I am trying something new on my blog.

If I’m being honest, and I aim to always be honest, I’m a little scared to do this.

But I’m itching to make a change. To make a difference. To get out of my way and into the world.

So, I’m going to take a giant leap of faith.

I hope you will join me.

Every day, except on the weekends, I plan to post a snippet of something. This snippet might be in the form of an idea for the classroom. Or a suggestion for a read aloud. Or a thought about a classroom routine. Or maybe a question or dilemma I’m facing as a teacher.

My hope is that this will generate ongoing conversation. Maybe even dissonance. And that it might lead to some form of collaboration. And, even if it doesn’t do any of these things, I will at least capture my ideas in a permanent place for future reference and reflection.

Wherever it takes me, I’m ready.

So, are there any topics you would like to discuss here? Questions you have about any aspect of teaching elementary age students? Ideas of your own you would like to share?

I look forward to hearing from you!
