Hi Friends!
So... I really enjoy "borrowing" ideas from other teachers.  Isn't that what teachers are supposed to do?? I could spend hours {stalking} blogs.  Mr. Husband just doesn't get it either!  After 10+ years of teaching, he just shakes his head.  A few of the places I get inspired from:


Chalk Talk

The First Grade Parade
And did I mention how super duper excited I am that Cara Carroll from the First Grade Parade is teaching Kindergarten this year!  She is my hero!  I L*O*V*E everything she does!  How great would it be to be a kid in HER class?!?!

There are so many more I love... thanks to all you great teachers, creative thinkers, inspirations out there!

Hello Blogging World!

Hello friends! My name is Dana Starck and I teach KINDERGARTEN! And can I say.... I L-O-V-E my job! I'm pretty new to the blogging world (or should I say new to having my own blog)! I am a "blog stalker" and I am truly inspired by all of the wonderful teaching blogs out there!

A huge thank you to Honey Bunch Blog Designs for helping me out! What a wonderful way to enter into the blogging world with the perfect blog design! I highly recommend using them if you are wanting to update or design a blog! And the illustrations by MelonHeadz Illustrating.... I am obsessed with her stuff!  Nikki (from MelonHeadz) has been giving away FREE holiday doodles.... each day has been a new doodle.  Check it out before they are all gone.  Some people have ALL the talent.... and creating the most adorable clip art is not my talent :) !

I hope that my blog will touch classrooms all over - just as so many blogs have touched my classroom.   Stay tuned..... more to come!
