WELCOME!

Welcome to my blog.

This is my first attempt at ever creating a blog and I am excited and yet very nervous. I want to use more technology in my classroom and this is a great way to learn something that will help my students and their parents during the school year. I am trying to make my classroom more parent friendly for working parents that cannot come to school events by posting pictures and updates on things occurring in the class or at school. I think a blog may be the perfect way to start this school year for my 25 new students and their parents.


About me:

My name is Danielle Ball. This is my 5th college degree and probably my last. My family says I am addicted to college. I tell them I am addicted to learning new things. My other degrees all vary from chemistry to an MBA to my Ed.S. There is no pattern to my learning but I have enjoyed each degree I've earned.

My husband and I have 2 children. My daughter is 13 and cheers on her high school cheer team and on a competition cheer team. I spend many hours at cheer practice or cheer events with her. My  son is all into anything involving the outdoors. If it is in season - he is hunting that animal. If nothing is on season, he is outside practicing target practice to improve his aim or technique.

I am excited to learn more about using a blog. This blog will be a work in progress but how can one learn without trying new things and making improvements as we learn?
