Ashleigh's Education Journey

Hi everyone!  I'm Ashleigh from Ashleigh's Education Journey!
I'm so excited to be a part of this awesome group of second and third grade bloggers!  It's pretty much like having all of my favorites grouped together in one place.  You just can't beat that!

I'd like to take just a few minutes to introduce myself to those of you who don't "know" me.  I'm a wife and mom of two beautiful children.  My daughter is four and is starting PreK this year {sniff, sniff} and my son is 9-months old and literally into everything.  They keep me busy, and I'm still trying to learn how to balance being wife, mom, teacher, blogger, and TpTer.  Let's just say it's a good thing I don't require much sleep!
I graduated from Florida State University with my B.S. in Elementary Education.  I've later gone back to school for my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction and my Ed.S. in Brain Research.  This will be my 11th year teaching, and I've taught 3rd and 4th grades during those 11 years.  I absolutely love teaching and cannot imagine doing anything else!  I also love making educational materials to use in my classroom.  It's so much for me to watch a new unit come together, and it helps keep me excited about my own teaching practices.

In all of my free time {ha, ha} I love to read anything I can put my hands on.  I also enjoy anything and everything to do with water. You can put me on a beach, lake, boat, you name it, and I'm happy!  I also consider myself to be quite an expert shopper.  I try to practice regularly to perfect my craft:)

I'm happy to share with you a product that I've been working on for my own Open House that is coming much too soon.  I've always felt more than a little awkward at Open House, because I desperately want to make a good first impression with my students and their parents, but it's so hard to meet with everyone during that short window of time.  I've created this little activity to keep everyone active and engaged, as well as to relay important information.  This will also help me to spend more quality time with my students and their families.  I think it's something I'll really enjoy, and I hope you do too!  Just click on the picture for your copy.




I'd also love it if you dropped by my blog to find out more about what is going on in my classroom!  See you there!

  1. I love the idea of having a scavenger hunt on open house night! That solves the problem of everyone getting in the classroom at random times, etc. Is there any way I could get a copy that I can edit? There are several activities I would like to change based on how our school does things. If so, my email is emigreathouse@hotmail.com.
    Thank you so much for sharing. :)

  6. Thank you so very much for this freebie. In the past, our school has done Open House a couple days after school starts, so I've been able to have the kids show their parents things we've done. This year, we are changing it so it is before school starts. And you're right, it's a bit stressful. Thanks for the Scavenger Hunt which will definitely help! Sara

  7. Ashleigh,
    I love your Open House idea and your blog. I think your EDS program sounds fascinating. As a reading specialist and mother of a child with a mood disorder, I think brain research certainly can/should inform our teaching practices. After reading your bio, I don't know how you do it! Well, thanks for sharing the freebie, and best wishes with navigating all of this!

  8. Thank you so much for the Scavenger Hunt. I love it! I would also like to know if I could please get one that I could edit? There are just a couple of little changes based on out school that I would like to make it work flawlessly. Congratulations and my condolences on a Pre-ker. I know exactly how you are feeling I have my oldest daughter going into high school this year....I'm not sure when that happened because she was just a little baby last week.

  11. I absolutely love the Scavenger Hunt idea! I have been following the Owl-ways Be Inspired blog and am enjoying getting to know each of you. I will now also follow your blog. Thank you for the wonderful freebie.
    I just have a few questions. What kind of information do you include in you Welcome Back letter? I have a general one that I use but would love to see yours if your are willing to share. And, what special treat do you usually give your students?

    Also if you can send me an editable version, I would really appreciate it. There are just some minor changes that I would like to make to fit my classroom. Once again, thank you so much and look forward to reading more of your wonderful ideas.
