Book Character Day October 31, 2018
My former kindergarten student, Quinn, stopped by for a visit.
Of course, I am the character from the book Ladybug Girl.
Hello! I am Jan Leicht and this is my 29th year of teaching elementary school. Fresh out of college, I began teaching sixth grade in my home state of Alabama. How did I arrive at kindergarten? Over my 29 years, I have taught all grades in elementary school, and it has been exciting and interesting to experience the different ways of teaching for various age students. I have a B.S. in elementary education from Judson College and a masters in early childhood education from the University of West Alabama. My husband is an engineer who works in Midtown. I have a son who is an architect in Atlanta, and a daughter who is an interior designer-project manager in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is my 17th year at Creek View where I began teaching 4th grade, and I am honored to be chosen Creek View's 2013 Teacher of the Year. Kindergarten is one of my favorite grades because I certainly get to "see what I teach"!
"Tiny Kindergarteners and tiny ladybugs....
colorful by nature and always amazing to observe!"
