Meet the Teacher Monday!

Today was the first day of school, and I am SO exhausted! So much I needed to do, and so much I want to do!   My class is awesome, and they are willing to work hard and get to know each other. I am trying to not overload them with everything!
(P.S. I wore my b.o.c. Wedges today, but I had to change into my Asics sneakers by lunch time!)

Tell us a little something about you!

I love teaching 4th grade, and I am proud to be a Texas girl!  I have taught 3rd grade and 5th grade but my favorite grade is 4th. 

How long have you been teaching?

I have been teaching for many years,  but every year seems like the first because I approach each as a new adventure! 

What are you looking forward to this year?

I am looking forward to incorporating more tech tools this year, and I hope to share more with the staff on my campus. 

What teaching supplies can you not live without?

I love my Smartboard so much!  When I got mine after the winter break two years ago, I considered it a holiday gift. 

Books are also VERY important to me!  Books begin conversations and friendships. Books teach us about life. 

I just got my own iPad, and I look forward to using it in my classroom.  So many great apps!

Low tech I know, but I also love sticky notes!  In every color and shape!


Another great tool in the classroom for the teacher:  a really GREAT pair of shoes!
