She lives!
I'm not sure what makes me come and go so often when it comes to blogging. I do enjoy writing.
Actually, I'm fairly certain I know why last year was tough for me to keep it going. Last year was just...hard. It was hard for a number of reasons, most of which were outside of the realm of my control. So, as lame as it sounds, I didn't consider blogging a priority, as I was busy trying to keep my head above water.
This year, I'm happy to say that things are vastly improved. I'm teaching fourth grade now, and I feel like I've found a new and even more perfect niche. Fourth graders are more independent, more self-sufficient, and honestly? They work harder. I'm feeling as though I'm better suited for this age group, and I hope to hang out here for as long as I can.
Also, I have a fanTASTic class this year. Not that I didn't have a great class last year. I just had a more...challenging group of students. This year, I have a group of kids that I had the benefit of being familiar with before they entered my room. I have none of the same kids from last year, which in some ways is bittersweet. While I would have loved to have had some familiar faces in the room, starting over with a fresh batch of kids is a lot more liberating. I hope that makes sense. It is going on 10:30 on Sunday night.
Anyhow, I'm finding myself craving that writing outlet again, and so here I am. I don't know if anybody has checked in here in the past...um...10 months...but, if you care to join me for the occasional musings about life and education and whatever else passes through my mind, here I am.
Welcome. Sit for a spell. I'll be back soon. I promise.
