I love to share ideas and freebies... Happy Teacher Heaven |
I'm so proud to be an educator! This is my 13th year teaching! I'm a National Board Certified teacher in Early/Middle Childhood Literacy. I'm currently teaching kindergarten after many years in the intermediate grades. It was a big change, but those sweet kinders have captured my heart. I cherish every moment with my kids!
I believe in a social and constructive approach to learning and implement a "workshop style" instructional format in my classroom. I am currently learning about and implementing CCSS, Daily 5, CAFE, writer's notebooks as part of a writing workshop, and guided math (math workshop) with my students.
National Board Certification, Early Middle Childhood Literacy
I earned both my BSE ('03) and MS ('07) from Emporia State University.
My passions are faith, family, teaching, blogging, reading, learning & trying-to-be-crafty! I think teachers are the BEST people on the planet...and I'm having so much fun blogging and creating products that will be a blessing to busy teachers and their students!! I love being married to my best friend getting to be the lucky Mommy of my sweet and funny little boy. Life is beautiful!!
