Welcome!

So...I love reading teacher blogs.  I could literally spend hours reading them.  There are so many wonderful ideas out there!  And, its nice to know that others face the same challenges that I do:) So, I decided to start one of my own!  I'm not going to promise that I will be good at keeping up with this, but I will do my best.  We will see....

Here are a few things that you should know about me.  I am married to a WONDERFUL man who is patient, kind, and listens to all my teacher stories like he is actually interested in them. We do not have any kids yet...the ones at school keep me pretty busy:) 

In my free time, I love to read.  I am a sucker for sappy chick lit!  I also really like to watch TV.  Some of my favorites are Law and Order SVU, anything on Food Network, Biggest Loser, and I am ashamed to admit....The Bachelor!

 I have been teaching for 5 years.  I have always taught 3rd grade. Third graders are a lot of fun.  They are at an age where they are can be independent, but they aren't too old to get excited about school and cute activities!   Although I may get a little stressed at times, I love my job.  I can't imagine myself doing anything else!  It really is so rewarding to watch children grow and learn. 

Well, there you have it....my first post! I am really looking forward to this blogging experience!
