Welcome

[Mark Campoli]

Welcome to our group. Please take a moment to introduce yourself to
the group.

[Erin Harris]

I'm Erin Harris from Sanders Intermediate. I hope to use this week to
build my arsenal of strategies for teaching science. I am moving into
my first year of teaching 5th grade and I'll take all the help I can
get!

[Tracy Raymond]

My name is Tracy and I am starting my 8th year of teaching, my second
year at Big Shanty Intermediate School, and my 4th year teaching 5th
grade. I have both my bachelor's and master's from KSU and I live in
Hiram with a cat and a new puppy. We are currently trying to convince
the cat that the dog just wants to play and that she is, in fact, a
dog and not some strange creature from the Black Lagoon. ;-)

[Erin Thompson]

I teach at Rocky Mount ... I live in Canton but I am originally from
Peachtree City. I am married to Mike and we have 2 little boys - Jack
2 1/2 and Luke 4 months. I am hoping to learn some really cool tech
stuff over the next couple of days that I can use in my classroom. We
are lucky enough to have SMART boards so using technology in my
classroom is more do-able than ever!

Good afternoon! I currently teach science on a daily rotation at
Chalker....I've enjoyed what we have worked on so far and have had a
blast with the 'girls' in my group...they keep a smile on my face....I
would really like to learn how to bring more/applicable technology
into the classroom...primarily how to use the smartboard for almost
everything!

Hi, my name is Katy and I am a 5th grade teacher at Sanders
Elementary. This year is my 6th year teacher but my second in
Georgia. I am originally from New York and this school year I will be
teaching an all boys classroom and think it will be a very interesting
and entertaining year. I would like to integrate more technology to
my instructional practices so I hope to learn how I can do that from
this workshop.

My name is Diane Cordova. I teach 5th grade math and science at
Eastvalley Elementary School. This coming year will be my 8th year
at EV. I taught 9 years in the Milwaukee Public Schools in the inner
city and then stayed home with my children for 7 years. I'm hoping to
get techniques and ideas to improve how I teach science and some
math. I would like ways to make it more meaningful to my students.

[Bre Peeler Sanders]

Hello!
I'm Bre and I'm the Academic Coach at Riverside Intermediate School.
An Academic Coach is the math, science, literacy, social studies, and
staff development coach all rolled-up into one!! I would like to be
able to bring back strategies and lessons to the 4th and 5th grade
teachers at my school. I feel as though science has fallen to the
bottom of the priority list (CRCT, literacy, math...science) and I
want to provide practical ways for teachers to integrate the
curriculum while engaging students. GO TEAM!!

I am Jim Caswell. I teach at Due West Elementary. This is my second
year there, but my tenth year with CCSD. I spent the first 8 years at
Nicholson Elementary. Teaching is my second career, the first being
broadcasting (television, video, advertising). I am really not sure
what to expect to "get out" of these sessions. My abilities to make
science interesting and incorporate technology are limited so I hope
to become more knowledgeable(sp?) in both areas. I am looking forward
to whatever learning opportunities I receive throughtout the next
couple of years. I do love working on computers, but find that I talk
myself out of incorporating technology due to "time constraints." Good
excuse, eh? I want and need to work past that.

Hey Roxanne, Thanks for sharing all your contacts and info about
$300.00 grants. I look forward to applying for that and getting
funding to go on the Stone Mountain field trip. Thanks, Diane

[Katy Laine]

Hi, my name is Katy, I wondered since you are not a native of
Georgia. What do you think of the differences between teaching in
Milwaukee and Georgia?

[Erin Thompson]

Academic Coach sounds like a really cool position. Is that common
throughout the county? How long have you been doing it? It almost
sounds like what the old ILT position used to be.

[Stacy Pitts]

Hi Leila! I'm happy to be here as well. I think we've learned some
valuable things that we can incorporate into our classrooms.

[Roxanne]

Hi John,
I think you will enjoy teaching 5th grade. Two years ago, I moved from
3rd to 5th, and the biggest adjustment was the new curriculum.
Fortunately, I had a great team that was willing to share.
Good Luck,
Roxanne

Welcom, Kahliah, to the show. What's on your mind and what song can I

You are welcome. Don't forget to do the grant.

I am Kristina Longyear I teach math and science to two classes in
fifth grade. I teach at Garrison Mill, this will be my 10th year
teaching, 4th at GM and 6 others in private school. I have 2 middle
schoolers and a black lab named Dixie. I am looking forward to
starting school!

[Cara Tucker]

Congratulations on beginning your 10th year of teaching! We definitely
need stability and consistency in the area of education! I come from a
military background minus all of the moving from place to place
growing up. An old friend of mine was stationed at Lackland AFB. My
brother is currently deployed to Afghanistan for the ARMY. Hopefully
your son will not have to deploy. It seems like you have a wonderful
family and I am happy for you!

[Robin Adkins]

Girl, you do not have to be ready right now. But, I would get my head
together by the 11th until then have a margarita!
