Introduction

I guess the best way to start this blog is to tell you guys about myself.  I am about to start my second year of teaching in an elementary school.  Before this, I taught preschool. In two years, I have managed to go from preschool to first grade and now to third grade.  This is definitely a whole new world for me.  

Thankfully, I'm a Pinterest addict and I work with some incredible colleagues that have already gotten me rolling. Another point in my favor is that my mother also teaches and she just happens to teach third grade. Guess who gets lost of frantic phone calls from me? ;) One of the most beneficial things a teacher can have is someone with lots of ideas, experience, and plenty of patience for all the things you want to talk about.  Luckily, my mom has plenty of all of those. 

So, as I start out on the third grade journey/escapade/adventure/possible nightmare, I figured I'd start blogging about ideas I have, things I have implemented, and anything else I can think of.  Let's get this year started and see how it goes!
