A few months ago, I traded in my few 'teacher improvement' books for (what could possibly be) hundreds of 'mommy training' encyclopedias. While that decision has truly been the joy of my life, I do miss the life of Mrs. V. Well.. not so much the unprecedented anxiety of managing 25 11-yr olds with power tools in woodshop. (shudder) I miss the surprising, innovative, creative results from those efforts! I miss making lessons. And the knowledge that I was really providing something for those kids - that there is more to life than TV and Angry Birds - work hard - it's worth the time to search for your hidden talents - YOU can create.
With that, I bring you Mrs. V {at home}! I am excited to share with other mommies, daddies, caregivers, babysitters, (anybody!) fun and unique projects to do with your kids. As my degree is in Technology and Engineering Education, I feel I should warn you though -
There will be a little science... (keep reading!) ... a little craftiness ... (whew) .... engineering ... maybe woodworking ... computers ... design .... technology ... anything else that would fit into an elective teacher's handbook.
Stay tuned for
*Monday 'Make you go woah!'*
*Teaching Tuesdays*
*Teaching Thursdays*
*Anything else Fridays*
Thank you for stopping by!
I'm looking forward to the fun things I can learn and teach my boys. Thanks! (And Thanks to Lori for turning me onto your site.)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouraging words and support - Mrs. V, it's only fitting that you do a guest post :)
DeleteKim, this blog is a great idea! How I love that you have done the research and experimentation so I can look smart when I do these activities with my kids. I will be checking for ideas, especially when my kids are off-track, so keep the posts coming!
