Fellow Slicers!!!!
Today is day one of what I hope to be 31 days of writing! I'm not sure if I'll make it, but I'm going to try SUPER HARD!!!!
A little about me....
I'm going on my 17th year of teaching. :) About 4 years ago our principal departmentalized us, so I get the joy of teaching writing to about 60 first graders every day! I L.O.V.E. it more than I loved teaching in a self-contained classroom.
I'm a wife and a mother to three beautiful brown-eyed girls. I love to workout and running is my passion. Unfortunately, right now the mind is willing, but the body is weak. I coach volleyball and swim team, not at the same time right now. :)
This pic is a little old, but I LOVE it!

I can't wait to get to know you better!!!!
From my Brown eyes to yours...
So glad you are joining in on the fun! This is my first year as well. I teach writing to 7th graders :).
ReplyDeleteI wish I loved working out like you spoke of...I know that it is important, but I just can't make my mind become willing!!!!
What a lovely introduction you made. I've never heard of departmentalized first grade, but I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteAdorable (albeit an older) pic of your brown-eyed girls. They're adorable.
Welcome to slicing!
Such cute brown eyes! What a fun time you must have writing with first graders all day long. I'm a bit shocked that first grade is departmentalized. I hope you write more about it. Welcome to the slicing world!
ReplyDeleteDepartmentalized first grade? Tell me more! I only have one brown eyed girl--and she will be getting married in 4 months!
ReplyDeleteI to am a first time slicer. I am a coach in a PK-grade 1 building and I am very intrigued to hear about your departmentalizing 1st grade. Your pictures make your post come alive!

ReplyDeleteI am also embarking on the SOLC for the first time. I teach grade 2, love teaching writing and also love to run. I have been teaching for about 15 years. I look forward this month together.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the SOLC! I'm in year 15 of teaching reading. What a joy to teach writing all day to firsties! My students love to make little books.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the slicing community! You can and will do the best you can to write a little each day. It's such an exciting adventure -- and you have so many slices packaged in those three adorable girls! Enjoy the adventure!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading about you!
