Welcome

I love watching a child learn. Their minds are so eager to learn. It is amazing to watch how they work through a problem to come up with a solution.  Children get excited about learning new things and love to show off what they know. As a teacher, I get to be a part of that learning process.

So, then why is this blog named "The Student's Path"? Why didn't you use apples in the name, or some combination with abcs or 123s or something like that?

I suppose I could have chosen a more traditional name, however, the world of education is changing and evolving. School isn't just a brick-and-mortar classroom, anymore. There have been many advances in technology and communication tools that have made it possible for new paths for learning. These new paths are revolutionizing education. So, I wanted this blog to foster that feeling of change and growth.















Also, all this talk of paths makes me think of hiking trails. As with hiking on a trail, learning isn't always easy. A child can experience curves and road blocks in their educational path. Sometimes it can be hard to know what direction to go. It can be helpful to have a guide to help you navigate through tricky terrain. I've been down this trail before. Allow me to be your guide on "the student's path".
