THING# 3 - Well, this is my first attempt at a blog, and I am glad I am doing it. I called my blog "Take a Deep Breath and Go!" because that represents how I feel about having confidence that I can effectively learn these new skills. It is funny how I can consider myself competent in many areas, and yet still hesitate in this area or convince myself before I even begin that I won't like it or won't be good at it. That is certainly not the attitude I want to model for my students, my own children, and I don't like feeling that way about myself. So, here I go!
