Welcome!<\/p>\n
Welcome to my blog.\u00a0This is an educational blog written and edited by me, Jennifer Bairos.\u00a0 I’m a middle school core French teacher in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It may not be for everyone, but I sincerely love spending my day with 13-year-olds!<\/p>\n
When I was on maternity leave, I started to follow a few blogs and loved hearing the voices of these women sharing their tips, tricks, and thoughts on motherhood. I was, and continue to be, inspired by these women and wanted to join them by sharing my experiences with others too. And so, my personal blog, A Splendid Messy Life<\/a>, was born. For over five years, I’ve written about all things connected to my two passions outside of school: motherhood and reading. You can also find some of my published writing in the anthologies The Unofficial Guide to Surviving Life With Boys<\/a> and The Unofficial Guide to Surviving Pregnancy Without Losing Your Mind.<\/a><\/p>\n This year, I’ve been challenged by Cohort 21 to begin a teaching blog. I know the power of blogging as a reflection tool in my personal life, and I look forward to using it in my teaching life as well. On this page, I hope to share our classroom wins (and maybe some fails!) and ideas that may work for others along with my own questions about education.<\/p>\n If you have questions or comments, free to reach out to me at jbairos@montcrest.ca .<\/p>\n Thanks for visiting!<\/p>\n Jenn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome!
