Just getting started...


Honestly, I have started a blog before. I typed and erased and retyped and erased and ultimately deleted the whole thing. Why? Because who would want to read the thoughts and ideas of a 2nd year teacher? Why was I important enough to post something for others to see. 

It's only been 4 years since then but I have taken in so much. One of the most important things I have learned in education is to listen to the ideas and suggestions of everyone. Sometimes the best ideas come from the new teacher and not the teacher who has been there for 20+ years. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing better than an experienced teacher but our kids are constantly changing and our ideas need to be changing too. 


As I have grown in my profession I have come to realize that I do have something to bring to the table. Even if it is just sharing something I learned/ "stolen" from someone else along the way. With this blog, I hope to publish ideas and strategies that are best practices for students but accessible for teachers to actually use. We all have heard what is best, but how do I apply that to my classroom?
