A Primary Teaching Blog

Saying Goodbye to 2013, Instagram Style

I’m joining Kickin it in Kindergarten for her 2013 Instagram Linky!
It has been quite a year and it’s wonderful to take the time to stop and reflect…via instagram {find me: @sparklinginsecondgrade}
Here are my top 3 highlights/faves from instagram this year…
1. Since the beginning of the year, I had wanted to start a blog. There were so many inspiring teacher bloggers out there and I wanted to join the fun. In April of this year I started my own blogging adventure. It has been fun to get to know so many other bloggers, share my ideas, and learn from others around the globe! I’ve had more fun in my classroom because this little bloggy here keeps me accountable to do bigger and better {easier and simpler too} things 🙂
2. On a more personal note, I got engaged to one incredible guy 🙂 Nothin’ better than that… {except maybe marrying him…}
3. Another personal note, we bought a house!
I have loved using instagram as a teacher tool: getting to know people, sharing my story, and gaining a ton of ideas! I have become a better teacher {and crafter} because of all the teachers on instagram.
Thank you!
I am also always on the lookout for new blogger friends to meet and stalk 😉 Simply in Kinder is hosting a great link to help you find all those fabulous blogs out there! Head on over and check it out, I’m sure you will find something/someone great!
I can’t wait to see what 2014 has to offer 🙂
Happy New Year!
