Welcome to our class Blog! This will be my eleventh year teaching fourth grade in Cabot schools, and I could not be happier to be teaching literacy to my sweet fourth graders! I love, love, love what I do and just could not imagine doing anything else. I am a proud mother of four of my own kiddos, and I am amazed everyday at just how quickly they are growing up. We have a very busy and crazy life sometimes, but it sure can be fun!

Katie Byrd and I love walking 5Ks and sometimes we can

We make our way to Petit Jean about
twice a year for its great trails. |

| I am a certifiable book sniffer...LOL |

I am a sucker for cool professional development...

ReplyDeleteWas wondering if your state adopted Common Core and if so how has that affected your teaching. Also, what do you recommend beginning the year with: Informational standards or Literature standards? Do you teach language as well?
