The Beginning of a Journey

This is the beginning of a new journey. I love to travel, and I will spend this year traveling, via a blog, through first grade. Just as my firsties are learning many new things, I too, will be learning -- I will be learning the art of blogging. 


Every journey has a starting point. Today is the starting point for Class Around the Corner. Where this journey will lead, I do not know. Only time will tell.

Let me begin by explaining how my blog got its name…Class Around the Corner. 

First, when I moved to first grade a year ago after teaching kindergarten for nine years, I moved to a room that is literally "around the corner." Note to self: remember to take a picture and post it. 

Second, and this may seem strange, but my husband LOVES the movie You've Got Mail. Why, you ask, would a deer hunting, turkey shooting, eighth son out of nine sons, father of three boys, work-out/exercise fanatic, Men's Ministry Minister love a chick flick? The answer to that is unknown even to him. Every time he is caught watching it he will ask, "Why do I like that movie so much?" Folks, mine is not to question but just to enjoy. So, in honor of my man, I tipped my hat to The Shop Around the Corner. 

I like it. And when I told him the name, he grinned. I think he likes it, too.





CLASSROOM PICTURES

I love to look at pictures of other teacher's classrooms. I am the queen of "borrowing" a good idea. Below you will see some pictures from my classroom last year. This is my second year in the room, and I have moved things around a bit. Be watching for those pictures to come soon.
