TOP

I was so honored to be recognized as a 2013 Teacher of Promise for Virginia. This weekend me and 100+ other Virginia teachers gathered in Richmond for an amazing conference! There were SO many amazing speakers and I absolutely loved my mentor (the 2013 Virginia teacher of the Year: Kathy Galford) and mentor group. I learned so much this weekend from her and so many others. Could not have been more proud to meet so many amazing influential teachers!

If you would like to learn more about the Teachers of Promise Institute you can check it out here:

Thanks TOP! Awesome weekend!

He's Home

Finally my man is home :) Nothing better having him home when hes been gone! I sleep sooo much better when hes back. To bad hes gone again Saturday...but hes heading to the new base to look for housing for us so it will be a worth it! I just cant wait till June when we are finally together for an extended period of time. Couldn't be prouder though :)

We didn't end up getting to the St. Patrick's Day fun today since it was such a short day. Hopefully he will get to it tomorrow or at the beginning of next week! 
Off to bed!

2 hour delay!

We got a wonderful 2 hour delay today! I have started a big literacy unit using Cinderella stories from other countries. The unit will have comprehension activities, comparing and contrasting activities, information about the countries where the stories came from (locating them on the world map, what continents are they on etc) and of course some fun craftivities! Any suggestions on anything else to include?? I am super excited for it!
