Speaking of teams, I work with a variety of teams at Knollwood. One of those teams is the core first grade team. There are four sections of first grade at my school so I am blessed to work with three other amazing individuals who each bring their own strengths and perspectives to our team.
I already introduced you to Mrs. Tautkus yesterday. My other two first grade teammates are Ms. Holsather and Mrs. Erickson. Ms. Holsather has been teaching for eight years. This will be her third year at Knollwood. She is extremely organized and beautifully integrates music into all aspects of her day. You can often hear her singing with her students. Mrs. Erickson has 27 years of teaching experience and this will be her 22nd year at Knollwood. Now that’s dedication to a school! Mrs. Erickson is quite an artist and has a knack for design. Both ladies truly care about kids and helping them be the best they can be. 
Ms. Holsather and I taught the June session of Camp Adventure this summer. On one of the days, we went to Crazy Horse with our students. Both Ms. Holsather and I felt that we needed more time at Crazy Horse to enjoy the atmosphere and browse the museum. Plus, we were dying to spend money in the gift shop. Did anybody say “BOOKS”? We decided to take a “team field trip” to Crazy Horse and had a blast. Of course, we talked about school a little bit, but “school talk” did not monopolize our rich conversations. It was a quality team building time. Who knows…maybe we will make team field trips a tradition and go somewhere together every couple of months.
