Welcome to my Blog! I am now fully inducted into our "tech savvy" world and will be including many forms of technology in my classroom this year! I can't wait to get started!
I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself and welcome you to an exciting year in fifth grade at Bob Beard Elementary. I am a graduate of Illinois State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education. I am also a graduate of the University of Texas at San Antonio with a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. I am beginning my twentieth year in the teaching profession. Besides opening Beard Elementary, I also taught at McDermott Elementary for seven years. I have had the privilege of teaching fourth and fifth grades, but I must admit that fifth grade is definitely where I belong.
I have two younger siblings. My brother, James, his wife, Hiedie, and my niece, Piper Addison, live in Indiana. My sister, Heather, her husband, Pete, and nieces, Charlotte Rose and Lillian Brooke, live in Massachusetts. I can't tell you how much I LOVE being "Aunt Shell" to my precious nieces. I only wish we lived closer so I could spoil them more often!!!
I enjoy boot camp workouts at 5:00am every morning, reading, being outdoors, going to the movies, being pampered with manicures, pedicures & massages, and spending time with my mom and grandma (who live here in San Antonio), and of course, my spoiled rotten dog, Lexi. I have a very enjoyable hobby which is scrapbooking (card making, projects, scrapbook pages, etc.).
And now...it's time to start blogging!!!
