    Glad I'm Not a Pioneer Girl

    With a couple of weeks of school under our belt, we are back and ready to talk about a childhood favorite: Laura Ingalls Wilder. Thankfully, we don't live on the prairie, but we sure love reading about it! Her new novel Pioneer Girl is not suitable for children which makes us want to read it even more! Other topics of discussion include eating real food, The Great Gatsby, and the amazing Burris family! Really, we are all over the place this week, but I blame it on the heat.

  4. Happy New (School) Year!

    Happy New (School) Year!

    It's that time of year again.   Classrooms are freshly dusted and new posters are laminated.  It's the beginning of August and it's back to school season.  For teachers and parents, it's the most wonderful time of the year. For us, a new school year is a time to re-evaluate philosophies and ideas and evolve into better teachers than we were the year before.  It amazes me how much I grow as a teacher each year; spending time in reflection and constant learning is an integral part of a teacher's summer vacation.  We need to decompress,  yes, but we also need to set new goals, gather new data, and plan for the new year.  In episode 9, Jennifer and I will share our goals for the upcoming school year.  It's short and sweet because, quite honestly, we were exhausted.  But we showed up and did our best just as we expect our students to do. As always, we would love to hear from you.  If you're a teacher who has his or her own goals for the upcoming school year, please share them with us.  You can find us on Facebook @ Sassy Schoolmarms; email sassyschoolmarms@gmail.com, or leave a comment below.
