Feeling like me again!

So, it's been forever since I've been on here and I'm sorry. I've been so into my classroom and getting my feet under me that I just forgot.

So, now that I'm here, I have some good news. I am loving what I'm doing right now. I've planned some CA lessons recently that the kids seemed to really enjoy and I enjoyed teaching. I am working on a writing part to our "Life Stories" unit (Biographies, Autobiographies, Memoirs, Personal Narratives) and I am really pumped for it! My students don't really like to write, but I'm trying to ease them into it by creating life maps and "writer's eye" sections like we did in teaching writing. I'm excited about this unit so hopefully it will rub off on my students.

Also, I've been getting good feedback from other professionals about my lessons. Trust me, I am not trying to brag at all, I'm just sharing a triumph because for the longest time I felt like I was just trying to keep my head above water. It seems that every once in a while you get a few gulps of fresh air and it's marvelous. =)
