A Little About Me

This is my 5th year teaching kindergarten.  I originally thought I wanted to teach 5th grade, but destiny had it's own plan.  After I graduated I was not able to find a position at the beginning of the school year so I started subbing.   My former kindergarten teacher needed a long term substitute and after a few weeks, another kindergarten position in the building opened.  The principal asked if I was interested and since it was a full day kindergarten I accepted.  I think he planned on having me move to 5th when one of the 5th grade teachers retired at the end of the year, but I LOVED kindergarten so much I asked to stay.  I have been there ever since.

I consider myself a lifelong learner so I was ecstatic to find the blogging world.  However, after seeing all of the wonderful blogs out there, I am very hesitant to try my own.  I have been stalking so many creative and generous teachers on their blogs that I feel like my head is spinning.  It is hard to believe I have been missing out on these amazing resources for so long (I accidentally came across a blog earlier this month while surfing around the web and I have been addicted ever since!)  Maybe I shouldn't have thought of trying this so close to the beginning of the school year.  

Time will tell if I will ever be able to share something useful, but I do know that since I chose a non-prime time to start, it will be slow goings.  Please be patient with me :)
