Hello all! I am welcoming myself to the blogging scene. I know, a little late. However, there is just too much good stuff that needs sharing! So here I am.
I'm Heather. I teach a wonderful and crazy bunch of first graders in Southwest Missouri. I love what I do and the people I work with. Many of the ideas I get to share are either from the wonderful first grade ladies I teach with or from my amazing mama who has taught for many years. Lots of good ideas!
Speaking of my fellow teachers, we were among the privileged teachers who saw Dr. Jean Feldman speak in Springfield on Tuesday. She is fantastic! So energetic, active and creative! And everyone in the room was thinking, "If only I had her energy!" She shared so many wonderful ideas. Check out her website at www.drjean.org. She has also recently started a blog! you can get to it from her website. She posts a wonderful new idea each day.
Here we are with Dr. Jean! Tiffini, myself, Dr. Jean, Mary Lou and Hope! (We are missing one fabulous member of our 1st grade team. She had a beautiful baby boy and is out on maternity leave!)
She was kind enough to take a picture with us. We all look so tired! We were dancing and singing all morning!
I can't wait to come back and post some brilliant creations from my kiddos! The brilliance is not necessarily mine, as most teacher ideas have been stolen at some point... Lucky us that it is allowed!
