dance to all ages and is a water safety instructor with the American Red

Ms.
Martin is the Threes lead at Googols. Who doesn't know Ms. Martin? A school teacher in
the Lawrence Public School district for 19 years, she taught children from
kindergarten through 6th grade. She's worked mostly in Lawrence, but
a few years in Topeka as well. After retiring she continued to sub in
the district before joining us here at Googols of Learning in August of
2008. A teacher with seemingly endless energy, Ms. Martin knows how
to encourage the children to learn. In the classroon she is the
teacher as well as a playmate, just as likely to get up and dance and play
kickball with the children! Maybe it's those 4 boys she raised!Assistant Lead-Threes

Ms.
Cheryl says, "I
have discovered a new enjoyment in working with small children since I
started at Googols of Learning in July." She retired from teaching elementary school
after 21 years, moved to
Lawrence and says, "I was lucky enough to land a job at Googols of Fun. I worked
there for 3 years. Then, just before Googols of Learning opened in 2008, I
moved out of Lawrence. When I returned this summer, I was so happy to find
there was a place for me here again." You will either find her in the office or somewhere in the building helping Shanna and Amy, or in any classroom where she might be needed. "Each age group has its own special qualities and I enjoy them all."
