I know I’ve been MIA, but I have returned! It has been a while since I blogged last. Actually, the last time I blogged was the year I was teaching first grade, and the world shut down for covid. A lot has changed over the last few years. I switched grades multiples times and districts! I’m going to recap as much as I can of all the highlights from the last couple of years. I cannot wait to share what’s new.

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be writing about topics that focus on student discourse, vocabulary comprehension, technology, and assessment. I’ll share about my experiences with MACUL grants, virtual resources, building thinking classrooms, data, and more. These are all topics that I focus heavily on in my own classroom and across grade levels. I can’t wait to tell you about what works for me, but I also can’t wait to learn from you as well!

In the meantime, here is a picture from my honeymoon this year! Out of all the changes in the last year, this by far was the best one!

I hope this blog post finds you well. Make sure to check out my instagram and X account for more up to date posts. I’ll start posting content later this week while enjoying my time in Florida on spring break!

Best regards,

Emily
