Welcome Door



I designed this door to welcome my new 1st Graders at the beginning of the year. I put fake sunflowers on the door with a hot-glue-gun. They loved that the flowers were popping off of the door as a 3-dimensional design. I wanted my name on the door so that all parents/teachers could find my room easily.

1st Grade Teacher

This is my first year teaching, and I was blessed enough to be placed in 1st Grade. I am working towards my Master's degree in Reading & Writing; However, I currently teach Math. I have a lot of ideas and resources that I would love to share! Even if you do not teach 1st grade, but are an Elementary teacher, you might find my blog useful! Email me with any questions or suggestions! And check out my other blogs:

RTI:

I worked as an RTI teacher for 6 months after graduating from college. I believe strongly in the importance and benefits of RTI. RTI interventions must be research based and data driven.

Children's Literature/Curriculum:

I love to read books to my students! I try to incorporate a lot of Math Literature into our lessons; simply because I believe in connecting Common Core Content to characters and fiction so that students will better understand and be compelled to want to learn.
