My First Post

I'm new to this blogging thing!  I absolutely love my job and I always have a funny quote or story to share.  I'm the teacher that stays after school late or goes in a few hours on the weekend once a month to get caught up!  I love to share photographs of projects we do or organization ideas I use in my classroom.  Until now, I've posted them on Facebook and I'm not sure ALL my friends enjoy seeing my tortilla teepees in November!;)  I think a blog will give me an outlet to share my ideas!

I chose the name "The Teacher's Daughter" because growing up I heard this quite often.  My dad taught fifth and sixth grade for twenty or so years at the elementary school I attended.  As a young child starting school,  students would often stop me and ask if I was the teacher's daughter.  I was always proud to say I was!  :)  My dad was an excellent teacher and received numerous awards on the local and national level.  While he is no longer teaching, he is still in the education field.  I believe having him as my mentor has made me the successful teacher I am today!  Thanks Dad!!!:)  

This is a picture of us in March when I received the Arch Coal Teacher Award.
This is a teaching award my dad also received about 10 years prior!

I hope to post more once school gets closer!  Hard to believe I just have a few weeks of summer left!
