Why settle for an education, when you can receive a Delaneycation!
This site is dedicated to parents and teachers looking for resources to not just teach our kids, but to inspire them!
Passion
If you were to talk to my grade school teachers they would all say the same thing; I never paid attention, I was rowdy, and a huge procrastinator. It wasn't until college that I realize I had a bad case of ADD. I know, I know! ADD and ADHD seems to be prescribed to every kid now a days. For me, receiving help changed my life. One semester of classes I was failing, received help, and the next semester I was on the A - B honor role. I taught for four years as third grade teacher in a private school. Then I had the best time as a youth programs educator at Lansing Community College. Here I taught Gifted and Talented kids in math and science as well as became a robotics instructor. A few years in fifth grade, which I really failed at. Not because of the kids or my amazing coworkers but because I didn't trust my gut and stay true to my own unique teaching style. Then I took a fourth grade position where I found my groove again, doing my thing!
Who am I to provide educational advise? I am a scientist at heart. I am not afraid to bomb a lesson, learn from my mistakes, and start over. Through my years of teaching I have learned a lot. It's time for me share my experiences so we can grow together on this adventure of inspiring learners at any age!
This site is dedicated to, My children, who receive what is leftover after spending the day inspiring other parents' kids.
To my students, I believe in you and I love you!
To my Girl Gang, you've had my back from the beginning and I will always love you for that.
To Mindy and Bob, when I was being trampled you gave me faith in humanity again. Thank you!
