Here is a little bit about me!
My name is Emily, and I've been teaching for 7 years total. I'll be starting year 8 in just a few short weeks! My very first year I taught 4th grade, and have been in Kinder ever since. You can find out more about me by clicking the "About Me" tab at the top of my blog.
I cannot live without caffeine. It is usually in the form of coffee or soda - and if I had to choose one, I'd choose soda. My two faves are Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper! 9 times out of 10 a Mountain Dew bottle will be found on my teacher desk!
Like most teachers I have a thing for school supplies. I tend to
My favorite books to read to my students are the "If You Give...." series by Laura Numeroff. This was also a tough choice, because I love children's literature.
I follow so many teacher bloggers...it was hard to choose one. But if I have to, I would say my fave is Kindergarten Smorgasbord, by Greg Smedley. I have gotten so many great ideas from him and his blog posts! You can easily see Greg's passion for teaching Kindergarten...he has a spunk like no other!
Finally, the reason I love teaching Kindergarten......Kindergarten is a grade level like no other. The students enter Kindergarten at SOOOOO many different ability levels. By the end of Kinder, you see so much growth in EVERY. SINGLE. STUDENT.....no matter where they started. Seeing a child learn to read, is an experience like no other. It is ridiculously rewarding to see your hard work and dedication pay off! THAT is why I love Kinder....plus the kids are so stinking cute! :)
