Edutechable

My name is Crystal Stephens and I have an addiction to school supplies and books.  Admitting the problem is the first step to solving it, but seriously...I have ALWAYS wanted to be a teacher since I first started school and fell in love with my teacher and the way she checked off her lists and kept things in her “magical” notebook.  Now I have way too many lists to check and more magical notebooks than I care to speak of, but I love love love teaching and couldn’t imagine doing anything else.  I earned a BS in Elementary Education from Gardner-Webb University in 1996, my Masters in Elementary Education from GWU in 1999 and my Masters of School Administration from ASU in 2003.  I have been an elementary school teacher for 29+ years-- teaching 7 years in 2nd grade, 8 years in 5th grade and 12 years in first grade with 4 years of virtual teaching thrown in the mix. I don’t really have a favorite… I have enjoyed them all. There are fun and exciting things about every grade.
