Welcome to Langford's Little Learners!

Thank you for visiting Langford's Little Learners! 
After spending years anxiously waiting to become a teacher with a classroom of my own, I can't begin to tell you how happy excited ECSTATIC I am to have finally made it here. Having visited countless teacher blogs over the course of my experiences as an educator thus far, I realize teachers aren't the only ones who benefit from such a resource.

Here's why:

• I am a firm believer that parental involvement is an absolutely, positively crucial factor in terms of student success. I believe learning does not stop when the bell rings and the kids walk out of the school doors. In fact, learning never stops. So when parents are made aware of what their child is learning in the classroom, they have the opportunity continue these conversations at home and the learning continues. 

There's no doubt in my mind that all parents want their children to be successful. I haven't even had the opportunity to meet all my "Little Learners" yet, and already I can't wait to see how much they will grow and learn this year. I'm not yet a parent myself, but I do know that there is little better than the feeling that comes with witnessing my students make progress. There's no way for me to even describe it; so much joy overcomes me that it serves to confirm all over again that teaching is my passion and my calling. I want your child to succeed, and since I know you want the same I am striving to do all I can this year to keep you informed of your child's education. This is one of the intended purposes of "Langford's Little Learners".

• Life is busy. I know that some days it's all you can do to respond to look through all the emails, texts, missed calls, etc. (That's not just me, right?), and I know the thought of adding a classroom blog to the list of things to check on a regular basis can just seem like way too much. This is not my intention at all. All important information will be sent home in paper form. In addition, it will also posted to the blog. Whichever mode of communication you choose to use is completely up to you. I will, however, add additional content to the blog that will not be sent home otherwise (i.e. photos of activities, lessons, special events, etc.). This blog is intended to serve as an added resource made available to you, providing additional opportunities to become involved in/ aware of your student's education and school & classroom happenings. 

I will try my hardest to keep this blog as updated as I possibly can in order to provide you with the most accurate information and announcements pertaining to our classroom, F.E. Burleson, and Hartselle City Schools in a timely manner. If you are trying to reach me, I would suggest sending an email to my school email account to ensure the fastest delivery and quickest response, rather than sending a message through the blog 

Thank you so much in advance for sharing your little one with me. I am excited to see what this year has in store for Langford's Little Learners!
