For the little people known as kindergarteners...

Today I will begin blogging about my adventures, learnings, and thoughts towards teaching. My experiences in education are not as vast as some others, but I believe they are valuable. I believe in our children, even those who are often seen as unlikely to succeed. I thrive when I see young people growing and learning in unique and exciting ways. My hope for all of my students is that they learn at least one thing while they are in my classroom...I want them to know that, "They are special, and they CAN learn". So many students that I meet day to day have been told that they can't, I want to share with my students that they CAN and they WILL. There is a moment, when you have been working with a child for a while, when all of a sudden you see the glimmer in the child's eye...the moment when the child realizes that they have had success. It is these moments that drive me to continue my learning as an educator...it is these moments that get me through all of the challenges I face each day in the classroom.

Counting Coconuts

This is an amazing blog. It is written by a mom who is committed to teaching her child using the Montessori method. Over the last several months I have become more interested in Montessori because we have enrolled our three year old into a montessori school. We have been learning the process along with him, and I am blown away by all the things he is and will be learning in his classroom. As a teacher in a public school I have a great deal I can learn from montessori classrooms. I am looking forward to learning more and I can't wait to hear more from Mari-Ann at Counting Coconuts!



These are just a few of my favorite posts from her blog:
