Trying to make myself read...

First off, I swear I'm not getting paid to post back to back from The Kindergarten Smorgasboard.  But I'm constantly trying to force myself to read in my down time.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  But after seeing constant posts about The Kindergarten Smorgasboard's and Kindergarten Choas's book study on Mindset by Carol Dweck, I'm forcing myself on the bandwagon.  I have 3 chapters to catch up on.  Check out their recent blog post on Chapter 3 here.  There's also Facebook Live discussions and Periscopes done weekly on each chapter.

My husband and I leave for vacation tomorrow, so I can't wait to be a horrible passenger, ignore him the whole drive and read my new book!  haha They even have it on Audible, if you're into listening to books on tape.  They have a 30 day trial I might take advantage of this Summer.  

My favorite F word....

Love Kindergarten Smorgasboard!  Love Greg!  I've only been following his blog for a short while and I have already learned a TON.  I share his frustration in hearing people gripe about how Kindergarten isn't fun anymore, or all teaching is following standards, "I hate Common Core!" blah blah blah!  

No excuses people.  It is what it is and it's our job to make it fun and engaging.  Dance parties, sing a longs, Kidz Bop all day errday! haha No, but really....

Please read this if you find yourself or people you know falling into that negative rhetoric about countless mandates, standards and curriculum. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Here Goes Nothing...

First off, welcome! I came up with (what I think to be) SUCH a clever name about 2 years ago...and well...did nothing. Well, no, that's lie. I posted, deleted, got called corny by most of my friends, but recently finally decided to take some action! So, here I am! I contacted The Cutest Blog on the Block to help with my super cool layout and Hey Hey Designs! to come up with a graphic (is it possible to be jealous of a graphic? because I wished I looked that cool in real life?!) and here I am!

By the way, if you need recommendations for custom iStock images or blog layouts, Lauren from Hey Hey Designs and Corinne from TCBOTB are your girls!

Thanks for wasting time on my blog!  Here goes nothing....
