This is my first attempt at a blog. My plan is to give you a little glimpse into my world. Topics may include: my family, my faith, education, books, recipes, etc.
Since this is the first one, let me tell you a little about myself. I am a 50+ (ugh that hurts to type) wife to a wonderful husband. Between the two of us, we have four children and one grandchild, my sweet Chloe. Chloe will definitely be the topic of many blogs. We have her quite a bit especially since it’s summer now. She’ll be staying with us most of the time as my son and his wife have a pool business and I have the next few months off. I am an Instructional Specialist at a middle school in Texas. Which leads me to another planned topic – education. I am a voracious reader and try to stay on top of the latest research in education. I am currently reading A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink and joining a Monday night Twitter Chat about the book. I’m learning “why right-brainers will rule the future.” Interesting stuff…I’ll share another time.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I sing in my church choir and teach middle school Sunday School. I am far from perfect, but I hope that my love for Christ and others shows in my life and my blog.
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8

All for now – until next time – keep loving each other!
Elaine
What does an instructional specialist do?

Jon – My title and what I really do are not necessarily the same thing :-). I’m supposed to work with teachers helping them to create engaging lessons with profound learning. I try to work that in when I can; I really do love that part of the job. I coordinate all state testing and function basically as a third Assistant Principal at a school with over 1120 students. Thanks for asking and following!
