About carlakennedy

I have taught for 28 years in the public school systems in Alabama. I 've taught in inner city schools as well as the top test scoring schools in the nation. I 've taught 2nd through 7th grade advance English and Science. I am highly trained in the latest Best practices and techniques for helping students learn. I am dedicated and hard working. I am looking to acquire a mentor teacher position so that I can use the knowledge, experiences and training I've gained to help other teachers become excellent educators.

China: Medications:

Also, sorry I have lots of questions...I am new. I have meds for several minor things, and I got the amount of meds I needed for 8 months. My carry on is going to rattle like a pharmacy. I am bringing documentation of my prescriptions and thought maybe a letter from my dr.s as well. Is that necessary. Will having that much of my meds delay me at airport in any way?

China: Immunizations for China:

I have taken the boosters and shots that Center for Disease Control told me was necessary. Also had a flu shot. Do I need any thing else?
