New Beginnings

Is it really that time again?!  SO SOON?  August has truly flown by, and all of a sudden we are starting school.  Except this year is going to be different.  You see, last year, and the three years prior to that, I drove over an hour each day to my school (68 miles!!).  While I loved my job, coworkers, students, and families, I needed to make a change.  I couldn't continue using up two hours of my day (and all my extra cash for gas!) so I accepted a job closer to home.  With this job is a different grade level (a 3-4 split....yowza) AND I get to teach all subjects (not just math as before)!  I haven't figured out yet how this will affect my blog, but I'm sure that will come in due time.  I look forward to doing math notebooks again, this year catering to 4th grade, while making many adjustments and improving it.  I am also learning a new math curriculum, Investigations.  Hopefully there will be lots of new and exciting ways to teach MATH!  And perhaps, if I feel ambitious, I will broaden the blog to include all the wonderful things we will be doing in Language Arts.  We shall see.....  :)
