Confessions of a Former Blog Stalker

I have a confession to make. I read teacher blogs. A lot of teacher blogs. But I never interact with any of them. I read their ideas, try them out in my classroom, sometimes even buy their products. But I have remained silent and in the shadows, just like that student in our classroom that works quietly but never raises their hand.

Today, that ends.

I've decided to enter the world of teacher blogging, and I couldn't be more excited! I have benefited so much from reading about other classrooms, so now it's my turn to give back and share my own successes and struggles.

About me...

My name is Amanda, and I am a 5th grade English teacher in Texas. This is my 5th year teaching. In the past I have also taught 4th grade English and a 5th grade English/Social Studies combo. Reading is my passion, and I try my best to pass on a love of reading to my students.

I'm very much looking forward to starting this new blogging adventure. Happy teaching!
