Spending time with my 3 kiddos. I only have my kiddos 1/2 the time so I adore any time I get with any of my 3 teenagers:)! The rest of my time I spend with our family pup ,Gray, a 2yr old mischievous & lovable black Labrador retriever who I love to play throw & retrieve with but who really only wants to play tug of war. I enjoy anything, especially making visual , auditory , or kinesthetic learning tools & new ways of teaching a subject or skill. I love love love adding to my bag of learning tricks. Yes repetition is crucial BUT there are so many different ways to teach a concept/skill/ or grade level standard. I love exploring a variety of ways with my students to see which turns that light switch on & your child's face beam with "I get it!" And of course trying to make something each day or make something to get better at like different computer platforms. And believe it or not I ABSOLUTELY love LESSON PLANNING the because there are just so many different ways to teach the same curriculum depending on the individual needs of the learner. One thing that surprises people about me is that I do not have any social media apps. Time wasters for me...but I love Pinterest!!! The variety of curriculum ideas being shared by educators are beyond amazing for this teacher...who loves to share all things with others but especially other teachers or parents. ANYTHING TO HELP A CHILD BE SUCCESSFUL & help he/she to believe they can do anything with the right :) attitude & willingness to practice.
