I come from a very non-traditional teaching background as I did not attend college to become a teacher. I didn't have the traditional "teaching" courses in college and I didn't do a student teaching semester. Therefore, when I became a teacher in 2011 I had to "learn how to be a teacher". A few summers ago, while surfing the web for new ideas to spark my imagination. I came across a blog about WBT. I was instantly captivated by it all. I quickly looked on Youtube for some "live action" and there were several out there, but sadly none for a preschool setting. I started thinking why not me, why not be the one to start a blog and use my classroom to help anyone else out there wanting to do the same. So after watching a few youtube videos, reading some ebooks on WBT and purchasing the WBT book and asking some questions on some different forums I have decided to jump in with both feet.
I have begun my certification process in WBT and will be blogging a about that process as it develops.

School will be starting again next week and I have already begun the process of tweaking and planning for the rest of the year using WBT. While I have been teaching for a few years now, there are several things I want to change to make the class run much smoother than the past years. I tried many different ways to get and keep their attention, it often lead to frustrations on all of our parts. NOW I have a game plan and lots of ideas to get AND keep their attention. I will be sharing with you as well as some videos of how well it went, and well... how well it didn't workout for me. This is a journey and I know there will be lots of learning moments for all of us. Excited to see how my first week goes!! Fingers crossed.
Thanks for following me- Let's do this!!
