2. Who Am I?
 My name is Simone Boyle-Nowacki… I am the
youngest of 9, one of only 3 girls. I am
stubborn, sensitive, an army brat, out
spoken, independent, a terrible, yet caring friend. I
am too dedicated to my children, job, and anything
that I am working on….

 Marianna- a freshman at St. Michaels in
Colchester, Vermont.

4. Where do I live?

5. Currently I reside in
Binghamton, NY, The Carousel
Capitol of the World.

6. I teach Pre-Kindergarten at the
Discovery Center of The Southern
Tier!
This is a hands on children’s museum. I have the advantage of teaching pre-k and being able to reinforce my
teaching with the exhibits in the museum and by being able to use the Story Garden to play and talk about books
we are reading in class. This truly is an amazing place to work. I have two classes, three hours in the morning
and 2.5 hours in the afternoon. The afternoon Pre-K is affiliated with Binghamton City School District UPK
program. I have 11 students who take advantage of both programs by staying all day. The next page shows a few
pictures of my current class. They are amazing, of course!
