Becoming a Blogger

I've done it. I'm officially a blogger. After spending the entire summer reading blogs of others and learning about new technology, I decided it was time to give it a try.

My goals for my blog are simple. I want to create a space where I can reflect on what I do. I want to learn more from myself and others. I also hope to inspire and help other teachers, like so many have inspired me.

This summer I have learned so much about Web 2.0 technology and new ideas for my classroom. I've also began a program to get my Masters degree as a Reading Specialist. Through this blog I hope to share the ideas and exciting things I have learned.

My teaching experience is not extensive at this point. I'm still considered a beginner by most. This blog is a way for me to grow and learn as I develop more teaching experience. I'm am preparing for my third year teaching first grade. The little ones are so inspiring! Where else can I go and be so loved and they think I'm so smart!

I hope that through my reflections you can find something to think about and learn about. Take the time to continue to learn. Learning is so valuable.
