Can you believe that it is about to be back to school? I get to meet my 41 firsties on Wednesday night (I am team teaching and do not have 41 kids in my class at one time, don't worry) and I cannot wait.
I have been on a bit of a blogging hiatus due to my summer job, but I am excited to get back into the groove. What better way to do that than Blog Hoppin's Teacher Week!
My name is Katie and I am an almost 26 year old who is about to start my 4th year of teaching. I truly believe that teaching is a calling and I am one of those people that are lucky enough to get to do what I love each and every day.
Here are the top 10 things that you need to know about me.
One. My first two years of teaching were spent teaching 6th grade Language Arts. I definitely know that being an elementary teacher is what I am supposed to be doing. It for sure takes a special person to teach middle school. I loved it, but I love first grade even more.
Two. I have known pretty much my entire life that I wanted to be a teacher. Everybody else in my family does something medical related...not me!
Three. I have my Masters Degree and one day I think I would like to be a principal. I am already certified to do that, but I still like the classroom too much at this point. I also think being a curriculum specialist would be awesome too.
Four. One of the things people look forward to most about being a teacher is summer break. I spend my summer working as a camp director at a camp that I attended as a child. I leave the day after school is over and I returned on the 9th. I got a total of five days of vacation but I would not have it any other way.
Five. I currently teach in the same school district that I attended and graduated from. It is strange working on the same campus with some of my teachers that I had in elementary school.
Six. In the spring I coach club volleyball. This upcoming spring will be my 9th year to do so.
Seven. This school year I get to team teach with an awesome friend of mine. I am going to be teaching Math, Science, and Social Studies and she will teach all of the Language Arts. I cannot wait for this experience and I know that I will be a better teacher because of it!
Eight. I have an awesome set of parents and one sister who is 18 months younger than me. I think that they are pretty darn awesome.
Nine. I am a reality TV junkie and you can often find me catching up off the DVR. I love Big Brother, Dance Moms, Survivor, Amazing Race. I cannot believe that I just admitted that.
Ten. I am so blessed to have some of the best friends that a girl could ask for. I am not sure what I would do without them.
I hope you will join in on the fun and I cannot wait to get to know all of you!
