Educating with Heart

Well it took a while, but I have decided to go all in and get going.  I have been a blogger since 2013, but I have decided to rebrand and be Educated with Heart.  I bought my domains, got myself on a blog design wait list, and am working on some fun content that will be beneficial to you and your students.

Just as an intro again:  I am Jannie.  I have been teaching in first grade for about 17 years.  I have 2 adorable children that I love more than life!  My son is in 3rd grade and my daughter is in Kindergarten.  I work hard daily to provide a classroom that I would want one of them to be in. I love hands-on learning and my room is NEVER quiet.  We work hard, play hard, and learn tons!  I can't imagine any job more fun or rewarding than being a teacher!

One last thought: 

We are starting to get to the end of our year and as excited as I am to spend time with my own kids, I know some of my students are not so excited!  I teach in a very high poverty area and some of my students get their only love, acceptance, and belonging from our classrooms.  So no countdown for me! I would have some miserable students with some behavior issues!  I saw this idea the other day and thought it was such an important reminder for me because as much as I will miss them, I know they will miss school even more. 

Just a thought!
