About


Welcome to The Teaching Lounge. I am so glad you found my site and I hope you will stay and take a look around. My site is dedicated to those looking for ideas to use in their classrooms or at home. If you are looking for those extra new, fresh ideas I hope that you can find them here. If you are looking for extras to use for practice at home with your child I sure hope my site will help you. I spent a lot of time last semester writing lesson plans and searching for some new ideas and I am hoping to make a contribution to the cycle. I am firm believer that education does not just happen in the classroom and that family at home is a great contributor to a child’s success in school.

I am using this site to help me keep a record of my lesson plans and activities and am hoping to help others as well. On my site you will find lesson plans, activities for use at home and at school, some art and crafts and some informational posts or “how to” posts.
