Turning to a New Page

Hello!

I am starting this blog as a place for all of my teacher adventures. I hope to keep up with things that are going on in my seventh grade classroom over the school year. I want to chronicle my triumphs as well as my mishaps in the classroom. This will be my fourth year teaching, but as I am finding out--things are constantly changing! I am always looking for new ideas to try that will enhance student understanding and motivation. I am also constantly trying to become more inspired and creative in the classroom. I take ideas that I see on other wonderful blogs and tweak those ideas for my own classroom. After-all, education is a profession of stealing and making it your own.

My other purpose for this blog is to create a space for my interest of reading and all things books. It is a part of my chosen profession, but it is more of my number one hobby! I am a self-named book nerd. I like to share my thoughts on books, so I thought this would be a good place to do this. My favorite genre is fantasy. I read more of that than any other! This is not the same as sci-fi. That genre is not one of my favorites. I enjoy magic, other worlds, and most often a series set in the medieval time period.

A third topic that will come up on this blog is any of my creative endeavors. I enjoy some sewing, knitting, and creating.

Anyhoo, I hope you stop and enjoy!
