DAY 1: What brings me to this new blog?
Hmmmm...Well, I guess it is my desire to give back to those in the blogging community! I’ve been browsing teaching blogs and investigating new ideas to implement with my students for the past three years now. I have learned a tremendous amount from teacher bloggers around the world. Even though I’ve never physically met these teachers, I feel I know them personally through their blogging posts and contributions to others.
It is my hope to do the same thing...share thoughts and ideas with those who will listen, are interested in literacy as much as me, and share in my enthusiasm. In addition, I would like to continue (because it’s been happening for a while now) to gain insight from others through their thoughts, comments, advice and suggestions. Everyone has something to bring to the proverbial table of ideas, which is why I am taking this blogging “step”. I’m envisioning a huge springboard with ideas flying far and wide!
Please, if you are out there and willing to join me on my blogging journey, I’d love to have company. By the way, does anyone have any advice to offer for a newbie in the blogging world? These are unchartered waters for me, so I would love to hear it. :)
I can't wait to read your posts! Writing regularly isn't as difficult as it seems once you get started!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennie! I've already enjoyed posting a few things today and think the challenge is right up my alley. I'll have to check out your blog, too. Hope to hear from you again sometime soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThe proverbial table of ideas is excited to have you sitting at it! :) And I can't wait to read your blogs! :)
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you very much, Leah! You're too kind. I'm anticipating your blogs as well!! ;)
DeleteWelcome to blogging! I'm still a newbie too, I feel...I've had my blog since January but the amount of writing I do definitely comes in waves--that's why I joined the blogging challenge! Can't wait to see what wonderful literacy ideas you have :)
ReplyDeleteHello Caitlin! Nice to "meet" you. I'm glad there are other newbies out in the world with me. I'll have to check out your blog, too. Actually, I can't wait to see what wonderful literacy ideas I have as well! Ha! ;) Blog with you again very soon...
