Fall Whirlwind Wow! What a whirlwind the past few months have been! I started drafting a post a couple of months ago on the Adobe Spark apps I utilize most (which I will finish and share) and haven't had a chance to even sit down and start typing or editing a post since! Quarter 2 has been hectic and chaotic but also full of great opportunities and new adventures! I've worked on several projects including running a book fair, hosting an author visit, continuing to work on getting our makerspace set, and being one of the leaders for our first one school one book experience while simultaneously tying that into the Global Read Aloud. GRA with my whole school was an amazing experience I can't wait to write about. I need to work on finding a routine time to blog, but that's tough with my two unpredictable and small kiddos. I will definitely backtrack as I can to talk about some of those things, but in the meantime... time to try out the makerspace! On and off the last two weeks and continued into part of next week, I've been bringing ELA and Humanities classes into the makerspace during their last library visits before winter break. As I've probably mentioned before, I like to be prepared, and I like to feel like at least a partial expert before I try to teach a lesson. But with the makerspace, I have to throw that out the window! As we've discussed before, you have to be willing to go out of your comfort zone, learn along side the students, be okay with not knowing all of the answers, and jump in!
