So don't expect me to be a blogger who logs on everyday and creates a new inspirational, witty post.  I just don't have time for that!! But I will post as much as possible.

The reason I created this blog is in response to a masters course assignment.  The class is Action Research for Educators. I thought I would hate it, I mean an entire 8 week course about research...BLAH!!! But, one day into the class and I was hooked! (I know I'm a dork!) So for this course we are creating an action research project (research that takes place within the classroom with the teacher as the researcher).  The project is a 24 week study. So my project is "How do learning centers affect literacy in kindergarten students?"  When I started my beginning research I came across several blogs where teachers had blogged and documented classroom centers.  So, I am going to take this opportunity to document the changes that are going to take place in my little kindergarten classroom over the next 5 weeks until school starts.  And then the effects of those centers during the year.  And of course I'll throw in my kids antics too :)

(One of my two year olds today told me "Mommy, I want to be grown up so I can go to college, drive a car, and chew bubble gum"   least he has his priorities in line :)
