Mrs. Kurland has been a teacher for the past 28 years and has shared her joy of learning with the 2nd graders, 3rd graders, special education and is currently teaching 1st grade. Mrs. Kurland, and her husband have 4 children and 1 grandchild together. Mrs. Kurland says the she loves seeing a child's face light up when they learn something new. Her favorite book to read to her class is First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg. As a class, they talk about how we are all nervous for the first day of school, even the teacher. Then they drink Jitter Juice to help calm our nerves. It is a great first step to building a classroom community.
