Hey all! I’m Elyse blogging from A is for Apples. I am a Florida native who loves reading, the Florida Gators, and watching TV. I went to the University of Florida and graduated with my Master of Education in 2008. I worked for UF for a year on a multidisciplinary team, taught Kindergarten in Gainesville for 3 years, and now I’m in my 3rd year teaching in the Tampa area.



I have been married to my hubby, Shawn, for a year and a half. We have an amazing dog, Sadie, who is actually the true love of my life! Shawn is a life/business coach and consultant so he’s a big positive influence in my life. You’ll see me quote him at times which I refer to as my “Shawn-isms.”



My true love!!!

We’re so opposite!! He’s strictly a vanilla guy and I won’t touch it unless it’s at least 75% chocolate (Why waste the calories if it isn’t?!)
At least I know I’ll never have to share my dessert… (and I take my dessert very seriously!!!)
Teaching Kindergarten is something I always knew I’d do. I grew up helping my Mom in her preschool classrooms and always said I’d be a teacher, a Kindergarten teacher. When I moved to Tampa, I needed a job and had to start the year in 2nd grade. After winter break, I happily moved back to Kindergarten which is where I knew I belonged! I love creating activities for my Kinder kiddos and watching them as they learn and grow!


I just have to share my new favorite shirt!
(Except you probably do understand which is why I love blogging and sharing my teacher world with you all!)
To celebrate our new collaborative adventure, The Primary Pack is hosting a giveaway with tons of fabulous prizes!

We received a new @playosmo game this week and she We received a new @playosmo game this week and she couldn't wait to try it out!! ๐Ÿ•

Pizza Co. practices math skills like: one-to-one correspondence, subtraction, money, and fractions. I absolutely LOVE that we get to work on basic subtraction and fractions (put toppings on half of the pie). Another thing I LOVE about this game is that I'm able to put it on junior mode so she can do most of it with just a little assistance.

This is going to be a favorite game for a long time!!
