Sometimes, wonderful things come out of boredom and curiosity. Today was one of those times. I got out of work early today and have been trying to make the time go by faster. And so, I started looking for teacher blogs (because I have my own, wanted to see what else was out there), and stumbled upon Teacher Lingo. I thought the idea was cool enough, so I signed up, and well, the rest is history.
Unfortunately, I'm not a teacher...yet. I'm about halfway to becoming one. Right now, I am going to college and working on my BA degree in Language Arts/Elementary Education from Grand Valley State University. I currently work within a local school district in an after school program. My job makes me smile every day and I cannot wait to become a teacher. I know it'll incorporate a lot of hard work and contradictions, but in the end, I think its well worth it.
And since I enjoy my major and current job so much, I decided to start a blog. I started it before I joined Teacher Lingo, and so, I am going to have it linked to this blog. However, that can take "up to 48 hours." In the meantime, here's the link:
http://www.chalktalkweekly.com . This blog incorporates anything I come in contact with that has to deal with the education field. This includes lesson plans, opinions, and experiences. Overall, its the "insight of a teacher-to-be." If you're interested, take a look at it, let me know what you think, etc.
And for future reference, I'll probably do most of my posting on that particular blog, and not this one. That is, unless I come to love the Teacher Lingo set-up :).
Take Care Everyone! And hopefully your summer vacations have started!
