Getting Started

Okay, I am completely new to this and feeling very uncomfortable as I write this post.  I created this blog awhile ago, stalked a lot of blogs, and waited for the inspiration to come to me!  No such luck...  So, I signed up to be part of an awesome postcard exchange and one of the rules is that I need to have a blog - there it is, my inspiration and motivation to start blogging.

This year, our school is using Habits of Mind (anyone else using this?).  One of the habits is Taking Responsible Risks.  As I teach my students to be risk takers, I need to listen to my own lesson and be a risk taker.  I will do that by writing this and opening up my classroom challenges, successes, and failures to others through this blog.
