Welcome to the new site!
The past week has been a whirlwind. Last Sunday evening I left with about 15 of my new staff members on a 4 day trip to Corpus to learn about the “Engage Learning Model” that we would be using to transform Navasota Intermediate this year. I must say, I was a little nervous heading into…
This summer I wanted to find a great way for my new staff to start learning things before we even were at our new campus together! I have heard the phrase recently and I totally agree, that we are “Professional Students”. What better way for me to model that I am a continual learner then…
There is no reward without some risk involved and nothing easy is ever worth having. I completely believe that. As you may have read in my recent posts, I took a new position in a new district. Yesterday was my last day ever as a classroom teacher, and today I said goodbye to all my…
Yesterday we celebrated our annual #YouMatter Day! It’s a day I came up with to celebrate those around us and recognize staff and family at Fields Store Elementary for the contributions they make and to remind them that they’re noticed. The first thing we did was watch Angela Maiers message that she did for Tedx….
For those of you who don’t know, recently I accepted a position as Principal of Navasota Intermediate in Navasota, Texas! I couldn’t be more excited. Stepping out of the classroom and into a leadership role wasn’t something I thought I was ready to do yet. I LOVE working with my group of kiddos every year….
If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time you know that I am a Classroom Champions teacher. I couldn’t agree more with the mission of this organization. They seek to connect top performing athletes with students and classrooms from across the country. When I was accepted as a Classroom Champions teacher at…
If you’ve read my blog for very long, hopefully you’ve been able to see how honest I try to be. I try to share my successes as well as my failures. I try to write to hopefully inspire but also show that everything isn’t always perfect. In the state of Texas our state exam is…
Back in July I remember meeting Eric Sheninger for the first time. I had followed him on Twitter for a while and really looked up to and respected him. I was attending and speaking at the CAMT (Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teachers) in San Antonio and saw he was also presenting. I sent…
Since joining twitter I’ve become friends with or started learning from some incredible people. People like Brad Waid, Drew Minock, Erin Klein, Adam Bellow, Eric Sheninger, Angela Maiers, and soooo many more. People who have been on for a little bit and grown huge followings. But I’ve also become “friends” with and started learning from…
I’ve spent the last few days in New Orleans, Louisiana. Having never visited this city before I was very excited to check out the Audubon Zoo, Aquarium, the French Quarter, and more! And those places didn’t dissappoint. It was all beautiful. But there was also another side to New Orleans that was on constant display….
While attending EdCamp Awesome a few weeks ago, I participated in a conversation about Chrome Extensions facilitated by Chris Evans. Chrome Extensions are little add ons to your Chrome Browser (which if you’re not using Chrome yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!) Here are 10 that I learned about and have fallen in love with!…
We’ll it’s official, we just completed our Second Annual Math Fair! I couldn’t be more proud. Many of you who have been following me for a while know that I did a Math Fair with my students last year. It has truly been the highlight of my career. For those of you who don’t know…
