Okay… this is it… the very 1st entry of my new classroom blog. ☺ Where should I begin?? Let’s start with the name. Deciding on the name of a blog is tough! Should it be funny? Serious? Cute? I finally settled on two things that I just can’t live without: Literacy and Laughter
A little about me:
My name is Amy Rider. This is my 7th year of teaching and I am very excited about teaching All Day Kindergarten this year!
Interests: Spending time with Mike, Scott, and Maddy, teaching, reading, photography, Writer’s Workshop, rooting for the Cincinnati Bengals, playing games, children’s literature, and learning!
A few important people in my life:
My husband, Mike, works for the city of Indian Hill. He has been busy building a new bookshelf for our classroom.
Interests: playing with our children, landscaping, helping others, baseball, and rooting for the Bengals and Buckeyes.
My son, Scott, is going into 3rd grade this year. I just can’t believe how quickly he has grown up. He is so helpful and kind. He makes me smile- OFTEN!
Interests: spiking his hair, reading non-fiction, riding thrill rides, playing baseball, building with legos, and taking care of our new puppy, Molly.
My daughter, Maddy, just turned 3 this summer. She is very funny and makes me laugh- A LOT!
Interests: dancing, laughing, princesses, books, drawing, asking questions, and anything that is PINK.
Thanks for checking out my blog! I can't wait to meet my new class of kindergarten students and to blog about our adventures. Here's to a GREAT YEAR with literacy and laughter.
