Welcome to NCAEE - It's Elementary!

Welcome to the North Carolina Association of Elementary Educators blog! This is our first official blog post using our brand new blog name. A few weeks ago we launched our blog and announced a Name the Blog contest to help us find the perfect name. We had over 80 entries, but one name in particular stood out above the rest. "NCAEE - It's Elementary!" immediately captured our attention because it's short, snappy, and it fits our organization perfectly. Our mission is to serve elementary educators and students across the state, and we hope this blog will become a place where educators can connect and share ideas. Please visit our website at www.ncelementary.org to learn more about us and what we have to offer NC teachers.

Thanks to Diann Baer for submitting the winning blog title. Diann is a 4th grade teacher in Grandville, Michigan. She loves teaching 4th grade and actually decided to become a 4th grade teacher when she was in 4th grade...and she started teaching in her old 4th grade classroom. Sounds like destiny to me! Diann won a $25 gift card to Amazon.com for her inspiration. We would love for her to visit us this fall and attend our Elementary School Conference. She would definitely be an honored guest!
