About+Mrs.+Smith

I live in Buhler with my husband, Troy, and our 3-year-old son, Tate. In April we will have a new baby joining our family which will cause me to miss the last 6 weeks of school this year. We are so excited about our new addition and time we will get to spend with both of the boys.

I graduated from the University of Kansas in 2003 with a degree in elementary education and a masters degree in special education. I started my teaching career with RCEC in a K-2 adaptive special education classroom, moved to BGS in a 3-6 special ed. class, and then transferred to 4th grade in 2007. In 2008 I went back to school to receive a license to become an administrator. My educational journey has been very fulfilling and has taken me down many different paths - each with its own interesting twists and turns.

My husband, Troy, teaches middle school social studies in Burrton USD 369. He enjoys coaching golf during the spring months and also helps out with technology in the district.

Tate is an energetic 3-year-old. He loves to watch movies, play pirates, visit his grandparents, and pretend with his friends. He will be starting preschool at BGS next year.

I love to travel, read, and scrapbook online. My favorite online scrapbooking site is [|mixbook.com] - it has great templates and a user friendly interface. Best of all - it's FREE to use and you can choose the format of your end product and order accordingly. Being part of a TRC grant has allowed students to experience many different technology related projects and learning opportunities as well as stretched my horizons as a teacher and challenged me to integrate meaningful technology experiences into the daily curriculum.
