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!

It starts at home πŸ–€πŸ€ŽπŸ€ Did some coloring It starts at home πŸ–€πŸ€ŽπŸ€

Did some coloring with my girl today using Bellen's @morethanpeachproject crayons.

We talked about the different shades of peach and brown that we were using. We found crayons to match our skin and the skin color of Doc McStuffins on the shirt she was wearing today. The reaction from her was "oooooh look at all the browns!!" 🀎

Today is a great day to support Black-owned businesses. If you haven't seen these crayons before, please go visit Bellen's page and check them out.

I wrote the letters on sticker dots and had her match the lowercase letters to uppercase letters.

One of our go to activities the past week has been our Hanukkah sensory bin. I used blue rice, cookie cutters, dreidels, and added a few pom poms for a different texture.
