First Time Blogger

This is my first time to start a blog of my own. It's really something I've been thinking about trying for a while ever since I started reading other teachers' blogs. I enjoyed them and learned so much from them that I thought I would like to give it a try myself.

A little background about me...I' ve been teaching since 1997 but for the last 4 years I have been out of the classroom working as an ESOL ( English as a Second or Other Language) Instructional Support Specialty Teacher.  This fall, I am taking an adventure back into the CLASSROOM! I am also in grad school getting my master's degree in Library Science. And I'm super excited!

I'm going to teach second graders, but on our campus we will be blocked.  So I will teach the language arts and social studies classes. The campus is opening this fall~ BRAND NEW! Very exciting! As soon as we are allowed to begin moving in, I will share pictures of my classroom~before and after I set it up.  

My goal is to use this blog to share how I implement reading and writing workshop in my class, as well as GLAD (Guided Language Acquisition Design) strategies. I hope you visit often and enjoy!
