So, I guess this is going to be the summer of online challenges. ;)
The newest challenge is from Michelle of BigTime Literacy.
Hey! I'm Adrienne. I am a Literacy Interventionist (aka reading interventionist, but "literacy" makes it sound fancy and it really encompasses more of what I do) for grades K-5. This position started last October. Before that, I taught first grade for 10 years. I LOVE first graders!
Recently, I started running/jogging because of inspiration from my teacher-friends. In May I ran my first 5K (including running up stadium ramps, yikes!) and have 2 more planned over the next 3 month. I still don't consider myself a runner, but it's nice to run for choice and not because a coach is punishing the team or because Zombies are chasing me.
My goal for this challenge is to get into a consistent pattern of blogging. I like recording my teacher-life for future reference and personal encouragement. Also, connecting with other teachers and bloggers is really interesting. It gives me a fresh perspective and kicks me out of slumps and ruts.
Now on to a not-too-fun activity...mucking the chicken coop. Yuck!
