Teacher and Author, Laura English, posted a little ditty about yours truly on her blog, Expressing Myself, and I thought I would post it here. If you would like to actually see the photos of her cards, then follow this link: http://lenglish07.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/more-kindergarten-ideas/

"From a forum that I joined on lulu.com another teacher shared her blog:
http://www.kindergartenkaraoke.blogspot.com. She shares her ideas of what she does in her kindergarten classroom. Well I really liked how she uses the free products you can get from vista.com. So I decided to use one of her ideas as well as come up with one on my own. I used the 250 free business to make a discipline card (idea thanks to the blog above) and then I used the 100 free postcards to send home to the parents to let them know during a certain nine weeks what their child is having trouble learning so they can help them at home. So for those products I only spent $8.50 on shipping. So not bad!
So I am excited to have found this other teacher’s blog to give me these fabulous ideas! I think it’s great when teachers put their ideas out there so that others can view what they have done and utilize it in their classroom setting if it pertains to them. It truly is fantastic and I definitely love to share!"
Right back atcha, Babe!

What's up with that name? Allow me to explain. Teaching Kindergarten is a lot like open mike night at a karaoke bar. Lectures just don't cut it. Kindergarten teachers must have star quality. They are entertainers as much as they are educators. They are edutainers.
Who are you? And why should I listen to you?
My name is Jay, and I am the webmistress of Kindergarten Karaoke. Currently, I teach Kindergarten in a small, rural school district in East Texas. I have a bachelor's degree in English Literature from the University of Texas and Elementary Teaching certification from the prestigious LeTourneau University. While attending there, I worked closely with my professors to present a Young Writers conference in Lufkin, Texas. At the conference, I presented a workshop to 1st and 2nd graders on creating pop-up books. In the next room, Legendary Author, John Archambeault (Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom) presented a workshop to 2nd and 3rd graders on keeping a writing journal. I had the privilege of eating lunch with him and talking to him about children's book market and his works-in-progress. I only hope that some of his greatness rubbed off on me, as I am trying to make a career of writing children's literature.
I am also the mother of two beautiful and intelligent daughters. See picture below. As you can see, my life is full of love and words...in that order. Thank you so much for visiting my blog.
