Meet the Teacher

Welcome to my blog!  I've been wanting to do this for a while now...  And I thought now would be the perfect time.  I'm always looking for a distraction from what I really need to be doing each night!!  I'm very excited about starting this blog.  I have been a loyal follower of many teaching blogs for a while now and I love to see what other teachers are doing in their classrooms.  I have used so many ideas and organizational tips I've found online. 

This is my thirteenth year to teach first grade!  I love it and can't imagine teaching any other age.  That's not to say that this time of year {every year} I question my job choice.  It's exhaustion like none other!!!   I come from a family of educators and married into a family of educators.  My mom is a former teacher-now administrator, my sister is a former second grade teacher, one grandmother was a fourth grade teacher, the other grandmother is a retired school secretary.  I married a high school football coach who is now a high school assistant principal.  His mom is a retired second grade teacher, his sister is a current second grade teacher-and get this-my father in law is the Superintendent of our parish!  Yes, I said parish-so now you know I live in Louisiana. 

My husband and I have have three little girls-Molly, our oldest, it eight.  Our twins, Lanie and Lindy, are five.  There is never a dull moment at this house.  We just got a brand new GSP puppy, Rudy, and he has completed our family.  I am very blessed!  Thank you for checking out my blog.  I hope you will find great ideas for your classroom and get a laugh every now and then from my crazy life!
