HELLO!!! If you are reading this blog you are obviously a blog genious. Not being a blog genious myself, I would probably have no idea where to find this blog! Yes, this is my first blog, ever. To start, I suppose that I should tell you a little bit about myself. I am a girl who is working her way through college to become an elementary teacher. I want to be a teacher because I love kids and feel that I am energetic enough to keep up with children and feel that their energy should be used for good, specifically for the good that education brings. Also, I want to be a teacher because I love learning! I want to instill in my future classroom that learning is not just something that we do at school, rather it is a life long practice that will affect our success in many aspects of life. I want to equip my students to face the challenges of life while being confident, determined, resourceful, and positive. Educational content is definately important but the reality is that head smarts will only take you so far. It takes wisdom to take learned knowledge and apply it. I want to equip my students to do just this.
