Today is a new day!

      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

It's Time

Well, where does the time go?  Here we sit staring down state testing and what have I done with this blog for my staff or for anyone else rather?  Okay, so; from here on out I am not sure what this blog will say but I am setting a goal for myself:  I will write on this blog at least once a week.  I'm not sure what will come of it or if it will just remain my quiet corner of the big cloud world.  My grammar isn't always perfect and I won't always create these fancy and eloquent posts, but I have to do this or I never will!  Hold me accountable great big world because it's time I learned!
