About Me


     Thank you for visiting my blog. I am excited to be here. I have been teaching for 20 years and I find it so rewarding. I love what I do and want to pass on all that I have learned over the years to fellow teachers and students.
     I have a wonderful husband who supports me and understands the many hours I put into my classroom. He is a physical education teacher who spends many hours coaching and devoting his time to helping me raise our three handsome boys. My oldest son just graduated from college as a computer engineer. I am so proud of him and thrilled that he found a job in his field.  I have one son who is now a freshman in college. My youngest son is a junior in high school who plans on going to college. We will be faced with a lot of bills, but a college education is well worth it in bringing my boys success in life. All three of my boys love playing sports, and we spend lots of time attending their games. They are quite athletic and I just love watching them play. We are their biggest fans.   
    This is my 11th year of teaching kindergarten for the Fairhaven Public Schools in Massachusetts. I am fortunate to work with a fabulous staff. Kindergarten marks an important milestone in a child's life. I am proud of being part of that journey as I help navigate students into a lifelong commitment of learning.
     My classroom is a fun-filled, very busy learning atmosphere loaded with many hands on activities. I like to see my students engaged in high quality learning experiences that they are excited about. My favorite part of the day is during Literacy Center Time. During this time, the students have the opportunity to work in small groups and get plenty of practice of all the skills taught. I pride myself on the fact that most of my students leave kindergarten with the ability to read books independently and write a few sentences about a given topic using inventive spelling. The most rewarding thing ever is watching the students progress throughout the year and the HUGE smiles on their faces makes it all worthwhile.
     Teaching kindergarten is a rewarding experience. I may not have any official honors, but I feel that each day I am blessed with several sparkling moments as I watch the students continue to grow and change. It is truly an honor to be a teacher and watch the amazing progress students achieve. I just discovered TPT last year, and I am in awe of all the fabulous activities teachers are willing to share. I am just getting started with sharing some of my ideas and activities with others on TPT.
