As it says in my sidebar "All About Me", I am a proud graduate of Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. That is SAMford, not STamford as many mix up sometimes. :) I wanted to go to Samford since I was a little kid. It has this magical little campus that is so quaint and precious, and SO ridiculously pretty. I have many, many great memories from this incredible place. Like studying (and sometimes napping, in that library in the picture above).
I lived here. Right above that door! {This girl is a Phi Mu!}
I learned to be a teacher (all while consuming crazy amounts of coffee) here.
And, I even got married here!
Needless to say, I was SO honored and excited when I was asked to come in and share some of my classroom ideas with the future teachers at Samford! {And, if I am being totally honest, I was straight up terrified...because speaking to a room full of adults makes me a nervous wreck. For real.} They were an amazing group, and sweet enough to take a picture with me to share on the blog! Thanks, ladies! {I hope you don't think I'm a crazy woman--talking to stuffed birds named Richard and making you do sprinkler dances and such! Ha!}
Look at these rockstar future teachers!
So, many, many thanks to my newest friends over at Samford! I hope to come back again soon!!! :)

That's fun to be able to give a little back to the new crop. What a great way to give soon to be teachers a little perspective.

Those teachers are very lucky to gather your teaching wisdom! Looks like a beautiful campus. There is something so beautiful about brick buildings.

That's a pretty little campus. Small universities are nice.
I graduated from Samford in 2004! LOVED every minute of it...even Dr. Little calling my cell phone when I was out sick one day just to make sure my friends were telling the truth!

That's wonderful! I was a teacher at my university in October to teach future teachers, too. I hope you had fun!

I toured Samford, since it was only about 2.5 hours from home, but ultimately wound up in another state...Where I was a Phi Mu as well!
I love your blog! It is totally cute! I was a Delta Zeta at Ashland Universtiy in Ohio and loved it! I am new to the blogging world come check out my freebie! http://megbarnes.blogspot.com/
I graduated from Samford in 2009 and I was a Phi Mu!I was just back visiting some of my best friends in Birmingham this past weekend!
Dr. Little was my one of my favorite professors while I was there too!
That is awesome! I know you inspired them all! I wish I could of been there to hear you! You rock! :0)
She did "rock"! We were so proud to have such an amazing teacher as a graduate of our program! Our future teachers have been following her blog and several of them requested that we have her visit. What a treat! Thanks Sarah for blessing us on Friday!

I love your cute graphics. What program do you use to make them. I would really like to make my own graphics too. But I have no idea where to start. Can you help me?
Thanks Rikki! I bought a bamboo tablet, and use photoshop elements to digitally color my art. I just draw my image, scan it in to the computer, and use the photoshop program from there!
What a fabulous experience and honour for you, Sarah! I have been asked to do the same next month at my University ... I am so nervous :S Wish I had your calm nerves!!I love the photo of you with all the rockstar future teachers ... it looked like it was a fun day:) Thanks for sharing!!

Good Morning Mrs Rubie
Dear Sarah, I rushed up to 4th floor last week before 10:00 to visit with you but, alas, you were gone. I know you are an outstanding teacher and a wonderful, beautiful wife. You will always be one of my all-time favorite students at Samford!!
Dr. Little
Love your blog and it was a BONUS finding out you are a Phi Mu too! I loved my Phi Mu days at FSU! Have a great end of the year. :)
What an awesome experience. I am in the last week of classes at my university and then onto student teaching. There is nothing I love more than other teachers coming in to share their experiences and about their classroom. So inspiring.
