I am a 22 year veteran teacher and curriculum writer. I love creating lessons that make learning new concepts engaging and fun. I believe in rigorous, standards-based learning where students are actively engaged with the materials, each other, and the teacher. http://ilove1stgrade.blogspot.com/
The key to great teaching is to follow your students and differentiate. I love learning about each child's interests, especially if it is a topic I do not know a lot about. I always learn as much as my students, if not more. If teaching is engaging and rigorous, then I know my students will learn. Teaching new concepts {or old ones in novel ways} revives my love of education!

I feel very blessed to have a job that I love (and have loved) for 22 years. I am SO lucky! I love creating rigorous resources that capture the attention of the littlest learner.Reflecting on each lesson to become more effective is my passion. I try hard to change in order to meet students needs and keep school exciting for them (and me)! http://ilove1stgrade.blogspot.com/
