Schools Out for Summer!

First let me welcome you to my blog. Thank you for stopping by! I am Tricia and I teach 5th grade language arts in a small town in Oklahoma. Next year will be my third year teaching. I found it difficult to come up with a name for my blog but love the one I finally decided on. The TLC part is a play on my initials. ;o)

Yes, school is out and let me tell you it is a glorious feeling! I love my job. I love my students. But after putting so much of myself into my career all school year long, the summer is always a welcome break to relax, rejuvenate, reconnect and of course, start preparing for next year. By the time summer is coming to a close, I am always ready to get back into the classroom and meet my new student family that will be with me for the next nine months. But I truly love my summer breaks. One reason I love them so much is because I can slow down and really delve into blogs, books, websites, magazines and anything else that I can get my hands on that will help me be a better teacher. I love learning new and better ways to do things. I also love developing my own original ideas to use in my classroom. Summer gives me the time to do these things.

I'm looking forward to my summer and spending time with my husband and my kids, relaxing and of course discovering all things teaching. I will share my favorite things here.
Happy Summer!
