Thank you for visiting!!  I would like to welcome you to what I hope will be a fun place to explore! 

I taught kindergarten for 6 years.  This will be my fourth year in first grade.  I have learned a lot in that time, and I continue to learn more everyday. 

There are several reasons why I started this project.  I saw other people's fabulous sites, and they inspired me.  I wanted to put all my "stuff" on a website so that I had access to it wherever I was, and I wanted to know where to find my stuff!  I wanted to provide resources for other teachers.  I also want students to have a cool, safe place to visit on the web. 

I have published this before the whole site is completed.  It is a work in progress.  I am hoping that it will help others as it grows!

This site is dedicated to my mom, a kindergarten teacher for 35 years before she retired.  She taught me to be kind and say kind things.  I learned alot from her, in her classroom and at home.  She and her colleagues, like Sophie and Cookie, taught me more than any books could!  Thanks, Mom!


Enjoy!
