I am also a first grade teacher in the heart of Illinois, entering my 8th year of teaching at the same school. I am a "non-traditional" teacher, as I spent ten years working in the Community Health/Injury Prevention field. Making the decision to become a teacher was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It didn't come as a shock to my friends and family, when I told them I was going to go back to school to become a teacher.... as they said they always knew that is what I was meant to be. However, I will say working outside the world of education only helps to make me a better teacher, so I wouldn't change my career path for anything!
I am also an aspiring blogger and TPT'er! I can't tell you how many things I have learned following everyone out there. The blogging/TPT community is filled with so many great ideas and support!
I am a mom to a little girl, who hopefully will come to her forever home this year! I am the daughter of the greatest parents a girl could ask for! A sister/sister-in-law to my wonderful brother & sister-in-law, an aunt to the coolest 6th grader & 8th grader in the world, a teacher to 26 little firsties (that I am anxious to see tomorrow morning), and a friend to the best friends out there!
Join me tomorrow to see WHERE I teach!!!
To learn about more teachers....
