I have to say, I have enjoyed being able to blog about my experiences in the classroom and doing so at my pace. No one is hovering, maybe someone is reading. But what next? Where do I go from here? How am I going to continue on my journey of discovery as a new teacher embracing new ideas?
As I look to how I am going to move forward, the thought of maintaining a blog seems a little scary, but also could serve as a means to reflect on my day/week/month/year. Now that we are quickly approaching the end of the year, I can decide what direction to take this in. Keeping this in mind, I've decided to take the Reflective Teaching - A 30 Day Blog Challenge for Teachers. I feel that this would be a good way for me to really take a moment and weigh in on how my year is wrapping up. Two years in the books...many more to go. I remember how I felt last year at this time, glad to almost make it through the first year of teaching. I don't feel quite as anxious but the stress is still apparent. This time it's a different stress. I am stressing about how to make the end of the year meaningful as opposed to "just making it." I feel this 30 day blog challenge will help me reflect, assess my direction, and adjust if I need to. So, after a short recess, I will start my 30 day blog challenge! Be sure to check back and see where it may lead!

I am so glad that you have decided to embark on the 30 day challenge! I think it will be exactly what you need to keep up with your blog and give you just enough parameters for future posts. Have fun!
