Hello, My name is Janet Gross. I teach first grade at Love Memorial Elementary School in Lincolnton. I have been there for 18 years and have taught K and 1st the entire time. My husband and I have been married for three and a half years. I have 2 boys from my first marriage, only they are not boys now! They are 24 and 26 years old! Well, I guess you know that makes me old too! Anyway, I am having a great time meeting new people and learning new things in the Master's program. This is my second semester. I spend most of my time during the school year working on lessons and taking care of my mom. In the summer my husband and I travel. We went to Ireland 2 summers ago. It was fabulous! I guess this summer I will be in summer school. There are so many opportunities that I am truly grateful for and I am blessed by God every day.
