Welcome to THE CONTROLLED CHAOS CLASSROOM!

Welcome to The Controlled Chaos Classroom.  I am so excited to begin our new school year.  I hope you find this blog informational and a fun way to keep up with your child's weekly activities.  I blog about our math stations, literacy station, and any other fun things we are doing. Usually I ask my daughters what they did at school and they say, "Nothing.", "I don't know!", or "We had snack, lunch, and went to recess!".  It drives me crazy.  I know they do more and when I ask more specific questions, it sparks their memory.  My hope is that this helps you be able to ask more specific questions to your child and be able to have great conversations with them about school. 

I moved to Georgia after college to begin my teaching career.  I have been teaching in the public school system for the past 11 years. I graduated from the Jacksonville State University in Alabama with my undergraduate degree and my Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education.  I also attended Piedmont College where I earned my Educational Specialist Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  I taught 1st grade for 6 years, in the Early Intervention Program (EIP) for a year and am beginning my 5th year teaching Kindergarten.  Last year I was named the Teacher of the Year for Dugan Elementary.  I have been married for ten years and have two daughters.  My oldest daughter will be in third grade and my youngest daughter will be in first grade.

I am looking forward to sharing my Controlled Chaos with you!
