Today is a new day. I have had this blog hanging out in the clouds for quite sometime and I have finally decided to say who cares what it's called. I've always wanted to start a family blog but have never taken the time. Well, the time is now. On this very blog. So I am going to write about it ALL! School, home and everything in between as a way to journal so to speak about my life. I don't really like to write with a pen any more so I will type instead. And let me just say ahead of time, please forgive my grammar. Who knows anymore about where a semi colon goes or a comma? I promise to do my best but I can't guarantee it will be correct!
I want to share been happening lately in my life. I left the Instructional Coach role two years ago. I'm not really sure how I feel but suffice it to say I do love being with kids. They are actually much easier to deal with than adults and the most political issue they have is whether or not they get their turn! I learned so much during my days as an IC and wouldn't change the experience because that would mean changing what I learned. I would, however, change the way in which I learned some of those lessons. Needless to say though I love working with any thing educational or curriculum so it's all good.
Now I haven't gotten into making clip art and all that but I do enjoy creating a station here and there and oh how I love helping a new teacher! Those were just two of my favorite things I enjoyed as an IC. There is just something about it...I don't know what it is but maybe someday when I 'grow' up, I will be able to truly pursue my dream of being a college professor and helping new teachers!
So, where am I now? Well, thanks for asking. I currently teach Kindergarten. I know, I know. I never thought it would happen either. I thought I would die in Second grade. Turns out that you will do extremely crazy things so that your kids can go to their neighborhood school. I am actually really enjoying my time in Kinder and will most likely stay awhile. Don't get me wrong, I still hope to someday have the privilege to be trained in the Dyslexia program or maybe even go back to the IC role but for the time being I have to put that on the back burner; at least until my kids get older and I don't have to worry about all the logistics involved!
Today is today and tomorrow will come but why not enjoy today while it's here.
Much love,
Literacy Lady
