Welcome

Welcome to Teacher Times Two ~ my new blog dedicated to newish teachers who could use a friend along the way. I'm a wife, a mom, and a teacher... and I was right where you are not so long ago. Teaching is the most rewarding job in the world, but it isn't always easy {especially when you're just starting out}. I hope this blog will become a place where you can come for a lot of great ideas, a little inspiration, and maybe even a recipe or two.

I think a good way to get started is to share a few things about myself...

•  I do not like heights. In fact, I'm scared to death of them. My worst experience so far this year was standing on the top step of a ladder to hang word wall letters. Never again!
• My very first teaching position was co-teaching in a tiny classroom with 38 students. Fortunately, my partner teacher happened to be my best friend since second grade. Who could be so lucky?
• I cannot whistle.
• I knew my husband for 20 years before getting married. It was worth the wait!
• Math was my worst subject in school but I LOVE teaching it. Maybe I should move to high school so I can do math all day long!
• I would love to raise chickens for fresh eggs and have a pet pig. I'd name him Kevin Bacon.
• I hate cherry tomatoes. Worst food on earth!
• I have lived in the same place all my life.
• Before becoming a teacher I worked as a nanny, a job placement specialist at a mechanic school, and a waitress.
• Wow, ten things is hard. Apparently I'm not as interesting as I thought. (Does that count as number 10?)

That's me in a nuteshell. Thank you for stopping by my brand new blog! I hope you'll come back soon.
