Introduction I am a young and energetic teacher who currently teaches at Gorrie Elementary in Tampa, FL. I began teaching at Gorrie a few years back as an intern in 5th grade. This is my sixth year teaching at Gorrie and fifth year in fifth grade! I graduated from The University of Tampa with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education in 2009 and went on to graduate again from UT with a Master's of Education in Curriculum and Instruction in 2012. I also adjunct as a professor of education at UT, teaching Educational Technology to soon-to-be teachers. I teach because I love that “eureka” moment students get when they discover some knowledge that I’ve helped lead them toward. The moment when they connect the dots in a complicated web of cause and effect. The moment when they realize they understand the material. When I am not working on school things, I enjoy going to the beach, watching a movie and playing with our puppy, Dex. He is an energetic Yorkie and he is such a mush. My goal with this blog is to establish open lines of communication between home and school. I love having a blog and really enjoy incorporating technology into my teaching. Happy Blogging!
