Two year ago, I started this blog with the intention of sharing my technology knowledge. About a month and a half later, I was hired to teach 5th grade math, science and social studies and around November 2017, I let my blog go by the wayside. You may ask why the change in the blog name? Well, right when I started my blog, I also joined the Teacher Instagram community and a year later moved schools, districts and grade levels (even cities) and began teaching 4th grade math and science. As I've reflected on who I am as a teacher, what I value and how I've grown as a teacher, I've realized I wanted a more reflective name. I am a huge fan of using flair pens and am an avid coffee drinker, so the name Flair Pens and Lattes was born this past spring (originally done to be the name of a TpT store, but I do not have the design knowledge to sell products on Teachers Pay Teachers yet).
After attending the National Get Your Teach On Conference in Dallas and connecting with amazing educators who just get me and have the same passion for teaching I do, I knew I wanted to share more. I remember Rachel Hollis asking us in her keynote to think of a goal we had. I couldn't think of one until just a couple of days ago when I remembered how much I loved writing and wanted to write in some fashion. It was at that moment, I knew I had to revive the blog as I begin prepping for this upcoming school year and another class of wonderful fourth graders. I'm so excited to share all things teaching (and some technology too!)
