My Book


I was so excited to receive the Spring 2016 Mercer University Press catalog this week. Inside is a description of my book, A Just and Holy Cause? due to be released in May! (One year after my retirement) It is the culmination of a long journey! If you want to read the description go to http://www.mupress.org/ and download the Spring 2016 catalog. Turn to page 6 and there it is! I can't wait to receive my first copy! I appreciate all the encouragement I have received over the past few years from my family and friends. A great big thank goes to my sweet hubby for accompanying me to countless cemeteries, battle sites and other places important for the research.  I also appreciate the Mercer University Press staff for their invaluable support during the process of writing, revising, revising and more revising not to mention the process of preparing the index! I am excited about the opportunity for a second chapter in my life! I 've shared the process of writing this book with the readers of this blog several times and I wanted you to know I actually finished it.

Downloading From A Teacher's Touch

Several times a week I receive emails requesting that I share materials that I post on my blog. It always confused me because whatever I post is shared on the web. I finally realized that many school districts won't allow you to download using their servers. My answer to this problem is to use a personal email address. You will then be able to download.
Have a great weekend!

February Smartboard Calendar





Storybots are my favorite new videos! The little guys are irresistible to my kindergarteners. Since we all need some new  videos to liven up our classrooms I've included some in the February calendar. Check out You Tube for more great Storybot videos.


P.S. Still at work on my book.

Jan 2014





Happy New Year! For those of you that read my blog, you might remember that I've been working on a book about my great great grandfather based on his civil war letters. I received a wonderful  gift  in December, my book is going to be published! I will be working on the last revisions for the next couple of months. So, I won't be posting quite as much.

Gingerbread CVC Word Sort


My students love to sort and write the room, so I decided to combine both their favorite activities and made a sort the room game. The good thing about this game is you can place it in your word work center as well.
