Braley- I love the aesthetic of your page! What's it like being homeschooled, sounds pretty cool! We are both in the home stretch of earning our degree. It hasn't been easy thats for sure.
Kerrigan-Thank you so much!! It took me all day😵💫! Homeschooling looks different for everyone, but for me, I had my grandmother as a homeschool teacher, and she was very strict; which was just what I needed to push me through high school. And I still had friends through a homeschool co-op which helped me grow socially. It was great!
~ Catherine- I wish I had a teacher like you when I was a kid! I love how you encourage student creativity
~Meghan Blowes-I love your author page, it's beautiful. My son's currently go to a Christian private school. I have thought ofter of homeschool my oldest son as he enters high school for the dual enrollment benefits. What an amazing accomplishment at 18 to have your associates degree.
~ Kiley Feight- I also struggle with being too hard on myself, and I like that you are able to admit this, its difficult! I love your idea to use music in your teaching, looking back on my own education when teachers would make short songs for remembering facts it helped a LOT!
~Doubly congratulations Kerrigan! Soon to be a teacher and with your partner by your side for this journey. I love how I can see your personality seep right through the screen. You make some essential points about structure, consistency, and following through with consequences. Children thrive on these three things. They may not like consequences, but if done correctly for the student, it could help them eliminate challenging behavior that is holding them back. You are far from alone about classroom management, everybody struggles with it at some point. My classroom management is different this year from last year because our students have completely different needs. I have a feeling that you are going to brighten a lot of your student's days with your progressive techniques and philosophies. -Kim Basilone

It is easy to see that you are getting into teaching for all the right reasons. - Lindsay McMahan
Hey Kerrigan- Keep leaning and trusting in Jesus to give you knowledge I know the holy spirit will work and be with you and it will be easy to show the love of God on your students through his Power. God Bless You - Dj Chandler
