RedFern on Etsy!

So I’m doing what all teachers do on their summer break…attempt to figure out a way to make some “extra” money!

I started my teacherspayteachers site a few weeks back.  (http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Redfern-Teacher)

And today I opened up an etsy store!  So far, I have custom digital birthday invitations for sale.  Check them out…  http://www.etsy.com/shop/RedFernDesign

Happy summer y’all!  Looking forward to a weekend of shows (http://www.danieljustinsmith.com) with the husband (and kids), then we’re headed to the beach!  Can’t wait!!

The Beginning

My first blog post…what to write, what to write…
 
I’ve been wanting to create a blog for quite some time but it never seemed to make it to the top of my to-do list until tonight…at 10pm.  I have to be at school early for our last day of EOGs.  Yay!  So, not sure that tonight was a good idea but here I sit.
 
This will be my tenth year in education.  I began at a traditional K-5 school in the piedmont of NC.  I didn’t realize until later how spoiled I was!  An awesome first five years at an incredible school with amazing administration.  After moving “back home”, I accepted a position at an alternative school (for behaviors).  What a transition!  Lots of professional growth took place over the next few years with some very challenging students…all of which I would’ve taken home with me in a heartbeat!  (Well, except maybe one.)   😉
 
Currently, I serve as an instructional facilitator for my county.  I wear many hats but the one I enjoy the most is being a support for teachers with resources and curriculum.  Data also drives many of my days as I try to help others see the importance of using data to drive their instruction.  I do miss the kids but I am enjoying working with so many different, wonderful teachers!
 
And as with any job in education, there is never a dull moment!
Thanks for joining me on my blogging journey.
