Ok, so that is a bit of a dramatic post title, but hey, I have been MIA for the last month and a half. So if you still kindly have me on your blogroll then bless you! It has been a crazy 6 weeks. First I was being transferred to 3rd grade and booted out to a portable, then an serious opportunity came up to teach in another district's gifted and talented program bouncing back and forth from two schools doing a pull out G/T class, and finally an offer to work in a 2nd grade G/T classroom. Ah, this is it! I am OFFICIALLY moving to 2nd grade in another school working with some truly remarkable students (but aren't all students remarkable?!)
So that briefly explains the craziness of my last 6 weeks. I never realized how hard it was to leave your first teaching job. 1st grade still has my heart, but I am very stoked to be moving on to new challenge.
Ok, no more reminiscing, here is where I need some help! You'll notice that the blog is called First Grade ABCs, not quite appropriate for this new adventure. Also it is only me now - Rebecca had a fantastic opportunity come up to work with an event planning company, so sadly she won't be on the blog very much. What should I re-title the blog? I am planning to focus some of my creativity on some first grade projects, but there will be a much stronger emphasis on 2nd grade now. I know I have some brilliant friends out there, help me find a name!
Thoughts? Thanks! I am so glad to be back!

Congrats on the new position! Not sure what to recommend for a new name. Think of what you are passionate about and what you will focus on for teaching and use that. Try to leave a grade level out of your title in case you move again. Good luck!

Oh, and thanks for still following me!
I agree with Lori about leaving out the grade level. Although who am I to talk...FOREVER in first. You'll come up with something that feels like home I'm sure.

Lori does have good advice, huh?! Thank you for still following me, Tammy! I'm glad to be diving back in to the blogging world :)
DeleteHmmm ... maybe "Primary ABCs". Good luck with your new position!
