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.

Some people just bring a special energy!

So, in my browsing today I came across the TeacherTipster. And I was addicted. I have now explored his website, youtube channel, facebook page, and shop. I can honestly say that he has inspired me to get more creative and use more songs in my classroom. I love the energy that he brings in his videos, and I cannot wait for him to share more videos once school gets started.

My favorite two things from his site: Chart Folders for after students finish their work and using a digital camera to scroll sight words for students to practice during down time. Both are seemingly maintenance free ideas that provide structure for students in times when structure is essential!

Check out his site:)!
