About the Site

This website was first located on Geocities in 1999, and moved to its own domain in April 2003. It began as an information site for the parents of my students as well as a way to connect and share with people I meet in the online community (especially Teachers.net).

I soon realized the vast majority of visitors to the site were teachers, and this site has since become primarily a site for Pre-K teachers. This is my way of sharing ideas and things I have made with my fellow Pre-K teachers out there in the hope that you find something useful for your classroom, as I have found many useful ideas on the Internet for my own classroom. Thanks to all of the wonderful teacher-webmasters who inspired me to make my own site. This site is now one of my biggest hobbies.

About Me

I am currently teaching Pre-K in a private PK-8th grade school in Georgia. I have taught Pre-K for 10 years.

I have a B.S.E.D. in Early Childhood Education from Valdosta State University, and am certified to teach grades PK-5th. While in college, I also participated in the VSU Early Childhood Study Abroad Program in Great Britain, partnered with St. Andrew’s College in Glasgow, Scotland. I have also been trained in High/Scope, Math Their Way, and InTech.

I am a member of the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children).

Some of my work was published and referenced in a book called The Portfolio Connection, by Susan Belgrad. I currently write curriculum for Itty Bitty Bookworm, a literature-based preschool curriculum.

My interests and hobbies (other than teaching) are photography, reading, music, computers, and history.

My photography can be found on Flickr and ImageKind.
