A New Adventure

And so...it begins.  I am so excited to begin this new blogging journey!  I know that this will be an amazing adventure ahead for me.  I have blogged before, however, it was more of a website created in order to keep parents of my Kindergarten students informed of the happenings of our classroom (I still have another website dedicated to that). This blog is devoted to connecting with other educators and growing as an educator myself! 💜 Education and learning is my passion and my hobby and I am extremely pumped at the possibilities out there in the blogging world!! 💫

There are a variety of paths that have finally led me to this new blogging road.  It is something I have been contemplating for a long time. What made me finally take the leap is the graduate class that I am currently enrolled in.  Although I have taught for 14 years, I have never been able to pursue my goal to obtain my Master's Degree until recently.  I have an amazing husband (however, he travels frequently for work), and I have three amazing children (however they are VERY busy). 😉 My evenings have been devoted to my family for years and as my children have become more independent,  I have a little more time to devote to my career.  I wouldn't give all the time back with my family for anything though. I loved every minute of it. 💞

Back to the graduate course...  I am pursuing my Master's in Instructional Technology ~ WOW! It's amazing!  I love the classes (that is for another post though).  My current grad class, for so many reasons, encourages journaling.  One main reason is for a common place for all of the many notes we will be taking and information that we will need for future assignments.  Journaling!!! I love it!! I used to journal when I was younger, but as you know,  life gets busy, we get busy.  It is something that I haven't made time for.  However, I grew up loving writing and I continue to love to write.  So, if I can blog and connect with other educators, this is definitely a WIN - WIN! I would love to hear from other grad students out there!! What are your goals for your program? Anyone else journaling?

 I grabbed this journal and of course had to get some colored pens as well (We all know teachers love colored pens! Scented ones are even better!)

So, not only will I start journaling, I decided I will start blogging! 😃 This first post has taken me a week to finally accomplish, but alas, it is completed.  I can not wait to start connecting and collaborating with other educators!  I recently began an Instagram devoted to teaching as well ~ @TLC_Kindergarten. I have been overwhelmed with the connections I have made in the last two months.  It is truly inspirational to connect with other powerful educators! 

In the words of a dear parent that I have been blessed to work with this year - A NEW ADVENTURE AWAITS!
