New To The Blogging World

Well, I tried posting about an hour ago and the image did not show up. Thanks to Emily I found this out. Sorry to all who have visited and there was nothing there! Let me try this again. I am not promising it will be as good as the first time, but I will try my best.

My name is Melissa and I am currently a kindergarten teacher in the public school system. Teaching is a strong passion of mine and has been since I was in the sixth grade. I played pretend teacher growing up, but it wasn't until my sophomore year in high school that I knew the purpose of why God wanted me to be a teacher. I found out then it was to help each individual child that I taught to find what works for them to want to love the learning process. I was diagnosed with ADD my sophomore year. I went from C's to A's and B's after a long road of figuring this out. I had a wonderful guardian angel in the form of a teacher. She looked out after me and showed me what it was like for a teacher to take the time and help a student. When I went to college and started working i my major I found that my love for the classroom and the children grew stronger and stronger. Creating and implementing lesson plans came easy to me. I finally found something that came easy to me. It was being able to use my creativity to help children learn! My ADD now doesn't look so bad, because with having this I am able to relate and help the children I teach today!

I have a wonderful godly husband that supports whatever the Lord leads me to do! He truly is my best friend and soul mate. I also have two beautiful children that are full of life and joy! You will see their names as "Little Lamb" and "Little Lion." They keep me on my feet and smiling everyday! God is so good. 

I started following a few amazing teacher's blogs about two years ago. Around the same time a friendly co-worker told me about a new website called TPT. I asked her what that was and saw the buttons on the teachers blogs that I was following. I then went on TPT and saw how amazing it really was! I have always loved creating my own activities for my classroom, but now I can share and sell them to teachers everywhere! I was so excited, but at the time I did not have the time or the energy to do so. Well now I do! I love to create and organize! These are some of my favorite things to do. What better way to do that than to start sharing what is going on in my classroom with you. I hope to have first few products up and going by the end of next week. I will be offering a freebie and a couple of newbies to my TPT store. I will also place an image here that will take you right to them. I am hoping this will become a place for me and other teachers to share hints and highlights to motivate us and our students to shine in the classroom!

Stay tuned for pictures, freebies and newbies coming your way! Also, leave a comment and follow me if you would like!
