Greetings! My name is Kelly and I have been teaching for the past 22 years. I have spent 19 years in third grade and 3 years in fourth. I will be starting in a new fifth grade position this fall. Due to the numbers, my school was cutting classes and I volunteered to make the big move from elementary to middle. I will be teaching math and science. I am very excited about the change for many reasons, only two sets of standards, more content, earlier schedule, regular letter grade report card, block scheduling, team teaching, just to name a few of them!
My dream as a little girl was to grow up and become a teacher. I am happy that dream came true. I love my job and teaching. We may have challenging students and days, but every day is a fresh start. I feel that we need to be the positive influence in our students' lives. I find that teachers need to find new ways to keep motivated. Blogging has been one of the best ways for me. It makes me reflect on my teaching. I am happy that after 23 years I still like my job.
I have two daughters, Hannah (22) and Emma(19). I am proud of both my girls. My oldest will be teaching music this fall and the youngest is a sophomore in college. My husband Gregg and I have been married for 24 years….we booked our Anniversary cruise for spring school vacation. My family is very supportive of me and my job.
In my spare time I enjoy keeping healthy and fit, crafting, cooking, shopping, cruising, and planning.
