Hello

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is looking forward to participating in this book study, I know I am. Our first blog is very simple, we will blog about ourselves. I know we all work together and we all know each other, so as an ice breaker, everyone must tell a goal you would like to achieve in the next year or two or the next week or two.(It does not have to a big thing. Just something you want to complete or accomplish).

Greetings to all. I am Kimberly Hunter-Neal, a 3rd grade teacher at Robinson Elementary. I have many goals, and my goals are constantly changing. They change for various reasons: the situation itself, time expirations, motivation or the lack of, frustration, and people. But, be as it may, my goal for the time being is to try to accept people as they are and realize that respect, just as poverty, is relative.

Hello everyone, I have been trying to get this posted but it seemed like it was against me? (Smile) Anyway, this is Mrs. Brandi Harris and I look forward to great discussions relating to this book. Once I picked up the book it was so intersting that I was on Chapter 6 before I noticed. (I was in the ER with my son, you know that takes forever!)

Greetings from the slow-poke in the back of the class! My name is Charissa Rolfe, and I am a proud teacher of 5th and 6th grade special education students at Robinson. Although I have been snail-like in attending to the blog, I finished reading this book way back when! It has been very informative, and I am always anxious to learn all I can to be and to create the most for my students. Like many of you, I believe that I have been called to teach at Robinson.
