WOW! I can hardly believe it's actually been almost 3 1/2 years since my last blog post! Way back in 2016, I finally caved to the notion that I was NOT actually Superwoman and began prioritizing and minimizing in order to best meet the needs of my family. That basically meant, my plate was overflowing and something had to go! I had no idea that decision would lead to crickets hanging out here.......until now, BUT......you know what? The break was needed and greatly appreciated.
I also loved first grade, but longed for more...for something different...
.....so I changed grade levels. I taught 2nd, taught fourth (and loved it too), then moved out of the classroom to impact more students through instructional coaching. That brings us to NOW! Still learning, still growing...
The kids have grown; I've earned a master's degree and nooooow, now.....I'm ready to dive back into A+ Firsties!
While I'm no longer focused solely on 1st grade, I'm still in love with all things literacy, student centered learning and a genuine love of teaching. I hope you'll visit again soon....it's good to be back and we've got a lot of catching up to do!
See you soon!
