Welcome to The Grade Two Zoo! I've been following some great teachers' blogs for awhile now and decided it was time to start my own. I can't wait to share ideas and continue to follow all the awesome teachers hanging out in "blog land". When I read about the "Meet the Teacher" linky party being hosted by Mrs. Carroll at The First Grade Parade (only my most favorite teaching blog!), I figured I should join. I mean what's a better way to kick-off a new blog than with some introductions?
So...here’s a little bit about me:
So...here’s a little bit about me:
This is my first year of teaching. I teach second grade and absolutely love my job.
That's me and my love! We've been together for a little over three years now and have two cute and mischievous dogs that keep us busy.
Brian and I moved into our house this past May (good-bye renting!) and are still busy renovating, remodeling, and decorating. We had to demo everything and start over, new siding and drywall, tearing down walls, the whole bit. It's been a long process.
The year 2010 was fun, busy, and fulfilling for me - I graduated from college, taught preschool for about six months, moved to a new house in a new town, and got my dream job! It's been quite the adventure - I'm hoping 2011 will be just as fun and maybe a little less eventful!

Tucker (with his most favorite toy EVER!)
Ellie (she's MUCH bigger now!)
There's Tucker, the shih-tzu and the newest addition to our little family, Ellie, the border collie. Despite being quite the odd couple, they get along amazingly well and LOVE to play together.
