3-2-1 Teacher Bio {Weekend Warriors}

I'm so thrilled to be linking up with the Weekend Warriors again, especially because I’m ON TIME this month. #thankyousummervacation We wanted to get to know each other better, so we’re sharing all about ourselves this time around.

Here we go!

1 | Last year I made the move from second grade to first. I was definitely comfortable in second, but I have enjoyed the experience of teaching first grade. It has definitely been more of adventure than I was anticipating. I had a challenging student for the first half of the year. This made the adjustment to my new school and grade more difficult, but I took it all in stride because I was so thrilled with my new school site. It’s not Disneyland, but I have such a supportive administration, staff and team.

2 | My favorite part of the day is math time! It’s always so fun to see the connections that students make and to create fun math activities. Many of my students often shared that their favorite part of the day was math stations. I recently attended professional development on Cognitively Guided Instruction and will be trying it out next year. I’m nervous, but excited at the same time! It was great to hear teachers share how their students have grown as a result of changing their instruction.

3 | Although some teachers might not like a noisy classroom, I think it’s great! I’m not talking packed auditorium loud. But I do enjoy a buzz of chatter and giggles.

1 | I have a collection of “art supplies” that is out of control. I used to sketch, but lately I’ve only made time to doodle in my planner. I recently purchased two fauxdoris from Cakepaperie and am beginning to use them as a creative outlet. I’ve got watercolor pens, ink pens, gel pens, sharpies, stamps, and color pencils.

2 | It’s hard to admit this… I’m a couch potato at heart. I really enjoy staying home and hanging out on the couch. It’s terrible, but I’ve slowly gotten my husband to enjoy staying in as well. I LOVE LOVE chillin’ on the couch and watching Netflix or anything on our DVR. Oh yeah, we DVR a lot on shows. Some of my favorite summer shows are Master Chef, Big Brother, and So You Think You Can Dance.   

I love sharing my ideas, but I get so nervous talking to a group of grown ups. Every time I’ve presented or shared with my colleagues at our faculty meetings I’ve turned red thanks to my nerves. My husband has presented at numerous professional developments at the university where he works and national conferences. I would love to be able to do the same with just as much confidence.

We want to know more about you too! Share in the comments or use the images to link up with us. Make sure to link back to this post. ^_^ I look forward to hearing from you!
