About me!

I think teaching kindergarten is in my blood and in my heart. I started teaching 3 and 4 year olds at a family owned daycare just 6 months out of high school. I Loved it!  The owner paid for me to get my CDA degree so I could teach the GA Lottery Pre-K and I did. Loved doing that as well. So I taught Pre-K during the day and went to school at night to get my degree. I just knew in my heart that teaching younger kids was my calling. It took me 10 years from graduating high school before I graduated college, but I did it!  When I got the call to teach Kindergarten, I was speechless, which if you know me is a very hard task!  I was so ready!
I am venturing into my 11th year of teaching Kindergarten and I don't want to do anything else!  During these past 10 years, many things have changed, but one thing that has not changed is my love for kindergarten!
I am happily married and I have two kids. My son Garrett will be 9 on the first day of school (August 5th) and is entering the 4th grade. My daughter Taylor is 5 and will be entering Kindergarten right across the hall from me.
I am so excited to share my adventures with you. Every up and down with common core and some really cool ideas. As you can tell from my title, I love to snicker or laugh at myself and the kids. Hey, if you can't laugh at yourself, then why laugh?
Let me know if you have any requests and follow me on Teachers pay Teachers!  I am new to blogging so please have patience with me. This is a new learning experience for me!
