My name is Dee Dee, I am a first year teacher here in the good 'ole KY. I absolutely love teaching and I am surely in the process of falling head over heels for first grade. I have been stalking looking at teaching blogs since I declared my major to be elementary education about 4 years ago. So far I haven't been one that has been able to contribute back to the people who have given me SOO many wonderful tips and ideas for teaching, but I would love to start sharing some things that I am doing in my classroom.
I am so thankful for the wonderful education I got at Western Kentucky University. I had some fantabulous professors and they taught me everything from how meaningful it is to students to show that you care about them to different approaches to teaching literacy. None-the-less, I have found myself in a crash course of how to be a first grade teacher.
Hopefully I will have the opportunity to share things but I'll tell ya, I'm a learner. Everyday I am learning just as much as my students and then I come home and try to learn some more about how I could have done it better! Everyday I am trying new things and learning what works and what just flat out DOES NOT. If I am stumble upon something that is great, I'll sure be sharing it :)
The main thing is, I like to share, I like to talk and I love people. Sharing experiences with other teachers and hearing about theirs has been one of my favorite things about blogging and now I have a place to do it! I'm finding that this teaching experience can be a bumpy ride at times but,
Talk to ya soon!
Dee Dee
