Welcome to Linda's Learning Links, a web site for teachers and parents of young children. My name is Linda McCardle. I am a kindergarten teacher at Mathew's Elementary School in Columbus, Ga.  I am starting my twentieth year at Mathews. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to teach here with a wonderful faculty and a very special principal, Mrs. Dianne Sharpe. The parents at Mathews are incredible; they are supportive, generous and just the best!
     I have  two wonderful children, a grandson and three grand daughters.  My daughter Joy is a fellow teacher, so you can imagine what our conversations center around. 
     I developed my web site to share my philosophy and ideas concerning the teaching of young children. I am also very interested in technology and wanted to share ideas that I use in my classroom with fellow teachers.
    I hope that you will find ideas to use in your classroom and that you'll share your ideas with me. I'd love to hear from you with suggestions on what you'd like to see and ways that I can improve my web site.  If you would like to know when I update my web site, email me and I'll put you on my update email list.
