I started this blog as a graduate school project and then went on with my life. Much has changed since I tried the first time. Now after reading and following other teacher blogs and the awesomeness that is Pinterest, I have learned to keep it simple! This is my second year teaching 5th grade (sorta). Last year I was hired as Title 1 reading teacher by the district I actually live in.
For a variety of reasons a teacher left teaching at the end of October. I had been in that classroom helping out. I volunteered to step in as a long-term sub and then I accepted the class full-time. What a transition! I had Meet the Teacher/Open House in November! So this is actually my first, first 9 weeks as a 5th grade teacher. I hoping that some fellow teachers will share the journey with me. I need to learn maybe more than I need to teach or share. Right now I am passionate about building a learning community both in my classroom and through social media. What are you passionate about at the beginning of the school year?
