Welcome y'all!

Who is it exactly that says teachers don't work during summer? They clearly have no idea of whom they speak!

Welcome to my new adventure. The upcoming school year is a BIG one for me and I needed a place to document the excitement outside of my "school" blog. I'm hoping to use this as a place to collect all of my ideas (good and bad...lets hope for mostly good) AND to share stories of my kiddos (since I'm always put on the spot at parties and can never remember the really good story when I need it). I promise I love my kids! :)

So you want to know about me?
I teach World History to about 130 sixth graders. Yes, 130...you read it right.(This year I think we're starting the year about the 145 mark...yeah?) I need all the organizational tips I can get! I love teaching. I love my students. I love my teammates. I feel very blessed and lucky to have such a wonderful support system.

My current goal is to fill you in on my preparations for the beginning of the year. Once the school year starts, I'll share ideas, modifications and plenty of stories. Feel free to post comments and share your ideas and strategies!

Thanks for stopping by!
