Welcome

Welcome everyone to the 1st year of our 1st and 2nd grade looping class. I am so excited to begin the new school year that I've already been collecting and gathering new books and internet tools as well as putting together loads of fun activities. We are very lucky this year to be receiving an interactive Smartboard in our classroom that is sure to enhance our learning. I am having a grand time learning about all the possible ways to incorporate this very cool tool into our day in every way possible.
For the remainder of the summer I will be updating this blog with tidbits about my summer. I have 2 teenage children named Sam and Alita who keep me on my toes. My husband Bill is at work most days so he misses out on a lot of our fun. Our 3 cats are always underfoot so you'll be hearing about them too!
Make sure to check out everything on the sidebar. I'll be adding to it and making changes as time goes by. Oh yeah, and remember to make sure and have someone read aloud to you everyday. It helps them relax and is the best way to prepare for 1st grade!

Here I am water skiing this summer on Woodbury Lake where we have a summer camp. I love to ski on water and snow!
