About Me

All About Me
My name is Angie and I'm a 4th grade teacher. I have spent the last 17 years working in a classroom, however, just completed my first year as a licensed teacher. I taught preschool and worked as an assistant to the teacher and loved every minute of it! A few years ago, I was diagnosed with Triple Negative breast cancer and once my treatment was done, I sat on the beach and made the decision to return to school to complete my degree and become a teacher. 2 weeks later, my school system began a program to put their assistants through school for their degrees. I jumped at the chance and here I am. One year down and many more to come. 

I have 4 beautiful children and I am a soccer jersey washing, spares and strikes watching, 5 k cheering, dance mom. On top of that, I am married to a wonderfully supportive husband and go to school in the evening to work towards my Master's. My schedule is pretty crazy, but I do love it. This blog is a journal of this journey. I welcome feedback as I try to gain a strong foot in the classroom.

I love to read and shop and my favorite place to be is on the beach.  I thought about bringing the beach into my class, but I think I just want to keep it separate for now as my own little oasis to escape to. My favorite sport is soccer and I'm a Manchester United fan and DC United fan. Second would have to be football and I'm a cheesehead through and through!!

There will be changes to my class this year as I work through a new reading program and want to try a few new things that I hope will be successful. This year is going to be full of challenges, triumphs and I'm sure failures. I just hope that I can continue to grow from them all!!
