who made this?

for my first idea post, i'm going to highlight something i've been using for years... picture clips.  i use the 3M strips to attach a laundry clip with picture of each student.  my private school requires a parent drop-off so during these precious 2 minutes they are in the classroom they enjoy looking straight to their child's picture to see what kind of great artwork they have accomplished during the week.

confession: i live vicariously through my kindergarteners.

i am an ordinary girl, as much as i hate to admit it.  i am so lucky in my life, i have wonderful parents, amazing sisters, a dog who turned me into a "dog person," and a husband who makes sure my life is never boring.  however, life as a late 20-something living in the 'burbs of atlanta isn't always fast-paced.

i am so happy when i'm teaching kindergarten,  i love it's chaos, humor, and unpredictability.  i wish i had as much sheer joy and amazement as the 5 year olds in my class do every day. they are so positive and filled with excitement.  i am constantly blown away how they have the ability to take constructive criticism from a teacher or a classmate and just bounce back like nothing happened.

i am so excited to start this blog about teaching kindergarten, i've had 5 years of teaching experience and a very messy home office that validates i have oodles of ideas to share with the teaching community.  

here i am!!!
