All About...

It has been FOREVER since I have written anything on my blog.
Here is what has been happening in my life since leaving student teaching.
The year after I graduated I started working part time as a gifted specialist and then homeschooled a 1st, 2nd, and 7th grader. I was working a lot and it was a fabulous learning experience. It was really great to see the gifted side of education.
After that year, I got a job at the school where I student taught! Yay! I was so super excited to be at my dream school. I have been teaching 1st grade and it has been exhausting and wonderful. This year has had many many many trials, but I know it is only growing me as a teacher. I have a wonderful mentor teacher and an incredible team. They have really made my year.

We are wrapping up the year, and I am excited to regroup and figure out what I want to do differently next year. I have been consuming teacher blogs, Pinterest, and TPT like crazy.

These last couple of weeks we have been studying habitats amidst all of the paper work. I wanted my kids to do some independent research on an animal and write about them and their habitat. I quickly created an All about... book and let my kids get started on Pebblego.

Here is a link to my free book on TPT.
