NTCTELA Conference Today!

I attended my first North Texas Council of Texas of English Language Arts (NTCTELA) today. It was AWESOME! Matt de la Pena was the Keynote Speaker, then I heard Donalyn Miller and Teri Lesesne, and finally I ended the day in a writing workshop with Matt de la Pena. It was a great day of learning!

Welcome!

Originally, I began this site to assist leaders and share Girl Scout ideas. I will continue to do that, but I have changed my focus to share a little about everything. I will ramble on and on about education, of which I have been a part for the last 28 years, Girl Scouts, which runs deeply through me as I was one from Kindergarten-12th grade, earned my Gold Award, and have led troops for at least 11 years, and life, which I live daily--the ups and the downs.

I have taught Pre-K students through adults in the private sector and through Professional Development. I taught 3rd-6th grades in public school, worked at the District level with K-5th Science teachers, and at the campus level with 6th-8th grade teachers in all content areas. I have worked more closely with the Science community the last 8 years, but I am now going back to my ELA and History roots and working with all three.

Our Girl Scout Troop, which I lead with a BFF, is a Cadette Troop. Over the last few years, we have had 5 girls earn their Bronze Award and 2 earn their Silver Award. We hope to have more in the coming years. Since this, we have combined 4 older girl troops. We now have girls 7th - 11th grades.
