After a long while from not posting or making videos, I decided to come back. My first two years of teaching, and even before then, I found myself lost in teaching blogs and videos for hours. Teaching was my life. It was a little overwhelming once I came home everyday and just felt like my job didn't stop when I left school. It was taking over my mind and attitude, even at home. I had to make a change and that change was for the better. I found myself discovering new things and new interests. I started crafting and I even started playing the piano again. Now that I feel "reenergized" I can come back to all of those teaching blogs and videos that I used to love so much. Now I can integrate it into my more "well rounded" life of interests.
With Thanksgiving coming up, I am reminded of all the things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I am also thankful for such a sweet bunch of second graders this year. I want to keep this post short and sweet so I will leave you with one of my favorite writing activities, I'm not a turkey. I'm sure there are many variations of this activity, but I just love it so much. I love the creativity that comes out during this assignment. One of my favorites... I'm not a turkey. A turkey has feathers. I have hands. Can I ask you a question? Do turkeys go to school? No they do not. I am a student. I talk a lot. If you eat me, I can talk in your stomach. If you eat a student, you go to jail. Ohhh so creative!!
