About Me: I teach kindergarten at a Title I school in Louisiana. I started teaching in 1973. Whoa! I really don't relate to those first nine years of teaching. I did have a wonderful time teaching at Keystone School in San Antonio, Texas. The other years were in public school in Louisiana and S.A., Texas. The next eight years were dedicated to being a stay at home Mom. We all went to preschool together and had many wonderful bonding experiences. When the kids were all in school in 1990, I went back to teaching full time. I found lots of changes with the influence of theorists, the children's book explosion, and the pendulum in full swing influencing and dictating ideas on how to teach reading.

Now, here I am in 2008. I'm an avid fan and progressive advocate of educational computer technology. I am totally immersed in Web 2.0. I give my students safe surfing privileges on the Internet. Kids today must be allowed to satisfy their needs to construct their own knowledge through investigative Internet usage.

My newest blog is http://marthahayes.blogspot.com/. Through the summer, I'll be there daily.
