Blah, blah, blah!!!

Well, it's only Thursday and I hate to sound so bah-humbug, but I am so thrilled this morning is  over! I know, don't wish your life away; however, I had to go for a colonoscopy this morning and let me tell you, if you have never had one....it is an experience! I am glad to report that everything checked out great! Whew, just glad it is over. 


On Monday and Tuesday I went to county meetings about implementing Common Core in my classroom this upcoming year. After the two days of training, I left feeling overwhelmed, nervous, and excited all in one! I am really super stoked about putting these wonderful programs in place in about a month-what-holy cow-yes, I have a month until my workdays begin and I start back to school! I am such a nerd because I love getting my classroom ready and meeting my new students and families I will get to work with during the year.....SUPER BIG TEACHER NERD HERE!


 I do have to share that at the meeting, I met a fellow blogger that teaches in my county! I was so excited when she came up and said are you Kelly Brown with a blog? I was like, yes-she was like I'm Elisabeth from Twins, Teaching and Tacos! I thought that was so neat!  Elisabeth was one of the presenters and she did such a great job sharing her enthusiasm and knowledge about how she has implemented Common Core and the Investigations Math program into her classroom. She is really a wealth of knowledge! 


One more thing, I have got some neat things ready for a giveaway on my blog. If you would like to help by donating an item, please email me at kellybrown28021@gmail.com and let me know. I feel bad asking because I don't have a TpT store to help with other giveaways....I don't think there is anything left for me to create! You guys have it all covered!
