Meet the Teacher

I'm home sick today with Reagan, so thought I would take some time to catch up on blogging! I saw a lot of my teacher/blogger friends doing this "Meet The Teacher" blog so I thought I would join in!

Meet The Teacher

I am a 29 year old wife, mother, and teacher of 6 years. I have lived in Arizona all of my life. I went to Arizona State University and graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education. At ASU I met my husband Nick (he was president of his fraternity and I was president of my sorority). This March will be our 5 year wedding anniversary. We have a 22 month old son Reagan. I never thought I would have a son (such a girly girl) but I am sooo in the world of Buzz and Woody, football, Elmo, and trains! Who would have thought? These two boys are the loves of my life!

After graduating in December of 2004, I subbed for a semester. I subbed pretty regularly at one school. I interview one afternoon after subbing and the principal offered me a kinder of first grade position. I really hit it off with the first grade team, so I accepted that position. I have been teaching first grade at this same school ever since. This is my sixth year in the same classroom, same school. I have become great friends with the girls I work with. I LOVE IT! A year ago I finished my Masters in Elem. Ed and got my reading endorsement.


Now for the Q & A
