What is Elementary Happenings?

Elementary Happenings is here to keep educators, students, parents, and communities up to date on all things related to elementary school on a local (Orlando, Fl), State (Fl), and National level! The goal of this blog is to share ideas, news, events, activities that have worked or failed, and everything else that falls within the elementary level of education. This is meat to be an area that educators, parents, students, and community members can find resources regarding things happening at the elementary level of education. 

News travels fast these days, this is no exception for news regarding elementary schools, standards and practices. However, as news travels sometimes details are lost or misinterpreted. Elementary Happenings was created as a source that educators, parents, students, and community members can turn to, without fear of judgements or falsehoods, for accurate news and updates to all things elementary education related.  

Sometimes educators can feel a bit burned out, this blog is here to help prevent that. This is a space where educators can share ideas, themes, curriculum, successes, and failures without worry. We have rigorous standards on a local, state, and national level. These are great standards, but sometimes we hear the word rigor and think that fun isn't associated. Elementary Happenings was created to ensure that fun is associated with rigor. 

There are lots of exciting things happening in elementary education that you don't want to miss, stay tuned for updates...
