My Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to provide teachers and homeschooling parents a site to read lesson plans that I have prepare for my classroom and for my children when they reach the age that I will homeschool them. I am currently an educator in a rural public school. I have seen many good and bad things over the last two years in the public schools. I hope that this will be a guide that will help to direct you in teaching in the most effective ways. I have a strong dislike for the education system as a whole, but I love the kids that I work with. I enjoy seeing my students be challenged on a daily basis. The students who are not as gifted benefit as well from the good instruction and from the challenge that my classroom provides. I have seen students who were below grade level in reading jump an entire grade level in only two months when the appropriate teaching and pressure to succeed is provided.

I hope that the start of this blog will be just that--a start. I hope to continue to blog throughout the remainder of my teaching career at public schools. Then I will begin blogging my challenges and successes while being a homeschooling mom. One of these days, I may write a book about my experiences.

Note: I will never tell my full name, my school district, my state, or any of my students names to protect my job, my school's credability, and my student's identities. Any names I use (other than my first name) will be changed to protect all parties involved.
