Happy New Year!

There is something magical about the start of a new school year.  I love the opportunity to reunite with my school family and catch up with everyone, hearing about everyone's summer adventures and their upcoming plans for the school year.  I always greet people when I first see them with a "Happy New Year" and they chuckle, probably partially because we are still in the heat of August and not in January but also because they realize that, for educators, the start of school really is our new year.  Just like January 1st, the start of school is filled with hope.  It's the filled with the ability to reorganize, refresh, and reinvent.  It's filled with opportunities for new beginnings.

Speaking of new beginnings, I am thrilled to share that I will be embarking on a new adventure of my own this year!  In addition to being the TES Collaboratory teacher, I will also be the TES Gifted and Talented teacher!  I am so excited to dive into PERC (Program for Enrichment, Reasoning, and Creativity) this year!

Of course, I was also excited to get the Collaboratory up and running for the start of the 2019-2020 school year!  Take a peek at how it looks so far!








Good luck to all of the educators and students out there getting ready for their first day of school!  I wish you all the happiest new year!
