Welcome to My New Bloggy Space!

Hello everyone!  I'm Rebecca, and this is my new teaching blog.  Actually, I have been blogging for four years on Our Back Porch, my personal blog.  So if you enjoy decorating with vintage/antique finds, stop by for a visit!

I have had a teacher site for 6 years, Alpha Apple, so perhaps you have stopped by there before.  However, since I love to blog, I decided to get this party started at The Teacher's Chatterbox.

When I got started creating Alpha Apple, I fell in love with pixel graphics!  So much so, that I began learning about making tubes.  I then started drawing lineart for others to create tubes.  I found a talent that I didn't know existed, and a huge passion for it as well.  So I opened Whimsical Beginnings, my pixel membership website five years ago.

 Teaching is my biggest passion!  Actually, it is my calling in life!  Previously, I taught preschool for nine years.  When my last child started kindergarten, I headed back to school.  I got my degree in Elementary Ed. and got a job teaching 3rd grade immediately upon graduation.  Thank Goodness ! Then, in my second year of teaching, I went back to get my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction.  I am now in my fourteenth year in third grade.

Our old dilapidated school building had run it's course, and a new school has been built.  Last year was quite the experience as the new school was going up behind our old school.  Construction was Kuh-RaZy!!!!!  But we made it, and this is our first year in our brand new GREEN school!  It is so awesome!

I have met so many wonderful people through blogging that share my love for decorating with vintage/antique finds.  I know I am going to be so blessed by meeting many more bloggers who share my passion for teaching our children.  I'm so excited to be starting this new venture. 

There are others that have just begun their blog.  Head over to Teaching Blog Addict, who so kindly has welcomed us newbies, and let us link up so others could find us.  A BIG thank you to her!!!

Thank you for stopping by my blog. 

Until our next chat,

Perhaps You Know Me Already...

I'm no stranger to Blog Land, and definitely not to the internet world!  Actually, I have been blogging for almost four years over on Our Back Porch. If you enjoy decorating with wonderful vintage finds then you might want to stop by there and take a peek.  For almost six years, I have been creating online teacher goodies at Alpha Apple {my very first ever website that's still going!}  Maybe you've even seen the graphics that I create at Whimsical Beginnings.  Or maybe you hang out at ProTeacher too, and share lots of ideas with other teachers.  {My screen name is Becca4}.  So perhaps you know me already.  If not, I hope we can get to know each other through my new teaching blog, The Teacher's Chatterbox. 

 Thanks for stopping by!
