Welcome

Welcome to Blooming in WBT!  Isn't this what we want our students to do in our classroom...BLOOM!  They can with Whole Brain Teaching!!

I have been primarily teaching elementary education for 16 years.  5 of those years are with special education mixed in!  This year, I am teaching in a small, private school in Virginia.  I only have 4 students in second grade, and I am also the special education coordinator. 

I always prided myself in being a good teacher.  This fall as I was searching the web for teaching helps, I came across a YouTube video titled "Whole Brain Teaching".  I watched it, and a whole new world was introduced to me.  It went from one video to a weekend of watching every video that I could get my hands on and scouring the whole brain teaching website.  I decided that next Monday to see if what I was watching on YouTube would really work.  What happened in my classroom sent me straight to "Teacher Heaven".  The focus, energy level, and determination of my students had made a 180 degree change. 

Join me on my WBT journey.
