sweatersandsand-deactivated2012 asked: I am so insanely happy that I just found this blog. I'm in school earning a degree in child development and I'll be certified in birth through pre-k education and pre-k through k special ed. Sometimes it's hard to find good pre-k ideas and I get kinda bummed out. Finding this blog made my morning :) Thanks for being awesome.

playingmylifeaway asked: Hi dear :) I was wondering if you know anything about teacher assistants (TA) and what qualifications are? I'm a sophomore P-4 Education Major and didn't know when I could apply. I take the first part of the Praxis in March I think.
