Meet the Teacher

This is going to be a crazy week.

We officially go back to work this week. Those days are crammed with things I don’t want to do.

I wish meetings immediately before the school year starts were done via email. If only I made the rules. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Blog Hoppin’ is filling this week with fun Back to School linky parties. That’s a nice distraction!

Today’s linky party is all about Meet the Teacher. This meet the teacher is going to be a lot easier than the sweltering meet the teacher I’ll be having at school on Thursday!

I don’t know that any of this will be news to any of you. I’m pretty sure I’ve shared all of these little tidbits here and there; But here are a few things about WHO I am.
I am a primary teacher through and through. My first year of teaching was Kindergarten. I enjoyed it, but couldn’t wait to have a first grade class. Over the years I have taught a 1st/2nd grade combo a few times. I REALLY enjoy 2nd graders. Their maturity makes teaching a lot easier! But my heart is truly in 1st grade.
My absolute favorite thing about teaching first grade is teaching reading and writing. I LOVE the growth we first grade teachers get to witness in our little peeps! 
Besides my lack of enthusiasm for 1st grade social studies, I definitely have a creative weakness when it comes to P.E. I have to admit that I have used GoNoodle as my PE for the day on many occasions.
Besides making just about anything on the computer, I really love all things tropical, outdoors, and usually water related. 
My family is small, but super fabulous and definitely my “everything”. My husband and I have been together since high school. 
We have a son and a daughter.
My son is amazingly kind, helpful, smart and hilarious. He moved out on his own this year. That was a huge growing pain for me! Luckily he works close by, so he comes by several times a week! ๐Ÿ˜‰
In addition to being generous, caring and also hilarious, my daughter is an incredible makeup artist. 
Now that the kids do their own thing… watching these two play has taken the place of hockey rinks and dance studios…
Besides here… you can find me a few places…
