http://www.lifeinroom15.com/2014/06/monday-meet-up.html
Monday, June 23, 2014. So this is a record. It's still June and I'm posting AGAIN! This MUST be summer vacation. Let me start by pointing out that blonde over there on the right. She's the reason I'm sporting a sunburn. I decided to play around with my Art Studio app this morning and wasn't paying attention to how long I was sitting in the sun. Ouch! This is the real me. I thought I'd join in with The Teaching Tribune's Monday Meet Up. Here are a few completely random tidbits about me. My dad was a liver...

Loose Shoelaces: March 2014
http://looseshoelaces.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2014. I've been doing some thinking lately. I'll be 30 years old in a few months, and I still sometimes feel as lost as I was when I was much younger. I am definitely more confident than I used to be, however, I still wonder if I even know myself at all. I feel like my style and likes/dislikes are constantly changing, but are they mine or someone else's? Thursday, March 6, 2014. Wonderful Erin over at The Short and Sassy Teacher.

Fifth Grade Fun--a "Shore" Thing!: Number the Stars
http://beachykeenvankampen.blogspot.com/2013/09/number-stars.html
Thursday, September 26, 2013. This week we began the pre-reading activities for one of my favorite books to teach from: Number the Stars. By Lois Lowry. I haven't taught from this book in several years because I had a few years where most of the class had already read the book. Alternatively, I taught from The Giver. I cannot express just how excited I am to get their hands, minds, and hearts intertwined with the characters and storyline and I hope that they love it just as much as I do! I've been teachi...
