Teaching to Learn, Learning to Teach

As I finish up the last semester of courses for my teaching certificate, I have realized that choosing this career path means I will never be done learning.  There is so much knowledge I need to absorb, so many ideas I need to analyze and challenge, and so many things I have yet to experience.  This motivates and excites me while simultaneously scaring me.  Literacy is definitely a topic that I know I will forever be learning about and changing my ideas and beliefs on, but first I need to develop and articulate those initial beliefs.  This blog will be dedicated to developing my ideas on elementary education literature, challenging theories, and investigate things that spark my attention.  I hope to find out more about myself as a reader, more about myself as a teacher, and more about using literature to connect with my future students.

Thanks!
