Welcome to my web page.  When I am not at school teaching I am spending time with my two children, Shea and Kylie, and my husband, Kevin.  We are long time NASCAR fans and go to the Fourth of July weekend Daytona race every year.

Our school day begins at 8:00 am and ends at 3:00 pm.  Each day is filled with learning how to be good friends and good students.  When we are in the classroom we are busy learning about Jesus through Bible stories.  Worshiping God with music and motions is one of our favorite things to do!  We learn the multiple sounds that single and multiple letter phonograms make and we blend them together to read words.  Memorizing often used sight words helps us not to have to sound out every word when we begin reading books in January.   A variety of hands on math lessons and a daily calendar time helps the children to develop a solid concept of numbers 0-100.  After we eat lunch in the cafeteria, we spend our afternoons playing, working in small groups, and doing special projects.  In between our classroom learning we have recess on the playground once a day, go to music twice a week, physical education three times a week, computer lab and library once a week, and beginning the second semester we have art  and Spanish instruction once a week.  

It is very exciting to see such young children enjoy and accomplish so much in nine months!  Keep an eye on other parts of my web site for pictures of special events and periodic newsletters.
