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.

What great weather we are getting here in Iowa!! I would love it if readers of this blog became "followers." There is a button on the right side of the blog that says "join this site" click and and join in on the fun!!!!

The Kindergarten students are continuing their chick process along with starting a plant unit. We just planted radishes, carrots, and onions. We use the Rootvue system which allows the students to watch the roots grow. There is a window the students can remove and see the roots below each plant. A really cool process.
The chick journal entries are really coming along great! Each day I continue to give the student key vocabulary words and they write about what happens. The children are really getting excited as we get closer to the hatching date. However, we are starting to see some blood rings which is a sign of the chicks not developing because of improper temperatures, improper disinfecting or holding eggs at temperatures above 80 degrees before incubation. Not all the eggs have blood rings so I sure it is not improper temperatures.

Here are the entries from yesterday.
