I finally did it!
I've been reading teacher blogs for the last 3 months or so, a few weeks into the start of my second year of teaching. I work in a high-poverty, inner-city elementary school that is trying actively to diversify our student population as a magnet school with a hands-on, project-based curriculum.
Hands-on? Projects? My first year, the idea was completely overwhelming. I got started on reading centers only partway through the year and never even got a chance to attempt math stations. Coming into teaching, I had originally thought I would end up in middle school and the idea of making all these materials seemed overwhelming. I also had an aversion to comic sans and, silly me, associated elementary materials with that font.
My enthusiasm for teaching has skyrocketed with some of the things I've found on teacher's blogs these past few months! It's amazing how much more respect kids will give materials when they look neat, attractive, and organized! It gave me the umph I needed to update some of the materials that I'd made. I recently started my own store on TPT and had my very first sale today!
Here's to a new adventure in blogging!
