Still interested?

I would like to hear more of your thoughts. I think it would be fun. I also teach 5th grade.

I would consider this! I’ll be teaching 1st grade this fall but am moving from a different grade label so I may be overwhelmed... Love the idea though so let’s talk more!

Maybe we could do school partnerships!

I teach 5th grade in California and would like to participate . I’ve had pen pals in the past. Will it be a yearlong commitment or tied to specific themes?

Yearlong!!

I’m definitely game! Maybe we should exchange email addresses and/or set up a shared google drive folder to brainstorm ideas?

Yea for sure ask...might also be ok/fun to do mixed ages too though. Give your older kids a chance to mentor my younger ones. And good reading/writing practice and purpose for all of them.

I just recently resigned my teaching position for a position in another state to be closer to family. I will be making a lot less money (about 1/2 as much). Am I crazy to give up a high paying teaching position that took me 12 years to get to on the pay scale or is being closer to my family worth the pay cut? Anybody ever found themselves in a similar situation? I gave up tenure too. Honestly, I wasn’t happy living in my home town making the most money I've made. I guess it’s a leap of faith!
