Our PTO/PIC is Awesome!!

We were provided a luncheon at our school today.  We had yummy food (can't go wrong with Olive Garden) and they gave everyone a lunch box to start of the year as well. I thought that was so very thoughtful!! We all put our names in for a drawing and I won!!! I won this awesome centerpiece that is full of school supplies- my favorite!! We are very well taken care of at my school :)

Meet the Teacher

I just met all my sweet students for the year and I am excited!  It is going to be a great year full of fun and learning!  I just have to contain my excitement until Tuesday morning!

Beautiful flowers from a student on Meet the Teacher night! I love them!

Another sweet student brought me emoticon cookies ;)  I had to share them with other teacher friends because I can not eat gluten, but they said the cookies were yummy!!!

School Year 2014-2015

I am so excited to be starting another school year at the Academy at Nola  Dunn in 4th grade! I have a great team and can't wait to meet my great class.  What makes this year really special is that I have several students whom I taught kindergarten and 1st grade.  This will be the third year that I will have had the honor to teach them! How lucky and blessed I am!!

To ensure that everyone stays in contact with me and makes sure they know what is going on in our classroom I have set up a variety of ways to keep in touch.  I have attached a flyer that contains all that information- check it out!

How to stay in touch with our classroom?


I can't wait to get this year started!!

Teacher Retreat- Painting Fun

I am trying my best to wrap my brain around going back to school.  I am so thankful that we have a teacher's retreat to start this whole back to school process.  It is a gentle way to start the push that the new school year brings.  This year I had the honor of sharing my love for technology.  I love technology and am constantly amazed at all there is to do and see.  My favorite things to learn this summer were on coding and Google Lit. trips.  I can't wait to use them in the classroom! Until then I wanted to share some of the cool stuff my school did for some team building.  We had a painting party! Almost all the teachers were there and we all painted together.  I was supposed to help teach but ended up mainly painting-oops!

Technology Conference

I had the privilege of going to a technology conference.  The information I learned is invaluable.  I have put it all on a flyer to organize my thoughts.  Check it out!
