First post ... Oh, boy; here we go!

Starting my 5th year at CPS, I am excited to plunge into the year with brand new books!  Yay!  However, with new books, comes new learning.  Eek!  I'm am treading water pretty rapidly in order to stay afloat as we take off on this journey called the school year.  I'm not going to lie - I'm pretty overwhelmed with it all!

To accompany my learn-the-new-text-books-and-everything-that-goes-with-them anxiety; I'm also introducing and implementing for the first time, interactive math journals!  Started the Algebra and 7th grade journals this week - pictures to come!

So much to do and so little time!  I need two weeks of pre-service days rather than 3; to get me ready for the year!  Argh!  Let the roller coaster ride begin ...
