Kemah Boardwalk





Molli and Emilee came to visit us in Huffman for a couple of days. Yesterday we went to Kemah and enjoyed the boardwalk. We decided to ride the Boardwalk BEAST. It was a 25 minute speedboat ride. The ticket guy said it would get you a little wet. As you can see from the pictures a little wet means COMPLETELY SOAKED!!! It was really fun :)

Teacher Website


I saw a need for a website that was very helpful for educators and the use of technology in the classroom. When I was looking for a website for teachers I came across Education World’s Technology Integration. This website gives educators many choices when looking for a good place to find new and innovative ways to incorporate technology into the elementary classroom. Teachers can go to this website and find articles about new technology from professional technology specialist. Technology Integration includes resources for teachers to use with the students in your classroom. Classrooms are full of children that are eager to learn the newest technology and the Teacher’s World Technology Integration website allows teachers a variety of resources to engage students in a full view of technology. When working with this website, I found it easy to maneuver around the site and user friendly for even people that are challenge with technology. The best part about This website is that is it free! Teachers can use the entire website with no cost or sign up. Administrators can use this website to encourage their staff to enhance their technology in the classroom. They can show their teachers this site during staff development and encourage them to use it to help them as they prepare their classrooms for the current technology available. The 21st century learner will benefit from teachers using this website because it will enhance the teacher’s technology base and allow students to have technology in their everyday lives. The 21st century learner will be more technologically advanced than the teachers that are teaching them. It is important for the teachers to stay up to date with the current technology available.

Huffman... We are here!




We have officially settled in Huffman (NorthEast Houston.) We have been to youth camp, Puerto Rico and completed VBS all within a month and a half. Life has been CRAZY. We are enjoying meeting all of the church members and look forward to finding a house very soon. Here are some pictures from this summer!!
