Brain Breaks: We ALL Need Them!
Let's face it.... whether it's the first day of school or it's the last week of school... our students NEED a break at some point throughout the day.Now I'm talking about lunch or recess... or even PE.

Teachers: You are NOT alone!
Dear Teachers Everywhere,I know many of you are probably counting down the days until summer. Don't Lie. We've all done it.

The Alphabet – Up Close and Personal
Is this a blog? Am I blogging? It's been well over a month since my last blogging adventure (I apologize for that!) but with a few SDE conferences, the holidays, and everyday life as a mom, wife, and teacher.... blogging somehow got put on the backburner!
