Tomorrow starts the new school year. In addition to all of the excitement the first day of school brings, there is also some anxiety, but I think overall it is fun to start "fresh" every August.. I am looking forward to the school year and all of the new experiences it will bring.
As you may have noticed, this blog was inactive for the 2015/2016 school year. There were many factors involved in that decision. Being new to second grade last year, a new curriculum, and the need to rest from blogging duties for awhile were some of those factors. The school year, however, was wonderful. I had great students, I loved teaching second grade, and I got to work with some awesome people that I hadn't been able to work with before.

You may also notice that my blog will, at times, focus not only on being a resource for parents, but a place for myself to journal and reflect on my teaching experiences throughout the year.
So, welcome to my new journey, the 2016/2017 school year. I think it will be great!
