My name is Laura. A little about me……………
I am from Mt. Sterling. I am currently teaching kindergarten. School began last Thursday and I have twenty five adorable, very active children in my classroom and I do emphasize the word “active“! It’s amazing how much energy five year olds have!
I also have a very energetic toddler at home. She just turned three. Her personality is really starting to develop now. She has a huge interest in Cinderella…………..it seems we are constantly reading Cinderella books, watching the movie of Cinderella, singing Cinderella songs, dressing in princess clothes, coloring Cinderella pictures, ……….I think you get the picture! She definitely keeps me busy! Thank goodness I have a great husband that helps out around the house; I am definitely blessed with a wonderful family.
Other things that keep me busy………..I play piano; I especially enjoy contemporary christian songs. I read mystery novels and assist in teaching children’s church and youth group. In addition to these things, I enjoy spending time with my little sister from Big Brothers/Big Sisters. We have been “sisters” for six years.
I am not a huge movie fan; I would much rather read than watch a movie, but my favorite movie is Fried Green Tomatoes.
As for what I want to get out of this class……………..I am hoping to learn new ways that I can communicate with my parents through the use of technology. Currently I use a newsletter, however many of my parents have the Internet and I’m sure would be interested in receiving information through the web as well.

I’m embarassed. When I read this post all I could think of is, “She sends a newsletter to her mom and dad?”
Took me a minute and I had to re-read to figure out you meant your students’ parents. Tells ya where my head is at …
So, what do you think? Might you use a blog to write about what happened in the classroom today? Or let parents know what subjects/challenges/events are on the horizon? How about using it to get students to write? Kindergarten may be a BIT young — but for those who are ready for it … ?
Comment byYes, in the “elementary teacher” world we often have a habit of referring to our student’s parents as “our parents”. I often say I have 26 students and 26 sets of parents, because as a kindergarten teacher, you get the know the parents as well as the students.
Most kindergartners are just now learning the alphabet, but every now and then I run into one or two that come to school reading and writing. I have one now that can already read everything I give him. He could probably post messages with ease.
