January: The Journey Begins!

Well, kind of.

January always feels like the time to make a clean start, to begin something new. So, even though it is not a new school year, or even a new grading period, this January will be the start of my new blog-er-ific journey here with you!

A little bit to introduce myself. My name is Lindsey and I teach 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade reading. Which is perfect since I L-O-V-E to read! I also am an aspiring author, a would be runner, and a wine enthusiast.

What I hope to be able to do here is, while I am getting so many great ideas from others, to share my ideas as well. In teaching, I think we all have a responsibility to share our resources so that we can all become the best teachers possible! Because at the end of the day, what we all want is to be the best!

I have spent my winter break doing major overhauls! The wonderful reading team I am a part of has overhauled our curriculum, I have overhauled my classwork/centers expectations, as well as giving my whole classroom a complete re-design!

I have spent more hours than I would like to count of my "vacation" time reorganizing, redecorating, rearranging, typing, printing, laminating, hanging, tearing down and of course, scouring the internet looking for fabulous ideas I can use for my awesome intermediate students!

While I cannot believe that there are only 4 days left of vacation before I will be back in my own cozy little classroom, I am also beyond excited to get started! I know that this January will hold great things as my kiddos and I embark on a brand new Reading Journey together!
