It is the start of the semester and I am feeling excited. Coming back to complete my masters was a decision I thought long and hard about.

I have been teaching for several years now, the last 6 years at the same school in the same grade. This year I transitioned to middle school, at a new school, teaching completely new content.

For our first assignment we created short Flipgrid videos. I really enjoyed watching the videos and learning about what led others to join this program.
