Becky and I met 9 or so years ago when we started teaching fourth grade together. I had spent three years in 3rd grade, still considering myself a newbie and Becky had been in fourth grade for a year. Both of us where still pretty "green."
Fast forward about 5 years, we now both have our MA's and are Reading Specialists, we are both National Board Certified Teachers, we are both mothers and seasoned teachers. But amongst all that, true BFF's were born! We have been thick as thieves for the last four years and do just about everything in tandem with the other! Fast forward another three years and the Becky half of the BFF's decides she needs a change of pace and moves to first grade. POOF!!! Becky is now on the primary end of the building leaving me, Tobi, holding the bag in the intermediate wing. And then the idea came and...Best Friends Literacy is born.
Best Friends Literacy is the best of primary and intermediate literacy methods and practices. We will rave on about what works and rant about what doesn't. We will find the best out there in the literacy world and bring it to you. We encourage your thoughts and comments as this blog grows. So as the title says, "You gotta start somewhere..." Ready, Set, GO!!!
