Confession: I know nothing about writing blogs...but here goes nothing!
First and foremost, thanks for reading my blog! I wanted to get started by introducing myself. Here are ten Interesting (maybe not-so-interesting) facts about me:
1. I grew up in the lovely state of Michigan. I still feel like a Michigander at heart, even if I don't live there anymore myself.
First and foremost, thanks for reading my blog! I wanted to get started by introducing myself. Here are ten Interesting (maybe not-so-interesting) facts about me:
1. I grew up in the lovely state of Michigan. I still feel like a Michigander at heart, even if I don't live there anymore myself.
2. I graduated from the University of Michigan.
3. I met my husband in college. Four years later, we got married and have been happy ever since.
5. We currently live in Ohio and I teach 7th grade language arts and social studies.
6. Teaching has always been my dream job. I love planning lessons and coming up with new ways to engage my students. That's part of the reason why I started this blog: I wanted to have a place to share my teaching ideas and to get new ideas from all of you.
4. I have a cat named Callie. She can be a pain in the butt sometimes, but I love her anyway.
7. I love reading young adult books. I like to say that I'm reading all these YA books because I'm a language arts teacher and it's part of the job description, but I know I'm not really fooling anyone. They're just really, really good books!
8. I am in the middle of writing my own YA novel. More details to come!
9. I love traveling and seeing the world. This last summer, we went to Italy, which was pretty much a dream come true.
10. I'm really excited to start this blog! Let me know of any blog topics you'd like to read. I'm more than willing to listen to your suggestions--I'll see what I can come up with!
