Plain and simple . . . teaching and empowering kids to learn and grow is my PASSION! I love designing lessons, creating engaging activities, and discovering new ways for my students to learn. My passion to teach flows from a heart that was nurtured by a gifted teacher, my MOM! Education is in my blood! In one form or another, all of my siblings have taught or continue to teach. I am a mother of five and now my oldest daughter is about to student teach this coming fall, while my second oldest is currently a dance teacher. Teaching seems to be our "family business."
My husband and I have been married for 27 years and we love kids and families! We love hearing lively voices and laughter in our home! We currently have four adult children, and one teenager getting ready to be a sophomore in the fall. We have loved the privilege of being parents to our five children. Parenting has been a gift and a responsibility that we have welcomed. Together, as a team, we have desired to raise children who love one another and respect each other. From these core beliefs, we hoped that they would take that love and respect to reach out and care for others around them. We are a family that loves being together and it is such a joy to celebrate and enjoy all that is evolving and developing in their individual lives! We feel so blessed to be a part of our Bieber family!
The joy of family and friendship has spilled and overflowed into my classroom. My classroom has always been an extension of my heart! Each year, I desire to provide a learning environment that allows children to thrive, a place of encouragement and growth! I love learning, so I am always researching and creating new activities for my students. I am always looking for new ways to teach concepts and ideas to enrich my learning, as well as my students!
In this blog, I hope to share some of the wonderful things we are discovering and learning in the classroom this coming school year. I will also share some Bieberisms, regarding parenting and family life! I hope that someone out there is encouraged by my posts about education, the classroom, and the family! Happy Learning . . .
