#teacherweek15- 5 Fun Facts

It is one of my absolute favorite weeks of the year...Teacher Week! I just love reading about others and their classrooms. So many of the ideas I get for my classroom are thanks to other great educators!  I know that I am a better teacher because of you all!

Today's theme is fun facts all about the teacher! 

one. 

This is year five of teaching and every year I have set up a new classroom. I have only taught in the same classroom once, but I had to pack up at the end of the year due to construction. You could say I am a pro at classroom set-up. I actually really enjoy creating a fun space for my students to learn in. All five of my years have been spent in the same district and on three different campuses. Here are some pictures from each of the past five years.

This was the same exact classroom as the year before but we had massive remodeling happen during the summer.

I spend my summers working at a summer camp. I literally leave for camp the day I finish school and I return the weekend before our inservice week starts. I just completed my third year as a the girl's camp director and I absolutely love it. My camp friends are for sure some of my best friends! Fun fact- I actually met my boyfriend thanks to camp!

three. 

Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday! I just love all things associated with it! My family has some fun Christmas traditions and I cannot wait to start my own traditions with my family one day soon! 

four. 

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a Capturing Kids' Hearts training and all I can say is life-changing. If you ever have the opportunity to attend one I highly suggest you make it happen. We created our social contract on Friday and they were so excited to live by it today. I cannot wait to see how this not only transforms my classroom, but my school and district too. 

 Don't worry...I already fixed my mistake. :)

five. 

I am a certified principal but I have yet to use my degree. My dream job would actually be working as a curriculum specialist in an elementary school and helping mentor new teachers. Who knows...maybe one day that dream will come true!
