I often relax with a good book or movie and my favorite snack, chips and dip." Describe a special day at MCG: "A special day at MCG is when I have the luxury of hearing and observing a child help another child.

Educational Background: Montessori Certification 3-6 Favorite Children's Book: "Put Me in the Zoo" I love to see the children's faces light up with each page. They love to see the changing of shapes and colors. How I relax: I relax with a warm cup of coffee and a good book or by taking a nice long walk down the country roads surrounding my home. Describe a special day at MCG: I believe every day is s special day at MCG! My favorite special days are those when a child who has been working on a task everyday, finally masters it.

I love that idea and I remember imagining my own adventures and the places I could go to and the things I would see with my own purple crayon. How I relax: More than anything, I enjoy spending time with my our horses out at the farm. A relaxing day is just being with them and riding and enjoying the smells, sounds and other animals on the farm. I also love to read. I have my book with me at all times. I will even sit in the hay and read at the farm! Describe a special day at MCG: This past Thanksgiving, I was able to help out and be a part of the Thanksgiving celebration at MCG. It was wonderful to see all the children helping out and then to everyone sitting together, giving thanks. That was a very special day!

I also love to play games with my younger brother and watch movies with my boyfriend. Describe a special day at MCG: I would have to say the first day of science . It was amazing to see the shock and joy on their faces when water disappeared into steam.
