Here We Go...

I have actively read blogs for the past several years, all sorts of blogs: personal, family, teacher blogs. I have tried at various times to start a personal blog or I set up a student teaching blog, but nothing serious ever came out of the previous blogs.

But, I graduated from college in December 2010. I taught Kindergarten for a semester, and now I am going to a new school to teach third grade. I am BEYOND excited. In my excitement, I literally stalk all kinds of teacher blogs. I think I find a new one every day. I think that it is a FANTASTIC way to see what other people are doing in their classrooms, gather ideas, and share information. Its so encouraging and is keeping me energized as I am preparing my classroom for the new school year!

Another vision that I have for this blog is a place to communicate to parents and others about some of the learning that goes on in the classroom when the school year starts. I thought that I might have guest student bloggers that could blog about projects or units of study. I thought I might post pictures of learning, or even post spelling and vocabulary words on their own page. I am not sure how this aspect of the blog is going to work out, but I figured that I better get started on the first part of just teacher blogging.


I am really excited to start though! Tomorrow I am going to finish going through all of my Kindergarten things, and see what I can use for third grade. Maybe this will give me something exciting to post about!
