Many years ago, I posted a few pictures of my classroom on Facebook to share with my friends and family. One of those friends, Nicole (who is in her own right a FABULOUS teacher), commented on how I should start a blog. I thought she was crazy! Who would want to read about what I do in my classroom? Who would be interested in that?
Flash forward 8 years, and I am so thankful that she planted that little seed of encouragement. Like all great teachers, just her touch of confidence in me sparked a wildfire. And just like the photo suggests, you never know where life will take you.
Because of Nicole, and because of I Heart Grade 3, I will soon be able to add PUBLISHED AUTHOR to my growing list of accomplishments. That’s right! One of my blog posts caught the attention of a publishing company and they have contacted me to write a book for teachers. After careful thought and consideration, I have accepted their offer.
I can’t give you specifics about the book just yet but I will keep you posted about the process and, of course, the finished product. The book is set to be released in July of 2020.
In the meantime, I want to thank everyone who has supported me through this little blogging journey. Although I truly believe I make an impact in my classroom on a daily basis, it is so encouraging to know that my words, ideas, and opinions are making an impact around the world. Without all your support, encouragement, and feedback, this new opportunity would not be possible.
And for that I am grateful from the bottom of my heart.
Merci énormément, Nicole! 😘😘😘
