They foster relationships and truly love what they do. I know it's important to let them know they are appreciated, so I plan on doing some nice things for them next week, which is Teacher Appreciation Week. Teacher Appreciation Week is … [Read more...]

online college

I was on the 7 year plan for college, and while I did finish my undergraduate degree I've thought about continuing my education further. Even if I don't get a second degree to boost my career, I've thought about doing it just for personal reasons because I enjoy learning. I've taken a class here and there - not much more than that.

Quincy and her Tag Junior Pal, Violet

Tag Junior

Poor Sebby, Quincy has been going after his Tag reader for some time now, so our friends at Leap Frog were sweet enough to send Quincy her own Tag Junior. Now Quincy has sweet little Violet to help her learn to read.

It’s time to @SoarWithReading!

Soar with Reading

I had the opportunity to chat with Ron Fairchild, President/CEO at Smarter Learning Group, last week about how to make reading fun for children. He suggested reading books together with your child and to focus on their natural interests. Summers are a great time for freedom and to explore.
