I created this blog as a place to reflect on the world I see as a 5th grade teacher. I want to see kids coming to school ready to learn and with a passion to be a part of the world. I want to empower other teachers to see that every moment is important and that even the smallest smile can make the difference. We are the forefront of the good, the bad and the ugly of education but its about our students and making a difference in their lives!
