Tell Us Tuesday
So I am a tad late jumping into this week’s link up party with all these great teachers, but better late than never! I love link ups! They are such a great way to meet new people and I love reading about other teachers as well! This link up is hosted by the great gals at Freebielicious. My name is Ashley Wright and for the past five years I have been a kindergarten teacher in Texas. This year will be a big change because I have resigned to stay at home with the newest addition to our family. I am the luckiest mommy because this little cutie is all mine: This is Lacey and excuse me when I say she is absolutely perfect. She was born on … [Read more...] about Tell Us Tuesday
A Super Science Sale!
Like most districts, we are all given some non-negotiables that ALL schools must follow. One that we have had for a while is all elementary schools must be teaching the same thing at the same time. So we have a team go in and create a detailed YAG that we all must follow together (I am NOT a fan). Each year they seem to add something new. Well, a couple of years ago we were given the directive that every grade level must have an interactive notebook in each core subject. This was a change that us kinder teachers freaked out over. Instead of having a summer to think it through and get our creative juices flowing to make this possible for FIVE YEAR … [Read more...] about A Super Science Sale!
The Resignation
Ever since I was little I knew I couldn’t wait to be a mommy. Early on I also knew that I wanted to be a stay at home mom just like mine was. I loved having my mom at home for me. I also loved that she was able to come on our field trips and help out at our school whenever it was needed. I truly thought it was so special and I wanted to do the same for my kiddos one day. As you know, the day finally came. I am a mommy! With that came the time to resign from the best job I have ever had. I honestly don’t even look at it as a “job.” It was much harder than ever anticipated. Not only was it my dream job, but all of my friends work there. At my school we … [Read more...] about The Resignation
A whirlwind of life events!
I happen to be the worst blogger ever. Seriously… I start every school year with the ambition to blog the whole year. I think I get the push after the restful break and being inspired by other bloggers. Needless to say, I start the year and get a couple decent posts in, then it hits… The sheer exhaustion of teaching kindergarten at the beginning of the year. I must admit I am a pretty lazy person, so when I get home the couch is my reward for a hard day’s work. I get into this rut of “oh I will try to blog tomorrow,” which happens daily. It isn’t until months later that I realize I failed and promise myself to try again next year. EVERY. YEAR. I am … [Read more...] about A whirlwind of life events!
