I taught Kindergarten for a long time. I named myself The KinderGarden because I always admired the work that Friedrich Froebel did in his creation of Kindergarten which was, literally, a "children's garden". I STILL admire the work he did, which is why I considered leaving myself as TheKinderGarden.
I've struggled all summer with it though. It just doesn't feel 'right' now that I'm moving to 2nd grade. I felt like I needed something that was more encompassing so I asked my facebook fans for ideas of new names. I asked back in May. One of the names- Primary on the Prowl- has sat at the back of my mind. Festered, you could say. It won't go away.
So I'm embracing it. I love the way in encompasses all of the primary grades. I love how the word 'prowl' makes me picture myself slinking all things education, looking for the best. Plus, I LOVE animal print! I can't wait to redesign my blog (ok, seriously, I'm going to pay someone to redesign my blog) with an animal print theme! However, IF I ever get tired of it, I can switch to a different theme and still be 'prowling through primary'.
I have some new things I'm embarking on so I wanted to do the name change before then. Today, I'm going to be designing a business card to send with Michele Luck for a couple conferences in the fall. I also wanted to get everything switched over before school starts.
If you have ever switched your brand, I would love to hear how it went! Also, if anyone has done a conference with Michele I would love to hear how it went for you!
