About Me....

Hi and thank you for dropping by to visit my homepage. I am Tenn_Teach, a 44 year old teacher from Memphis ,Tennessee. I have been a teacher with Memphis City Schools for 22 years and the past 19 of those years have been spent on an incredible adventure teaching first graders. I love teaching young children. There are no words to describe the feeling I get when one of my students reads for the first time. There is no more humbling feeling than the one I get when a child looks at me with such trust that I will teach him or her everything that needs to be learned. Where else can one go to work and have their clients greet them with hugs and smiles in the morning? Where else can one gain such pleasure from a crayon drawing with the words " I love my teacher."? To teach is to touch a life forever!

More About Tenn_Teach

I have a wonderful hubby and 3 stepkiddies. Well, they're not such kiddies anymore. We are all the pets of a 11 year old, black and white, blue eyed Siberian Husky named Khan and 4 year old Miko, a Chow/Golden Retriever mix. Click the huskies to see Khan's Homepage.

We are garage sale fanatics! Every weekend we hit the garage sale circuit looking for good deals on collectibles. I have become very interested in Ebay... We have discovered a great thing:"If you auction it..someone, somewhere will bid on it!" Garage sales are a wonderful resource for teachers, too. I have created a classroom library with tons of books. I get lots of good center stuff at garage sales , too. Click the button to see if your junk could be another's treasure!
