A Work in Progress....but aren't we all?

As I type these first words, I am realizing that I am officially a blogger.  I am so excited.  Well, actually... "no",  I think it could be more anxious.  Maybe, even nauseous.  I get those two confused all the time.  But, I will push through my blogging reservations to complete my first post.  

Breathe.....ok....here I go:

This blog, my life, and my teaching are a work in progress.  I hope to share what I have learned in my 17 years of teaching, as well as, what I am learning on a day-to-day basis about myself, my students, and my profession.  


Now, I am a little worried that my blog title might lead people to believe I am a bit narcissistic, but actually, every darn, cute phrase with the word "second" or "2nd" was grabbed up long ago.  Trust me, I looked.  

I am actually just a humble mom of two wonderful children, a wife of almost 12 years, a "foodie" (aka: a food snob), a hiker and lover of all things outdoors, and a teacher who has been teaching 2nd grade for 8 years and absolutely loves it!

I am excited to meet and talk with all of you classroom warriors and heroes out there.  So, pardon my dust...and let's talk teaching!

Ok, that wasn't too bad.  I think I can do this.

  1. YEAH!!! I'm so excited! I've become someone's very first follower! I just started my blog in January and as a veteran teacher of 23 years, sometimes I feel waaaaaayyy to old and out of my comfort zone. Most people have been VERY helpful (a few just totally ignore any plea for help), but I believe STRONGLY in treating others as I want to be treated. I am NO pro, by a long shot, but slowly and surely, my blog is starting to come along. Just give me a shout if I can help you in ANY way!
