hello!

Hi all! I'm Alyssa. Welcome to my happy little slice of the web! 




I am a first time blogger, but avid blog reader.  Each morning I wake up, grab my coffee and oatmeal, and sit down with my iPad and Bloglovin'.  I read everything from fitness blogs, to teaching blogs, to, I don't know what to call them, lifestyle blogs?  Needless to say, my Bloglovin' is full each morning.  

So, why would I start my own? Call me crazy, but it sounds like a fun way to chronicle my life as a special ed teacher to the coolest little kiddos.  I'm also hoping it'll be a good way for me to keep track of what I do over the years and connect with other teachers and their great ideas!  That being said, I'm pretty busy already, so we'll see how this goes! 

So to explain that "pretty busy" thing. I teach a 2nd and 3rd grade mild/moderate Special Day Class in Northern California.  My kids are pretty awesome and I honestly love my job ...most days ;).  I had the privilege to roll up with my kiddos this year so I'm in year two with most of my students, which also means I'm learning to teach a new grade level! 

In addition to being a teacher, I am also a student.  I am currently enrolled in a master's program at USC to earn my M.E. in Teacher Leadership in Differing Abilities.  My classes are all online and pretty amazing.  I have "class" three times a week through a video chat platform and we have been able to delve into some really important and thought-provoking topics.  I'm sure some of that will pop up on here from time to time :) 




I'm excited to start this little adventure, as unknown and daunting as it may be!  Thanks for checking in and I hope you'll be back!
