Mr. Muppet

It's time to introduce my assistant to the blogging world! Meet Wordsworth. He will help motivate my students by bringing a bit more spunk to their learning, particularly when it comes to literacy. Wordsworth, named after the renowned British poet, loves to read and write and enjoys sharing this passion for words with all who surround him. Stay tuned for photos of Wordsworth's Word Wall and related activities, once I have access to my classroom.

"We have, within ourselves, enough to fill the present day with joy and overspread the future years with hope."  -William Wordsworth

Hi, I'm a teacher!

And so it begins! I have been working toward this moment for 7 years (18, if you go back to the age that I decided I wanted to be a teacher). I now have a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, A TEACHING JOB, and the constant support of amazing family and friends. I am truly the happiest I've ever been. I cannot wait to get in my classroom and meet my students. I've been through so many ups and downs over the past 6 years, and this is the point where I finally feel that my determination has paid off. In the words of Jason Derulo,


"No looking back, can't live that way right now
Yesterday's gone, I've found my way somehow
So I'ma get up and dance
Cause this might be my last chance
Like there's nobody around
Even gravity can't keep me down


Everybody get it started
I'm on top of the world, what a feeling
I'm undefeated
So I'll live today like it's my last one
There's no time for fear, you only live once"


I hope that my excitement is contagious and that my students will LOVE learning in my classroom. They better get ready to dance.
