Across the Hall in 2nd. Sunday, September 21, 2014. I've been MIA for awhile, but I promise I have a good reason! Just a quick little post to let you know what's been keeping me occupied these days :). Introducing Miss Ella Grace. Ella was born on September 13, 2014 at 9:47am. She weighed 8 lbs even and measured in at 20 1/4 inches long. We didn't know what we were having before Ella was born, and both her daddy and I thought SHE was going to be a HE! So, needless to say, we were pretty surprised!

Across the Hall in 2nd. Monday, December 7, 2015. Are you counting down the days until winter break? As much as I cannot wait for a solid two weeks at home, where getting dressed is purely optional, I really do love this time of year at school. It's like holidays 24/7 for all of December for teachers. I mean there's books upon books dedicated to the holidays and we get to decorate our homes and our rooms! Okay, that's not always the funnest for some of us :). And if they get to use their imagination?

My beautiful, amazing, wonderful mom turned 60 this past weekend! My husb...

Across the Hall in 2nd. Monday, August 17, 2015. Looking to Revamp Your Morning Work? I've been teaching for 7 years now. I think back to how I started off: excited but unsure, eager yet apprehensive. It's amazing how teaching can be both extremely exciting and daunting at the same time. Especially for the fresh-faced college grads. They still exist, actually! I should also mention that this is nothing ground-breaking. I just took a pretty popular morning message idea and adapted it to the needs of m...

Across the Hall in 2nd. Monday, September 14, 2015. September is a month of new beginnings for many of us who head back to school during this month. But, boy, has September been a month of change for me a few years running. September 2013: I was teaching second grade in the district I had worked for since I started my career as a teacher. No big changes other than a new class and a new superintendent. I am hopeful that my new position will offer me a deeper understanding of literacy and language arts in ...
