Getting Started

I just wanted to takes a second and say thank you for visiting my page. I'm new to the blogging world and hope that you will bear with me for my first few attempts at posting. Generally, I am terrible at taking time to write about my life (consider this warning of prolonged absences) but as an educator it is always important to reflect on how things are going in your classroom. I want to use this blog as motivation to more regularly  check in with myself and verbalize where I am at in relation to goals for myself and for my students.
I am currently half-way through spring semester of my junior year of college (yikes!) and it's incredible to see how far I've come. College has been a crazy roller coaster so far but I wouldn't have had it any other way. This semester is by far my busiest but it has also been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I somehow talked myself into taking twenty-one credits this semester (not the best choice for maintaining sanity), have an on campus job and split my field experience between three different sites: a fifth grade classroom in Northeast Portland, an after school science program and at an after school program for students of low income families.
In what little free time I have (believe me, it isn't much), I love to get outside and explore. Rain or shine, my happy place is nature.
