Meet the Teachers

Meet Robyn

My name is Robyn and I am a kindergarten teacher!  I am in my 9th year as an educator.  I have not always been a kindergarten teacher.  I taught Special Education for 3 years and 5th grade Math and Science for 5 years.  I then got a WILD hair and decided that teaching the youngest would be the best fit for me.  I am LOVING my new adventures as a Kindergarten teacher! I feel like my passion for teaching has been revived.  The year has been great so far! I hope you join me in my new adventures!!
By the way...I also have a personal blog that you can visit here.  My TPT store can be found here.

I have spent a total of 11 years in education, serving both as a teacher and a Curriculum Coordinator.  I taught high school math for 6 years, mostly focusing on Algebra 1 and Geometry courses.  I found that although I did not like Geometry while I was in high school, it became one of my favorite courses to teach.  I also served as the Department chair for 5 years, where I focused on professional development within the department, equipment inventory and scheduling courses.  I was honored as my high school's teacher-of-the-year and also the district's teacher-of-the-year in 2007-2008.  It is quite humbling to be recognized by your peers!

While I was teaching high school, I also went back to school to earn a Master's in Administration and Supervision.  After receiving my degree, I moved into a Curriculum Coordinator position.  In that position, I organized and planned all state and local testing.  I also worked within administration requests and policies to create the master schedule for the high school.  One of my favorite roles was mentoring first and second year teachers as they worked to begin their teaching careers.  Since I am very much math-minded, I loved the organization required in scheduling testing and creating master schedules.  I became best friends with Microsoft Excel!

After my husband and I had our first child, I decided to find a job closer to home.  I have been back in the classroom teaching 6th grade math for the past 3 years.  I have really relied on all of my elementary school friends for help in merging my knowledge of high schoolers with some elementary ideas to develop my middle school instructional strategies.  I hope that you enjoy the variety of ideas we will share on this blog!

Welcome to our blog!  I fall right in the middle as a third grade teacher.  I am currently in my fifth year of teaching.  Education is my second career.  I obtained my B.S. degree in Exercise Science and worked as an Exercise Specialist at a local nursing home.  After 3 years into my career, I decided I wanted to fulfill my childhood dream of being a teacher.  It was then I pursued a Master's Degree with Initial Certification in Early Childhood Education.  I was hired 1 month shy of graduating.  I was one of three new hires in my entire county!  I knew this was God's plan when I landed my first teaching job.  I taught second grade for 3 years and was then asked to loop to third grade.  I took on the challenge, faced the transition to Common Core, and embarked on the journey to earn my Specialist degree in Teacher Leadership.  After teaching third grade one year, I was asked to remain a third grade teacher.  

As of today, I currently teach math and science to an amazing group of third graders, serve as third grade's lead teacher, and I am a member of the leadership team for my school.  Also, I have recently been asked to be the county-wide representative for third grade math.  I love my job and my students.  It's my ultimate goal to make a difference in EVERY child's life that enters my classroom.  I have an amazing husband, a three year old son, a baby boy on the way, and a fur baby.  I look forward to this adventure into blogging with two of my very best friends!
