How to Write a Lesson Plan for Your Book
I'm so sorry I've ignored this blog for a month. Yikes! But as you know, I'm back to school in 1st grade. But I'm making up for it this month with 3 posts for the Grog blog, and I have something to post here later. Meanwhile, today I'm at the Grog discussing how to write a lesson plan for your book. Hope to join you there!

Back to School
My summer is over, and I'm back to school, this time as a first grade teacher at Uijongbu International Christian School in South Korea. My children and I just finished our first day, a successful-after-being-nervous-hardly-any-sleep night! Below is my classroom reveal with an apple theme of red and lime green colors. Definitely teaching and decorating a classroom overseas presents its challenges. I'm missing my old teacher stores from the states! But thank God for Teachers Pay Teachers and Pinterest! As a writer, I'm loving being surrounded by more picture books! I recently caught up on some reading such as Locomotive by Brian Floca, Back to School Splat by Rob Scotton, and hot off the press--Dr. Seuss' newest book, What Pet Should I Get? If you have some favorites I need to read, let me know in the comments!

Moving in Life
Our lease is up, and it's time for us to move again. But this move is different. I'm returning to the classroom to teach 1st grade at Uijongbu International Christian School. So we're moving to a city about an hour northeast of the Seoul area. Don't worry, I'll still write. I have to; it's my passion. And I'm still in various writing groups.
But please pray for us as we adjust to a new city, that my kids find friends, that we adjust going from homeschooling back to a traditional school setting, and for strength and energy for me. I'm much older than when I left the classroom.
I am excited to read all my writer friend's books to my students. And perhaps we can do Skype author visits!
Any advice for balancing a job, writing, being a wife and mommy?
We're heading to the beach this week and move into our new place on 6/8. Thanks!
