Hi everyone!
This is my blog about teaching and learning. I am so excited about this journey to become a better educator and I am hoping this blog will help me do just that.
Come back frequently...my goal is to post weekly and sometimes more as the year progresses. I will also be posting about my NBCT journey as I continue to pursue that! I hope you join me on this incredible journey of learning and becoming an amazing teacher!
