I had such a blast this week getting to know all my new friends. Fourth Grade is new for me and I've been quite busy getting to know the curriculum and the 'flow' of each day. I have to say, considering I only got a few hours of sleep each night, I am VERY pleased with how this week turned out. I worked really hard to make sure I had all my ducks in a row.
I am soo in love with this age group. We had awesome conversations during Social Studies about Florida's geography. They showed a lot of interest in the different types of rocks we observed in Science. And of course, had lots of fun playing math games where they got to manipulate different numbers and show their understanding of place value. I am thrilled to learn new things this year and especially can't wait for all my friends to see their abilities and feel proud of what they can achieve, and most importantly, find the hero in themselves.

My ultimate goal... to be that great teacher
