Thoughts

I have been thinking for awhile - I should start a blog. Of course there are many questions to think about when starting a blog

1. Will anyone read it?? - I have no idea

2. What will I write about?? - This took some thought (more later)

3. Will I actually write on it?? - I hope so

When I was thinking about what I would write about on my blog I was sitting on three weeks till school starts. As I was writing my lists of things to do for school I thought I could write a blog about teaching. As I am preparing my lesson plans each week for my class I always look for ideas online. Then when it comes to the next year I think I wish I had that web site again, or I wonder where I got that from. I got to thinking wouldn't it be nice to have a place where all of my links and ideas were kept so I could just look back to what we did before. Thus the blog was born. I hope to help a few other teachers with ideas and maybe get a few ideas from people.

So my background, I have a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education (prek-3) and a Master's degree in Classroom Technology. I currently am starting my third year of teaching preschool (ages 3-5) in rural Ohio, I am the Preschool Intervention Specialist and I work everyday with a Regular Education Teacher and an Assistant.

I hope to post at least once a week with things we are doing in our classroom. Also at the end of every post I hope to have good apples and bad apples, these will be things that either I learned during these lessons, would do differently next time, funny things the kids said/did, or just random thoughts I am having.

Feel free to use things from my blog, ask questions and leave comments.

Good Apples - back to school letters have been sent out :)

Bad Apples - it is really hot and there is no sign of it cooling off - my school has no AC
