Welcome! I Love Math and Teaching at KMS! Thanks to all the parents who made Field Day a success! All library books were due Thursday, May 10. All textbooks were due Friday, May 11. Good, better, best Never let it rest, 'Til your good is better And your better best. Students should have corrected graded math homework and math projects and resubmitted them to improve their second semester grade. Math extra credit was due Monday, May 7. Math corrections for math assigned in January and February except for the Tangram projects were due Tuesday, May 8. Math corrections for math assigned in March and April were due Friday, May 11. Final corrections on both tangram-related projects were due Friday, May 11. I have my BS and MEd in Mathematics for Elementary School from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) in Indiana, PA.  I was certified to teach in PA and taught third, fifth and sixth grade there for many years before moving to GA to be with my husband who had been transferred here. I am certified to teach Pre-K through 8th grade in GA.  In addition to math I'm certified to teach Language Arts, Science and Social Studies in GA.  In PA I was also certified to teach elementary music, art, health and PE. I have also received my gifted in-field certification in GA.  I am also a certfied American Red Cross First Aid and CPR instructor and a certified Teacher Master Gardener.  Since I was born in Pittsburgh, I am a Steeler fan.   I'm a grandmother again!  Vivian Kathleen was born Dec. 17. She is 4 months old. Sadie Rose Rudert was 3 on January 20.  She loves her little sister.  Her vocabulary is expanding. She is very polite and remembers to say please, thank you and you're welcome. She loves books and memorizes them.  She has a desk where she does her "homework". She loves to cut hair (pretend) and to be a hairdresser.  She likes to pretend with her dolls and serve pretend food. She is a very attentive "mother" mimicing what she sees her parents do with her little sister. She enjoys blowing bubbles, watching Elmo on Sesame Street and finger plays. She loves to dance and jump on her trampoline which has handles she holds to keep her safe.  She has moved into her big girl room and bed so Vivi can be in the nursery.   The girls and their parents live in North Carolina.     This website was last updated on Tuesday, May 15, 2012.
