Welcome!  The definition of the word "elementary" includes the words "straightforward and uncomplicated."  That's me.  And this is the start of my professional blog, which will also be as straightforward and uncomplicated as possible.  I will share good articles I find, books I've read or want to read, lesson plans, thoughts on the education world at large, and occasionally a snippet from "The Big Bang Theory" or "The Walking Dead".  I don't know everything.  Not even close. But I love to learn.   I just know I want to be a better educator and I want to do more. I will ask questions and hopefully together we can find the answers.

 So here we go!  Let's tough this teacher life out together!
