Anyone that has ever met me would tell you that I love projects; I love everything about them - the to-do lists, the task break-down, the thrill of finishing a project. That's why it shouldn't be a surprise that I'm ready to take on a new project: this blog! For the past two years, I have been haunting the education blogs of fellow colleagues and I figured it was time for me to try my hand at it.
This year will be my third year as a fifth-grade teacher in a small town in New England. I teach all subjects, but my favorite subject to teach is by far math. It's ironic because growing up, I HATED math. I have vivid memories of crying at the kitchen table, well past my bedtime, as my dad and I scoured out-dated math books (pre-Google, obviously) in an attempt to figure out my math homework.
I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I can remember. I graduated from college three years ago and was fortunate enough to land a full-time teaching job right away. It has definitely been an adventure juggling teaching full-time, graduate classes, extracurricular activities, a new puppy and being a new wife. I wouldn't change any of it for the world though!
So here goes another project, just in time for a new school year - bring on the coffee!
