Rumor has it...

There's a rumor that blogs don't survive without posts. I shall not let this die!
Clearly, it has been a while and I apologize. I have been much busier than expected. While loads has happened, I promise to keep it short and simple. Here are some things that have been occupying my time as of late for my (school) kids.
1. Common Core PD
Love it and hate it all in the same exhale. We recently had an inservice addressing the implementation of informational texts in the classroom. My district is focusing on changing our teaching practices to better prepare the kids for the new standards/testing.
2. Work, work, work
I'm been planning like my life depends on it. I have been able to come up with a few new ideas that I'm excited about. I'm going to have to take a breather soon. I feel like I never stop! It's totally worth it though.
3. Bulletin boards
I'm NOT a fan. I want to make something that I can add to throughout the year. Currently taking any and all suggestions.
4. TGC
I'm starting my online class for TGC this week. I'm a little nervous, but pretty excited for this experience to get underway. I received my Sony Bloggie last week. I'll be testing it out this week! Yay for free technology! :)
Can't think of much more than this after hosting a party Friday night and spending the weekend showing off my town to my friend from Charleston.
