My name is Terri Eichholz, and I am a teacher in San Antonio, TX. I taught gifted students in grades K-5 for 19 years. Before that, I taught 5th grade for 8 years. Like my students, I love a challenge and I love to learn something new. I have recently taken a job in SAISD as a S.T.E.A.M. Master Teacher, and hope to have many new adventures to share this year!
Through social networking and professional development opportunities, I regularly seek new ideas for engaging my students. In return, I try to share with other educators anything that works well. My hope is that you will find this to be a helpful resource, and that you will feel free to contribute your own ideas as well. I also work as a freelance writer and consultant. You can contact me at engagetheirminds@gmail.com or tweet @terrieichholz.
Terri, thank you so much for sharing this resource! I agree that teachers as well as parents can gain insight from the collected essays.
Very cool, brand new to wordpress, but I have a feeling I’ll be enjoying your content.
love your site- would love to chat with you sometime ! I am a retired educator who has begun an eduational nonprofit after seeing the need to customize learning for some K-2nd grade primary school children before they get discouraged with school (at such a young age !!!) Jeannie in Georgia
Hi Terry,
I was surprised to see a bulletin board that I made in college on your blog! I am glad that you like it! I am eager to try some of the items on your website as well! Thanks for the support!
Hi Terri,
We’d like to share some of your inspirational blog posts with our UK readers on Innovate My School (http://www.innovatemyschool.com). Please contact me if you are interested.
Thanks

Hey – you need to submit a presentation for iPad Palooza this year to showcase all of your GT iPad projects – http://ipadpalooza.com/2012/10/26/ipadpalooza-call-for-ipresenters-now-live/
Thanks! I’ll have to think about that… BTW, thanks, too, for the stats boost you gave me when you “pinned” me today! 😉
Terri,
I absolutely love your ideas and postings, and I look forward to reading them every day. I have gifted 1st through 8th and three schools, so I think our circumstances are similar. Many of your offerings have saved me and inspired me. Please know how very much I appreciate you and what you do.

Wow! Thank you so much! If you ever have any ideas to offer, I would love to hear them!
Extremely good content, I had previously entered a few comments, and always hope to inspire others. I looked for a few seconds to email direct.
If that does not happen, it’s not an issue – maybe you can find me?
My email is engagetheirminds@gmail.com
