A Little about me!
I love teaching first grade. Some mornings I jump out of bed excited to start the day with my little ones. I live in NY and drive over a large bridge to teach in a wonderful little town called Highgate, Vermont! I am a chocoholic and I love my once a day Diet Coke! I am a crafter, always looking for great Christmas projects to make for others. This week I am saying good bye to my two terrific kids Catherine and Bobbie who are both off to school. It will be pretty quiet around here without them:(How long have you been teaching?
Well I started my teaching career by subbing for about 7 years before I landed in a warm and beautiful school in Highgate. I am starting my 22nd year! I'm feeling old.....You may not know....
I started my career wanting to save the earth in Natural Resource Management. Soil Science and Chemistry were not for me. Once I changed to Early Childhood Development everything just clicked for me. I loved it. Another little fact about me is..... I am one of 12 children! I have family all over the US and I love them all. We all grew up in Maine and I try to go back each summer to reconnect!What are you most looking forward to this school year!
I am looking for to skyping with fellow blogger Laurie Hilton over at Morning Sun First Grade. I am so excited to connect with another first grade. I am also very excited about using our new ipod touches. They will be a great addition to our program. Things I need to work on
This year I will need to work on my time management! I want to do it all. I need to figure out how to be more efficient while I am at school. I also want to work on keeping my desk neat and cleaned off.What teaching supplies can you not live without?
My computer is my most important teaching tool. I have an extensive picture book collection and I couldn't teach without all my books. I think I'm obsessed with them.Check out all the teachers from this linky party at
School starts for me tomorrow with Teacher In-service! I am excited and looking forward to a new year!
