I'm Katie Lyon and I'm a 2nd grade teacher, VP and blogger at Mrs. Lyon - Teaching: The Art of Possibility. On my blog, I share classroom tips, teaching ideas, and classroom resources. I'm a big fan of technology, and am in charge of our school's 1:1 iPad program. I share tech tips that can be applied to the classroom.
Summer is beginning to settle in nicely for the Lyon Family. With that being said, I finally had time to begin the other blog I have been planning on doing since my daughter was born......a year ago. I know that as teachers, we never really do stop planning for school but I thought perhaps some of you might be looking for some type of DIY project for your own home.
Head on over to my new blog, The Lyon Lair, where you will find a great DIY project on creating an umbrella base out of a flower pot. While your there, I hope you'll take the time to follow my new adventure. You'll see more DIY projects and read about issues on being a wife and mom and teacher AND blogger. I know many of you will be able to relate. :-)
I don't know about the rest of you but I still have three weeks left before school gets out. However, as the end of the school year comes to the end, I'm busy gearing up for the beginning of summer and with that, the beginning of an awesome book study. A group of us who teach third through fifth grade plan on collaborating and reading and blogging about The Daily Five and CAFE. We are so dedicated to this whole idea that a blog has even been formed for us to keep all our notes and discussions in one place.
WHERE you ask? Over at a fabulous blog created by Lorraine from Fabulous Fourth Grade Froggies called We Read, We Blog, We Teach.
We begin this fabulous adventure with The Daily Five on July 1st and will complete one chapter every three days. Once completed with that book, we will move onto CAFE which is scheduled to begin on July 22.
Be sure to pick up your copies of these books today so that you can join us in our discussions!
