Updates Coming!

It has been quite some time since I have posted -- I have been swamped at school, with master's classes, my two munchkins at home and of course being an awesome wife!  :)

I will be uploading some new photos from the beginning of the school year until now to show you what I've been doing in my room! 

Mrs. Goodman's classroom and my own were featured in The Voice and The Cadillac News for creating some Spooky Scenes with a little wood, caulk, paint, and dollar store decorations!  Our Spooky Houses were a fright!!!  Coming soon!!!

Most recent we were featured along with Mrs. Goodman's Kindergarten class in The Voice newspaper!  I will upload the link to that as well!  Our students did an outstanding job preparing and having a feast in our own classrooms!  I cannot wait to upload it all!

The Perfect Teacher

What makes the perfect teacher? 

• Does she put in extra hours - spending less time with her family?
• Does she look for ways to go above and beyond?
• Are all of her students treated equally and fair?
• Does she take constructive critisism and apply it to her classroom?
• Who has the answers for what a perfect teacher is?

I'm writing this to get an idea of what you think... please leave a comment I am interested in the replies.  Perception - we all see things differently... The grass is green...or is it sage...?
