a little impatient.........

So I apologize for those who have stopped by my blog and found it too be pretty barren.  

You see I had this urge to blog, but it was the beginning of summer, so not much to write about.  

I make myself stay away from school until the middle of July (at least!) 

And today was the day, the first time I've stopped in.  My room isn't ready to start 

moving back into yet, so I sent some beginning of the year materials to print shop 

and started to map what I wanted to do for the first week of school.  We start on a 

five day week, YAY! but I think I will be okay with activities for the students.  

My big excitement for the day was I got another whiteboard hung in my room! 

I had a board that was pretty useless, not even sure what it was made out of? but it 

was not magnetic, nor writable, not staple-able.  After doing a little complaining 

to my janitor and stating I would ask our principal this year if budget allowed, to 

order one, he said he had an extra in storage!!! I have to say that I have some 

awesome custodians, who will help out when ever needed.  So that was it for 

the day, and other then a doctors appointment and starting next months book 

club book, "She Comes Undone" by Walley Lamb it's been a very chill day. 

Thought I'd leave with a picture of our beautiful sunsets........................

   Yes, this is in PA.

let's begin

hello.  I decided to create this blog after my current obsession of pinterest started.  Not being very tech savvy I was amazed by how many great ideas I was finding from blogs I never knew were in existence.   I am a teacher, and will be starting my ninth year as an educator, with a class of 30 fifth graders without a collaborating teacher...which to say in the least scares me just a bit.  I have held a few different positions in my district from title I to gifted, before settling in fifth grade.  If you are a teacher you may be feeling the same lack of creativity, stress, and doubt from this high stake testing era we are in.  I know why I became a teacher, but I let the pressure get to me, BIG time.  After browsing a few site, I started to become inspired again.  Through that inspiration I decided to start a blog...this one in fact :) I'm not sure how many will visit, but I want to keep the inspiration alive in myself and become the teacher I am truly meant to be.  And for some reason I feel like a blog will help keep me inspired, creative, and disciplined.  The title is reflective of my Italian roots and translates to "moments of."  Because let's face it as teachers everyday is a moment of something good, bad and even sometimes ugly.  And that is what I want to capture with this blog, all of those moment and everything in-between.
