 * Group Introductions:**

Okemia- Hello everyone, My name is Okemia June and I am a Language Arts teacher in North Carolina. I am available in the evenings after 6pm. I can be reached at okemia.june@waldenu.edu.

Zeina- Hello everyone, I am a wife and a mother for two boys (7 and 3 years old).I have studied my BS in science education and earned a teaching diploma after that. I live in Dubai now and I work in a School that follows the American Curriculum. I teach science for grades 4 and 5 and I am the coordinator for science from (K-5). The challenging part about our school is that it is so diverse and ever changing; students leave and new come in every year. I have been teaching for 7 years, and still I feel that I learn more every day. Last year, I taught science in the middle school for grades 6,7, and 8. After that shift, I can say that teaching is more challenging in the lower levels. Hope we will work cooperatively on this project. My time zone is GMT+4, so let us set a time that is appropriate for everyone!

I really look forward in working with all of you on this project! Eastern time zone, although I do have wacky works hours. If you need me for anything, just use my Walden email address!
