Hello,
My name is Mikaela Henington. I am a University of New Mexico graduate. I prefer to be called Ms. Mikaela. I am very excited to begin my career as a teacher. I am looking forward to finding ways to meet the needs of each and everyone of my students and building relationships that will last for a lifetime. I am excited to also get to know my colleagues in the future and to learn from them. I have had a passion for teaching my whole life. I used to help grade papers with my grandmother growing up and volunteer in her classroom. I taught sunday school as a teenager and have babysat since before I could remember. I worked for an after school program in Las Cruces that brought to light how hard teaching can be, how much planning needs to go into it, and how rewarding it can be. I look forward to progressing in my knowledge throughout my career. I have learned to be a very adaptive teacher due to covid-19. I now know that there is nothing a teacher cannot overcome.
