Today marks the last day of our Christmas holidays, meaning that school is back in full-force tomorrow. After a relaxing two weeks I can honestly say that I am heading back to school refreshed and ready to go! I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was definitely feeling exhausted when Christmas hit. Teaching is a profession that isn’t done when the day ends at 4:00pm and I think that it can be difficult to find a balance (especially in that first year when you’re trying to “do it all”). This break has allowed me to take… Read More
2 Year Blogiversary Celebration!
I did it! Two full years of blogging under my belt and still going strong 🙂 What started out as my New Years Resolution in 2012 has now become a part of my regular routine and has opened up numerous doors and opportunities that I didn’t even know were possible. Through this blog I’ve developed personally, professionally, and have been able to connect with many amazing educators that I never would have meet if it wasn’t for this platform! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read my posts, comment, and support me along the… Read More
Catching Up On My Homework / Sunshine Blog Post
Over the past few weeks by Feedly & Twitter have exploded with “Do Your Homework” or “Sunshine Blog” posts. This chain post makes me all nostalgic for the 90’s Hotmail chain emails that circulated so frequently… (you know those ones where the teenage version of yourself sat answering random questions and carefully selecting the perfect emoticon or font colour to accent your response). Fast forward to 2013/2014 and it seems like I’ve found the adult/”professional” version of that. I’ve really enjoyed the posts that I’ve read from people in my PLN. Our conversations so often focus only on education… Read More
January Currently
Of course with it being a new year and a new month we also have a new “Currently” post! If you haven’t encountered a “Currently” post before, it is just a fun post at the beginning of each month that serves as a way to share what is Currently going on in your life! You can link up and share your own “Currently” post by visiting the wonderful Farley over at Oh’ Boy 4th Grade.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! As I sit here typing this I realize just how little I have been blogging the past few months (in comparison to my average). Leading up to September, my life was relatively calm compared to the organized chaos that is the life of a first-year teacher. Prior to this point my blog posts had been a way to further the learning that was occurring as I made my way through my education degree, reflect on any PD that I attended, share interesting ed tech resources that I found online, etc. While I feel that… Read More
