When I Say Whole, You Say Brain.... Whole...

BRAIN!!

I am excited to announce that I will be a WBT *Whole Brain Teaching* Intern this year and will get to learn so much more about WBT and when it is all said and done, I will be a WBT Living Legend. Through this blog I plan to share accomplishments, trials, and PTL (Praise the Lord) moments of Whole Brain and my classroom in general. I have taught using WBT for a few years now, it is LIFE-CHANGING Ya'll, It isn't a new curriculum, it isn't a way to arrange your room or how to write you lesson plans but it is a LIFESTYLE in the classroom. This takes no extra planning in your part, it just takes you a minute to change your words and your outlook in your classroom. WBT is a great way to improve your disruptions and management in your classroom. 

But first, here is a little bit about me. I have been teaching first grade for about 6 years now. I student taught in first grade, got hired in first grade and plan to stay in first grade but I know that God laughs at our plans so I will change that to... I would like to stay in first grade. Some of my favorite things about first grade...

- Zero the Hero
- Music esp the Halloween Music
- 100th Day of School
- the innocence in a firstie
- Calendar Time (That may be my absolutely favorite time)
- singing and dancing
- Saxon Phonics

When I am not teaching, I love to spend time with my husband who I have loved for over 10 years (we have been married for about 5 years).
We have recently been blessed with a gift from God and we call her EC.She is our pride and joy and everything she does is pretty much amazing.
 We also have 2 fur babies who we love dearly. In my space time I love to quilt and sew, you may even see some projects on here... maybe... and I can sometimes cook and bake when I feel like cleaning my kitchen.
