I know that Thanksgiving has come and gone, but with so much to be thankful for it seemed to be the perfect time for my first post. Welcome to "I'm Just Saying..." My name is Melissa Boyd. I currently teach first grade in Winston-Salem, NC. I have spent the last 25 years teaching first, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade. I am married to a seventh grade science teacher. I know, right?! We try not to talk "school" at home, but have not been very successful. I have two wonderful boys. Jack is 17. He is a HUGE Springsteen fan and wants to be a paleontologist. Sean is 12. He has a great sense of humor. We call him our "cartoon." We all live with a Yorkie named Max, a Chiweini named Slinky, and a fat cat named Ju-Ju Bee. So very much to be thankful for. I'm just saying...
