My name is Gretchen Leutert, I have been working with Mrs. Bein’s kindergarten class during and after school hours. I am delighted to say how much fun I am having as well as gaining a lot of experience for I am studying to become a teacher at Westfield State College. I love working with kindergarteners and I am looking forward to teaching that age when I graduate in 2006. Prior to working here I have had a lot of past experience babysitting and being summer camp counselor and advisor for two years. I have been around children most of my free time and I love learning from them and with them. I have been happy and excited to be working here at Canal Village School for about a year now and I am looking forward to meeting new children and working with them in months to come.
