In the beginning, God created...children?!

Hello and welcome! I'm new to this whole blogging thing, so please be patient with me. I'm sure in no time I'll get the hang of it, but for now, I appreciate your understanding.

My name is Matt Amore and I am a 27 year-old graduate student at Columbia University's Teachers College. I am in my third semester of a five-semester program working towards my MA in Elementary Education through the Pre-Service Inclusive Elementary Education Department. At the end of these five semesters, I will be certified to teach elementary general ed and special ed in the NYC public school system. I'm stoked! This year I will be doing my student teaching, and having been inspired by the movie Julie & Julia (to blog, not to cook), I have decided to create this online journal of my experiences. I'll be blogging mostly as a way for me to keep a record of my year, but also just in case anyone else might be interested in what this year will teach me.

This will be a year filled with emotional highs and lows, joys and disappointments, struggles and breakthroughs, and most certainly, laughs - kids really DO say the darndest things. Will you join me?
