Hey all!
I wanted to share that I have officially changed the blog from 5th grade and fabulous to Teaching Coast 2 Coast. The reason for this was that I have decided to move down to 2nd grade this year. As much as I enjoyed the 5th graders (the last group I had I looped with almost 3 times!) I really don't enjoy their grown up behaviors. I am a kid at heart and love to be silly and dare I say "corny" (is that even a word anymore?!) but the 5th graders just looked at me like I was nuts.
My first 3 years of teaching I was in 2nd grade, and I LOVED it! However I am coming back to 2nd grade after CCSS, and now with new testing systems (even though 2nd grade doesn't take PARCC I still want them to be ready!) I am a little overwhelmed. The great thing is that in the last few years I have learned that if I don't know how to do it someone in the blog-o-sphere knows! I am so grateful for TPT and I hope that some day I can be as amazing as these teachers and create all my own stuff to share with new teachers!
I also wanted to change my blog name because last year I got to share my class with the most amazing co-teacher in the world! Now she is interested in sharing the blog with me but she is moving a lllllll the way to California! Lucky for me she will be coming back after a year :). So welcome Jess to the blog!
I am sure she will share about herself, but she is super excited to be on here sharing about her year in Cali and her responses to the book clubs we have planned. I know that she is very pumped to share about her Together-ness she got while reading The Together Teacher.
Later this week I am going to share about my latest Stitch Fix and some bathroom passes I made for my classroom this year!
Best,
