Teacher Of The Year Recognition At Dorman!

WOW! What a great night the District Six Administration and School Board hosted for all the school Teachers of the Year. What a great honor it was for me to celebrate being the District Teacher of the Year with my family and all these students!!! Below you see students from this year and the last 5 years who joined me on the field during half time as I received my Cavalier jersey. When will I EVER see my name on jersey again? This picture will definitely be in a frame in my classroom VERY SOON! Thanks to all the parents who made this possible. Love you guys!!!

Fantastic Friday

What an awesome day we had!!! This was BY FAR the best day of school for our class. The earned their 4th Woody Wow and everyone went home with TONS of Dojo points. They are a fantastic bunch of kids. I am so lucky to spend the year with them.

Because we are an Arts in Basic Curriculum (ABC) school, we often have special arts programs integrated into our school day. Yesterday, we were honored to have Dan and Tutu Harrell sing, dance, and drum with us as we learned about African folktales and the art of story telling with music. It was so much fun! Ms. Ebron and I even got to be a part of the show! 

Open House

Great turn out last night. We had 12 families come to see our classroom. Thanks for coming! If you didn't make it, you are welcome anytime!

Making Words With Cheez-Its

A Walk In The Woods

Check out the integrated science/reading/writing lesson we did today. I love the outdoor learning space at our school!

First Day 2013-2014

WOW! What a great day we had in Room 102 as we kicked off another exciting year of second grade. I wasted no time getting the iPads in the students hands with a QR Code scavenger hunt throughout the building. The kids were searching for the lime green QR Codes so they could discover what day and time each special area class started, along with the start times for lunch, recess, and computer lab. They did an AWESOME job. After they discovered each code, students used the Scan Life App to find the information they needed. Then, they  had to report back to the classroom and write down the information collected. Pretty high tech and LOADS OF FUN for the first day don' ya think?  We are off to a great start!
