I am a 26 year-old teacher...turned grad student. I am currently working on my Master's of Elementary Education and should complete it at the end of August. I taught 2nd grade for two years before returning to school. After moving to a new city, coming face-to-face with massive budget cuts, and hiring freezes...I took time off to focus on school. Hopefully, with the coming school year I will be able to find a position teaching again. If not in the public schools...in a private school.
I thought putting together some crafts, games, and activities would be a good use of my time. Being a teacher, I had to come up with relatively cheap projects for a class of 20 energetic children. Sometimes, the crafts were more expensive than I would have liked...but there is nothing like watching and helping children create and learning through arts and crafts! I will also share some of my other passions with you here. Such as, wonderful picture books and little math tricks!
I hope that you enjoy these ideas as much as I did. And hopefully, you can find a way to work them into your life or classroom! If you ever need something I share with you: a copy of a pattern, help locating a book, or anything else...I am always here. Just email me at the address to the right of the page and I will get back to you!
Also, if you are a tired parent or teacher...sometimes there will be things here just for you as well. I hope to have several giveaways so check back often! Also, if you need help planning an activity for a specific topic, book, or whatever...I would love to pick my brain and help you!
Welcome and enjoy!!!
