Tales+From+Below+Ground-Kirsty

BHello there! I am Kirsty Lubicz-Nawrocka (and yes, that is my whole last name, and not by marriage...it's a doozey, I know.) I am in my third year at The Paideia School as the Elementary Science Coordinator. I always feel like that title is a bit deceptive - what I do is teach grades K-6 science in a small, basement lab. I don't mind the space, really. I have an amazing storage closet, a sink, little office, and a window where I can see everyone walk by. I am hopefully moving next school-year, though, to a fantastic building where I will have lots of room, storage, and be above ground - above the winter flooding and late summer mold. I have spent the past 10 years teaching in a wide variety of settings, from Wilderness Therapy/Outdoor Educator to a one-year stint in the good ol' Atlanta Public School System. I am the happiest here at Paideia than I have been in a very long time.

Blogger? I am a novice blogger. I am enjoying the feeling free to write as I think on the blog, sort of let the reader see how random my thoughts can be [|www.kirstylub.blogspot.com]
