We're BAAAAACCCCCCKKKK!

Hey everyone!

            It has been a long time since we have posted, sorry for our absence. A lot has happened in both our professional and personal lives! So, let's recap:

Chrissa: 

          Professionally Chrissa is still crushing it as a math coach in 6 different kindergarten classrooms in a public school in Brooklyn, NY. Those classrooms consist of general education,  ICT and a self-contained classrooms. She also runs a STEM classroom!

          Personally- she has the cutest little new ballerina

Stefanie:

        Let's start with personal :)
I had a baby! (Hence the absence. As many of you mothers out there know- pregnancy and newborns take a lot of time and energy. Here is my little man! I could not be more in love!! His name is Ericksen. He is such a sweet little guy

Professionally:
         After going from kindergarten to second grade ICT classroom last year, this year I am split into working in a 5th grade ICT classroom with 3 teachers and being the K-5 math coach for my school. I am still in the same lower Manhattan public school and couldn't be happier to accept this new position with excitement! For me, this is a new and exciting journey because I have always been a "literacy person." In fact,  literacy speciality is what I went to school for (my Masters is in Reading: yay BGSU!) I am confident in saying I am very knowledgeable and experienced in literacy instruction K-5. Therefore, continuing to develop my professional pedagogy with this math coaching position is a next step for me to become a stronger and an even more well-rounded educator. I am looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you!

What does this mean for our blog?

           You will get to see an even wider range of learning! We will continue to share our experiences, materials, ideas and resources with all of you. This will not only be limited to math learning but we will also sprinkle in some literacy and other curricular topics. We can't wait to get this started up again and hear what you think about our ideas & resources and get some more awesome ideas & resources from all of you!

Cheers,

Stefanie & Chrissa
