- About Me:
- I have been teaching for 7 years now. My undergrad degree is in Urban Education. You can say that I have put my degree to good use! I have taught in Pittsburgh, PA, DC area, and now Harrisburg, PA. I have a Master's in Curriculum & Instruction with a focus in Reading. I teach 3rd grade and will argue with anyone that it is the BEST grade to teach. They are old enough to tie their own shoes, but young enough to not be "too cool for school"...yet. The independence they gain in the 3rd grade amazes me every year. I love integrating new technology in to my classroom whenever I can. It seems to be the sure fire HOOK to get all students engaged and thirsty for more no matter what the topic or their ability, race, or AYP levels are! :o) It's real true life-long useful learning. You can't hide from technology these days anyway.

:::::::::::::::::::A Teacher for All Seasons::::::::::::::
A teacher is like Spring,
Who nurtures new green sprouts,
Encourages and leads them,
Whenever they have doubts.
A teacher is like Summer,
Whose sunny temperament
Makes studying a pleasure,
Preventing discontent.
A teacher is like Fall,
With methods crisp and clear,
Lessons of bright colors
And a happy atmosphere.
A teacher is like Winter,
While it’s snowing hard outside,
Keeping students comfortable,
As a warm and helpful guide.
Teacher, you do all these things,
With a pleasant attitude;
You’re a teacher for all seasons,
And you have my gratitude!

GOD MADE TEACHERS . . .
Author Unknown.................................................................................
God understood our thirst for
knowledge, and our need to be led
by someone wiser;
He needed a heart of compassion,
of encouragement, and patience;
Someone who would accept
the challenge regardless of the
opposition;
Someone who could see potential
and believe in the best in others . . .
So He made Teachers

Teachers
Teachers
Paint their minds
And guide their thoughts
Share their achievements
and advise their faults
Inspire a Love
Of knowledge and truth
As you light the path
Which leads our youth
For our future brightens
With each lesson you teach
Each smile you lengthen
Each goal you help reach
For the dawn of each poet
Each philosopher and king
Begins with a Teacher
And the wisdom they bring.
By Kevin William Huff.

I love Mea's attitude, but guess what? 10th is the best grade to teach. Most of them can STILL tie their shoes, plus they are starting to think in abstractions but they aren't jaded by a sense that they have it all figured yet...

I'm so glad you like Kerpoof! Your kids will love it...mine ask for it daily. Be sure to check out the teacher section, they have some great lessons and integration ideas there. I haven't used their lessons but they gave me great ideas that would work with what we were already doing in class.
