About Me

My photo
I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in June 2009. I began my wonderful career teaching first grade shortly thereafter, in August 2009. In June 2016, I completed my Masters with the focus in Reading grades K-6th. This will be my 14th year utilizing a blog and hope that it will provide parents with another avenue to view their child's accomplishments throughout the school year.

February Fun

This past week, we worked hard wrapping up units in Math and Reading Writing as well as learning more about two of our important presidents.  Here are a few photos from our week:

Points for Purpose

This past week just flew by...so much so that I barely got any photos!
On Friday, we had an assembly where we presented a check to Mrs. Panko who teaches in the Autism Behavior Unit at Milford High School.  Last year she was able to get a service dog from 4 Paws for Ability named Buffy.  Students had an opportunity each month to donate points they've earned through our LiveSchool PBIS program.  For the second half of the year, students can donate points to raise money for our Miami Township Police Department.
Here are some photos from our week:

Happy 100th Day!

It's hard to believe that we are 100 days into our school year!  The students are certainly showing in so many ways how they are 100 days brighter.  Here are some photos from our week:
