Well...here we go again. I have such high hopes sometimes. I really thought I could keep an awesome blog my first year as a teacher. Surprise, suprise it didn't work out. Kudos to any teacher who has survived their first year and wrote a blog all about it. I had a great first year, but it took a lot out of me. 70 hour weeks to be precise.
I am now entering my third year of teaching. My first year I taught fourth grade. I was fortunate enough to loop up with my wonderful kiddos. I taught them fifth grade and had a baby last year. (You guessed it...I didn't even TRY to start a blog.) Now, I am staying in fifth grade.
I teach reading and writing at an inner-city school. Like 99% on free lunches inner-city. I love it. I love my students and my job. I love my school. Basically, I love teaching and teaching seems to love me. I am the Head of the Literacy Department at my school. I hope to share my successes and resources this year.
Outside of school, I am a wife and a new mommy. I have been married for over 2 years and have a 6 month old boy. For me, life is amazing. Hopefully I can share some of that awesomeness here. So...here goes nothing.
