= Hi! You all know me as Mrs. Nolan :) =

It may seem silly to introduce myself to you but that is one of the really fun parts about learning online! You will have a chance to introduce yourselves also.

This is a picture of me at Chiechen Itza, which is a Myan temple in Mexico. This temple was built thousands of years ago and is truly incredible. I learned a lot when I was at Chiechen Itza and hopefully I will be able to teach you more!



= I want to tell you some things that I love about teaching:  =
 * 1) I get to help kids like you every day! I especially love it when a student has a "light bulb" moment and they understand a new idea we are talking about
 * 2) I have always loved to learn new things, and everyday students teach me new things!
 * 3) The thing that I like the most is that I get to try to ways of teaching everyday so I make sure that my students love to learn!

The # 3 reason from above is why I decided to try using a wiki for some of our class discussions. It certainly will be fun and interesting and I hope all of us, including me, will learn a lot along the way.

**What will we be using the wiki for????** Is anyone wondering this same question??? Well it really is a great question. On the right hand side of the screen you will find all sorts of links to other pages that are part of this wiki. We will use these other pages to have discussions about a few of the books we are reading in reading class.

It is really as simple as that!! This will be our tool to talk about the information we read in different books.
