New School

   I cannot wait to start sharing all of the teaching tips! I hope that you will follow along with me while I start at my brand new school!

Morning tubs have been by far the best thing I have done in the mornings with my students. There are no worksheets to copy. Or grade. Or hand out. Or to give assistance.
