Thing #1

After overcoming my initial fear of the unknown, I am now BLOGGING!!! I can't believe it. However since, I really, really like to do things in order, my first blog will be, Thing #1. I am a firm believer in lifelong learning. I certainly know more now, after 35 years as an educator, than I did that first year I taught 3rd grade in Hereford, Texas! Many years, many students, many fellow teachers, and many summers later, I am still learning. I am excited about this class because there is so much freedom in the learning. When considering the 7 1/2 habits, I must say the easiest for me is Habit #71/2--Play. I have always been good at that. I believe that the more fun you have when learning, the more you will learn...and remember what you learned. The hardest for me would have to be Habit #4, for sometimes I am not as confident as I would like to be as I begin to learn something new.

So, here goes.....I am jumping in with both feet!!! Let's begin JJ's summer time fun!!!
