Why lil Mop Top? Well, being that I have super curly hair, my loving husband turned to me one night (after a few adult beverages) and said 'Can I or can I not turn you upside down and use your head as a mop?'. It is like he is Shakespeare or something! So, my first blog was called Mop Top 3.0. When I started this blog, it was leaning towards baby crafts so I called it lil Mop Top.
What in the world can you find on this blog?! I share my crafty ideas, tutorials, homeschooling adventures, and some random family stuff. I love trying new things and love sharing how I did it. I have recently started to kind of homeschool John for preschool. I am almost afraid to say homeschool because it sounds so serious and we only do it for about 30-45 4 days a week. But I love planning for it and get excited when John learns new things (guess it is the teacher in me!).
Teaching Thursdays A new edition to lil Mop Top is Teaching Thursdays. Every Thursday I am sharing some of my favorite games, activities, lessons, and ideas from when I was teaching Algebra I, Algebra II, and Math Models. I hope to inspire other teachers to try new ways to engage their students. I was ALWAYS searching the internet and using blogs to find new ways to present information when I was teaching, so hopefully this will be helpful to other teachers out there.
I hope you enjoy reading some of my posts! Please feel free to comment or email me at any time!
