About Me

Hello! I am a senior at Shippensburg University in the Pre K-4 Education Program. I am enjoying learning about how to become the best teacher that I can be! This blog was originally created as an assignment for my science methods course. However, I hope to keep up with this blog as I go into to student teaching and when I have a classroom of my own. I plan to use this blog as a place for sharing effective and interesting resources, lessons and books. I also hope to share some of my own favorite creations!
