Guess who I met today?!?

That's me on the right with one of my team members and JACK HARTMANN!!! Only teachers will truly understand what an exciting way this was to start the work week! We had an amazing time singing and dancing the morning away at the Conference for Texas First Grade Teachers! I'm still so excited that I can hardly settle down to rest! I owe a very special thank you to one of our presenters, Mrs. Cheryl L. Dick that challenged me to go home and move forward with THIS blog! I suppose I must get some rest because tomorrow morning it'll be time to hip hop around the clock with my classroom full of A+ Firsties! Good night, all!

Introducing.....ME!

 I am a 1st grade teacher that has become totally addicted to searching teacher blogs for innovative, new ideas to keep my little firsties actively engaged.  I have had the priviledge of working with some awesome, giving teams throughout my career and have always loved openly sharing ideas.  After becoming completely addicted to blogging, I thought it would be fun to take part in the conversation as well.  I'm learning as I go and enjoying this new aspect of having a REALLY "open door" policy!  Thanks for stopping by.....lots more to come, that I hope others might enjoy as much as I have enjoyed "peeking" into wonderful classrooms via what I call the "blogosphere".  Happy teaching everyone!
