Hey Longhorns! This is Ms. Leining's student teacher, Mrs. Dzialo! I began what is called my "Total Teach" last Thursday and I'm having a blast teaching and working with all of your students. We started learning long division last Thursday and I'm very proud of all of the hard work and perseverance I'm seeing as we tackle a very hard concept! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at megan.dzialo@gmail.com
