Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! If you are an elementary teacher who is looking for inspiration to create a high-engagement learning environment for your students...then you are in the right place!
I believe that learning should be hands-on, creative, meaningful, and full of rich content. I strive to find ways to reach each one of my students in FUN and engaging ways. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing children engrossed in a learning activity. Or watching their little faces light up with excitement when they want to share a connection they’ve made. Or seeing them beam with pride after accomplishing a goal. I bet you know this feeling well!
I started this blog as a way to share my ideas (the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY...let’s keep it real), as well as my classroom happenings. I am so lucky to work at a school with some of the most talented and amazing educators that I’ve ever met. These ladies continually inspire me every day with their creative ideas, and I feel like I’m a better teacher because of them. You can meet my friends and read about their ideas on our collaborative blog Planning In Paradise.
So, a little bit about me! My husband and I were both born and raised in Buffalo, NY. Although we will always be Buffalonians (yes, that’s a word) at heart, we have found a new home here in sunny Florida where we are raising our two precious little boys.
I have been an elementary teacher since 2003...mainly 2nd grade and one year in 1st grade. When I’m not working on school stuff, you can find me:
- cooking with my two favorite chefs
- traveling
- D.I.Y.-ing
- Planning new adventures with my family
