About Me

Hello! My name is Mrs. Murley. I am a graduate from Clarke University with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Elementary Education with a Reading and Coaching Endorsement. I have finished my student teaching experience at Resurrection Elementary in the kindergarten and third grade classroom. I have been teaching at St. Mary Immaculate Conception since 2009 in the Kindergarten classroom. I recently accepted a job working at Resurrection where I student taught in the Kindergarten classroom. I LOVE teaching kindergarten. It is a true passion of mine. I have a strong passion and eagerness to teach young children to become proficient and independent learners. I continue to strive to incorporate technology into the classroom. I believe technology gives students the building block to succeed in this technological driven society at a young age. We do so much in our classroom throughout the year with Ipads, Mimios, Clickers, and Flip Videos to develop our young learners. The students become successful, independent learners with all these devices and they enjoy learning with them.

Kindergarten creating their own books






The kindergarten students have also been working really hard with myself and Mrs. Gail on our Studentreasure books. This company Studentreasures sends all the material for us to become authors and illustrators to our own book. For Pre-K through 2nd we work on one class book so all the parents have to purchase their own books. However, from 3rd on up, the students create their own book to be published and they get to keep their first original copy. It is a cool process!!
Here are some of the pages we have in our book. We have only gotten through the writing part of "If I were a teacher..." The students will become illustrators for their page. Then we will begin working on part two "If I could pick a fun way to get to school I would..."
