Three Great Teacher Blogs

The Lesson Cloud

The “lesson cloud” is a tool to help teachers plan of upcoming holidays and ideas that can be used in the classroom daily. I feel this blogs is important because it gives teachers practical ideas that can be carried out with little work. The ideas on the page are in great detail, pictures are provided of how they activity actually worked out, so you know what variations need to be made to best support your students.

 

An Open Door

I chose this blog because in my experiences many teachers like to keep their ideas to themselves instead of sharing ideas with others. Sharing positive experiences are very important; many people are quick to point out the “downfalls” of being teacher. It is great to see someone sharing their passion with others.   Also when doors are left open for children to explore and grow freely the possibilities are endless for children.

Rebuilding A Teacher

I chose this blog because you can quickly “burnout” if you lose your purpose and joy for teaching. Many teachers experience it at some point in their career and it’s important to know that feeling is natural. Instead of leaving things as they are, make changes and start fresh. This teacher shares her journey of erasing old habits and ways of thought to help her children get the most of their time with her.

Welcome To My Blog

My name is Tomeka McCoy. I moved to Columbus in January of 2011, from South Carolina. My parents Chris and Sylvia still reside in South Carolina.  I enjoy coaching cheer leading at New Birth Christian Ministries, traveling, and watching Criminal Minds in my spare time. I am currently employed at S&K Children’s Academy as a Pre K teacher. I have worked in the early childhood field since August of 2004. In those eight years I have worked in all areas for a school: including time as an infant teacher, preschool teacher, assistant director and center director.

 I will graduate in the winter of 2013, with an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education. I plan to continue education at College of Charleston to receive a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education. I enjoy working with young children, so I would prefer to teach Kindergarten through third grade. One of my long term goals includes opening a preschool.

My favorite quote is “All great achievements require time” by Maya Angelou. I not only enjoy working with children, but know the importance of optimal childcare. My philosophy for learning is that each child is unique, and each child learns in a different way.
