My First Post

WOW. Is this really happening right now? I guess it’s official this is my 1^st post on my blog… HOLY COW!!!

Let me start off by introducing myself a little bit... I am a kindergarten teacher here in Seattle, Wa this will be my 2^nd year in Kinder, but my 6^th year teaching. I love what I do and wouldn’t want any other job! Seriously!!! No other job, I have heard a lot of other bloggers say that teaching is not only their job, but their hobby and I totally understand that sentiment. I wish I could say I’m as crafty and creative as the rest of my bloggy friends, but I’m NOT!!! I have come to accept that because I am great at re-creating all of your wonderful ideas and sometimes creating my own {wacky} ideas along the way. As it stands right now I have nothing to lose with this little blog thing right here as I have no followers so I might as well go for it, right?!?

Well I wish I had something more to tell all of you, I don’t at least not right now anyways, but what I do have is a giveaway for making you at least have to skim through my crazy 1^st attempt at blog writing. Are you just on the edge of your seat waiting to know what the giveaway is??? Well you can be the proud new owner of... “Kindergarten Common Core Standards” both Literacy and Mathematics are included. Basically, all I did was re-type only the kindergarten standards so that it would be easy for me to access while I planned. My wonderful state/district has not said anything formally to us about using these standards I just find them to be helpful as our state standards are very “general” and being new to kindergarten coming from 3^rd/4^th grade I needed/wanted a little more direction! 

 

I hope you enjoy, please leave any questions or comments you have, as I will read them and respond!!! Thanks!

Although, I pretend to loathe my nickname “Burkie” that my mentor teacher/colleague gave me I deep down kinda like it, but let’s just keep that between you and me! :-)
