Here I Go--Jumping in with Both Feet

Welcome to my new blog! 

I have been doing research for months now and really want to get more involved with fellow teachers who share some of the same dilemmas and have such great solutions. My name is Pam Walker and I have been teaching for more years than I can count with all of my fingers and all of my toes. I have spent my time at the primary elementary level. I am currently in second grade, which has easily replaced my first love of first grade. I have a wonderfully supportive husband and grown son. I know you will hear stories about them in future blogs.

I'm giving up on trying to get very fancy at this point in trying to get my blog up and running. Coming up with a name for my blog and future TPT store has been taxing enough. I've had to learn my technology skills in "The School of Hard Knocks", since computers were room sized when I went to college. I hold my own and I've learned so much this summer; but I am certainly open to any tips you care to send my way. YouTube is wonderful but I can't call out any questions to clarify. I've been falling into the "black hole" of Pinning--you know the one I mean...you sit down to peruse Pinterest and get swallowed up...the next thing you know...hours have gone by and you've had so much fun. However, I've spent additional hours tackling many of the cool things I've seen pinned there; but I still have a huge list of want-to-dos or want-to-buy.

I made it to my classroom today--everything clean but against the walls and pretty bleak looking. It was certainly good to get rid of a few piles in the dining room. Now that those are gone, I'll have to do a bit more cleaning...maybe a lot more. I did get a couple of neat things made that I will share in my next blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by and please look for my goodies on TPT in the near future.
