Change is VERY Good!

Change Is Good! Last school year, I accepted a reading specialist position in the same school where I taught first grade for the past 13 years. I wanted this position for quite some time, but I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive about interviewing for it. My inner voice went crazy with "what ifs", but I went for the position anyway. 

I just finished up my first year as a reading specialist, and I am SO glad I made the change. Every day has been (and continues to be a new adventure), but I love it. So, if you are contemplating a change, don't be afraid! 

Other than that major life change, some minor changes happened as well. The blog name changed to "That Literacy Blog". I also joined a literacy group called "The Reading Crew", and I decided to begin blogging again, beginning with a Summer Kick-off Blog Hop that will begin on June 19th and will last until June 21st. So, be sure to follow the link at the end of this post to visit another literacy-centered blog with great tips to prevent summer slide. You will then hop to more literacy blogs, each with great tips to prevent summer slide, a  chance to win a $25 TPT gift certificate and many FREE literacy resources! Be sure to check back and join the hop.
