Meet the Teacher


I'm a second grade teacher and I love my job!  I'm in my 11th year of teaching, which I still can't believe.  Has it really been that long?  Time flies when you're having fun!  I have been very lucky to have taught second grade my entire teaching career, which is great because I don't know if I could teach any other grade!

I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher, but I took a slightly different route than many to get there.  I earned a BA in Art History after falling in love with that subject.  I also took several education classes simultaneously.  I thought maybe I could use that education to work in a museum as an Education Director.  Instead, I got a job working in law enforcement for five years (civilian). While I loved that job, it just wasn't where I was meant to be so while I was working full time in that job, I earned my MA in Teaching.  The rest is history!  

I am a wife, mama bear, and hard core shopper.  School supplies make my heart skip a beat, and I own an obscene amount of colored markers (but they sure are pretty and fun to use).  Coffee is my beverage of choice.  And, if I could eat bacon every day, I would.   Well, that, or chips and salsa.

I love to share ideas with other teachers, just as much as I love to get new ideas from other teachers.  I hope you find some of my ideas helpful and useful!  While you're here, be sure to check out my popular Monthly Round Up posts, plus these other popular posts

    1. Thank you! I actually use a low end HP inkjet printer and I am very pleased with its performance. Sometimes, I will send small print jobs to Staples to be printed. I usually do this when I am printing things that I intend to use as display pieces in my classroom.
