What makes my world better....

I love being a teacher!  I love watching the light bulb go off when a student finally understands or when an activity I plan to help the students really works well. 

My class this year is fabulous!   The key has been that they are respectful and have beautiful manners.  How much easier my job is when the students listen, are eager to learn and are appreciative of the "extras".

I look forward to teaching every day and am so happy to have time with these children. 

School's in session

Well, back to reality...... teaching school, taking Katie to gymnastics, keeping way too busy!  I miss summer lazy days already!

Starting...

Well...I finally did it.  This is my first blog.  Random musings about life.  I am a classic "life-long learner".  I love to learn new things, research, and plan.  I am a teacher, wife, mom, and hobby enthusiast!  My newest passion is lampworking.  I began in May, and now have a full studio in my basement..It is amazing to heat the glass and watch it change and form into little works of art.  I am enthralled with each new bead I create.  My nephew who is 11 was here two weeks ago, and asked if I could make a turtle bead.  We ended up making several versions and they turned out really cute!  I'll post pictures eventually.
