Newbie Posting...

I'm a new blogger looking to explore this new tech world outside of my classroom. This summer I've been "stalking" teacher blogs and I've been bit by the blogging bug. I love blogs that inspire me to change or tweak my teaching style so I hope I can do the same. So here I am trying... My most important goal right now is to get this blog up and running. Trying to understand all this technical "mumbo-jumbo" (quoting my daughter) is not easy at all.
In the process I've been looking for Looping ideas. YES! I am looping after teaching first grade for 8 years. I've decided to move up with my "Buddies"- Hence the name of my blog. ( Couldn't think of anything else more appropriate at this time). I've gone mad, maybe... but it's exciting to do something different. Although, I did teach second grade for 5 years before I moved to first. I guess I like to flip-flop around my primary grades.  I do have to admit second grade is my favorite. First graders are a blast to teach but in the beginning they can be very dependent  (needy ;) of the teacher.
For now, I will be on a trial and error on the blogging world so please excuse my mistakes and monkey business I might get into :).
