As a veteran teacher with degrees in both elementary education and journalism, you might think a blog would be the perfect place for me to satisfy both of my passions: writing AND teaching. I'll have to admit that as secretly excited as I am to begin this blog, I had some serious writer's block and anxiety about beginning one. Where do I begin? How do I organize this thing? What if nobody reads it? (or worse yet-what if somebody does?!)
I think my fears have been mostly put to rest after spending a considerable amount of time reading and learning from the wonderful teacher blogging community. Everybody is so friendly and the sharing and collaboration is amazing!
How will I contribute? What will I post about? I hope to share my perspective while co-teaching fourth and fifth grade-an exchange of ideas and strategies that make learning fun. (for both the teachers and the students) Most of what I post will pertain to the age group I teach, but should also have application at almost any grade level. I always say that education is a constant recycling and revamping of ideas. Everything I have learned has been inspired by the great teaching around me and the talented teachers I know-I just put my twist on it.
I can't wait to get started! Welcome to the Jungle!
