Welcome to Ed-U-Smart, the educational blog dedicated to creating and sharing smarter ways to educate elementary students. Here’s a bit of background information about me. I have taught elementary school for 25 years. During this time I’ve taught 1st-4th grade. I’ve also been a gifted education teacher. In this job I worked with students in kindergarten-5th grade. I’ve also been the school technology specialist and math/technology specialist. In each of these jobs I worked with all kindergarten-5th grade students in my school.
You might be wondering what my favorite thing is to teach. I’m not sure. Each teaching assignment has it unique rewards and challenges. I love the ability to change and explore what each one has to offer. Maybe that is the best part of being an elementary school teacher, the ability to change, play, explore and create. Oh, and you can’t forget seeing the world through children’s eyes each day.
Because I love the way children view the world, this blog will at times have two guest posters, Edison U. Ratio Smart and his pet dragon Einstein. Edison U. Ratio Smart is 10 years old. He is logical and mathematical. Therefore he’ll share lots of left brain thinking with you. Einstein, the pet dragon, is creative, imaginative and gentle. He would never burn you with his fiery breath. I hope you’ll enjoy the insights each character will share.
For now, introduce yourself and your experience in teaching. Then check back often. New items will be posted frequently.
Coming soon! Book reviews on the election process that are perfect for the K-2nd grade classroom.
