All About Mrs. Goodnick
Hello, Kindergarten Friend!! I am so excited to be your teacher this year! Let me tell you a little about myself. This is my 15th year teaching in Roxbury. Most of the time I was teaching 2nd grade, but I have also taught 3rd grade and Kindergarten. Of course, Kindergarten is my favorite!!
When I was a kid, I lived with my mom and dad in Randolph, NJ. I had had a younger brother, Scott, a dog and a cat. We were always playing outside in the woods and using our imaginations to play games. We rode our bikes and roller skated. I played with my dolls, Strawberry Shortcake, board games, cars and Star Wars (with my brother). My mom says that my favorite thing to do was play "school" and that I would set up all my dolls and stuffed animals to "teach" them. I even tried to get my little brother to sit still. Sometimes we would play Atari on rainy days.
Now I am a grown-up. I live in Mansfield Township, NJ with my family. That includes my husband, Mr. Pakutka, who is a high school teacher, and my three children. Henry is 15-years-old and is in 10th grade this year. Calvin will be 7 in December. He is in 1st Grade. My daughter, Heidi, is 4 years old. We also have a cat! My favorite color is orange and my favorite flavor is chocolate-peanut butter. YUM! I love the New York Giants, New Jersey Devils, and Baltimore Orioles. Every summer we have so much fun heading to Baltimore to see an Orioles game at Camden Yards! This year we had a fantastic time but now we are ready to get back to school! Are you ready for a great year?!
