What's new?

Wow! Welcome back to our class blog! It's been sooooo long since my last post. I have been away a while but, for good reasons. My excuses: #1. My entire summer and fall were taken over by the remainder of my graduate courses and, as of December 11, 2016, I am an official University of Alabama in Huntsville Master's graduate in Differentiated Education with a concentration in teaching English to speakers of other languages (ESOL). These classes consumed ALL hours of my summer days, fall afternoons, and absolutely every weekend. But, I earned it and am already a better teacher because of it.

#2. I'm pregnant! Mr. Scrivner and I are expecting our first child in July of this year. This has been the best surprise of my life but, has caused me to nap a lot more and blog a lot less. But, second trimester has added gained energy and renewed motivation.

Speaking of motivation...#3. I (and some amazing teaching buddies) have decided to embark upon the journey toward National Board Certification. This is a very intensive process and will indeed take up a large amount of my time and energy. However, I am excited to pursue this possibility.

After all of the busy times in 2016, I'm eager to start 2017 by posting updates and exciting news about what's happening in our classroom. Thanks for reading.
