Welcome to My World

Hello everyone! 


     My name is Carington Key. I am twenty years old entering my senior year at Columbia College (which is CRAZY) studying Elementary Education. When I graduate I want to teach Kindergarten, but I have absolutely no idea where. However, I didn't always know that I wanted to be a teacher. For many years I was confused and only sure about one thing: I love kids. I knew that the only way I would feel fulfilled in life was by working with children, but I debated many paths. Thankfully, once I reached Columbia College and entered the Introduction to Education course, my fate was sealed. After graduating, I intend to go to the University of Missouri and gain a masters in Teaching Reading followed potentially by a doctorate in administration  My goal is to someday become a reading specialist and eventually an elementary principal. 

      In the little spare time I have I love to read (Nicholas Sparks & Stephen King), do yoga, shop, and obsessively clean. Attached above is a picture of my amazing family. I am blessed to be the middle child of two loving and supportive parents, with two unique and quite entertaining brothers. Any chance I get, I love to go home to Kansas City and catch up on my parents latest renovation project as well as see my sweet puppy, Roxy. There is never a dull moment in my house, and that's the way I like it!

On vocabulary day students will come to school dressed as their word or in a costume that allows us to guess their word. Students will also be asked to turn in their word with the definition and their interpretation for vocabulary day. If my word was decedent, I would come to school in a crazy costume like a pizza costume and allow students to guess before providing them my word and definition. #2 Game Show      Learning vocabulary consists of so much more than simply sitting behind a dictionary. In order for students to truly learn a word, we must teach them how to use it. Students should be able to define the  word, find a synonym or antonym, or
