Welcome to My Blog!

Being a teacher is full of ups, downs, and in betweens. I love the look on a students face when they learn how to read. I love when students can solve problems on their own. I absolutely love when students feel proud of their work, and want to share it with the class. This blog is going to be full of moments in the classroom, pictures, and sometimes videos. Take everything with a grain of salt, as it is my opinion & reflections.

Oh What a Week!


This week was full of many fun and exciting things. I had one hilarious student start the morning off with..."Morning! Did you know that bison’s were chased to the end of cliffs by Native Americans, and they were chased to their death?" They are full of such useful information, it is definitely endearing.

Love them.

Today we designed self-portraits with a pencil. Then we covered them in glue. Then salt was poured on the glue. Then we took water color (Thank you, Mr. Faust) and dipped paint on top of the salt. They turned out "artistic." Although the art project was interrupted by a fire drill...which let me tell you, you don't know "panic" until classes of 1st graders and a guest reader have to throw paintbrushes down, and literally rush out the door. So amidst the few accidental splatters...it was a successful day! We also attended a parade, where we cheered on and gave encouraging words to students who will be taking the FCAT next week!
