"Deep in the Heart of Texas" - Planting New Educational Roots

Soooooo, this blog started in 2012. At that time, I was a first grade teacher in Georgia. I had a three year old daughter and an eight year old son who attended school with me. I was deeply entrenched in the Common Core standards and all things lower primary.

Fast forward five years. I now live in Texas, my young son is now in middle school and my three year old is almost in third grade. I have stepped out of the classroom and the Texas TEKS have me doing a daring two-step as the AP of instruction for third and fourth grade. I have moved from a traditional public school, to a charter school.

Yes, a lot has happened. I have many insights to share and a few years to catch up on. I am ready to begin sharing with you, my journey  that is still very new.

Don't touch that dial! Life as a Texas educator, is just getting started!
