So excited to be moving BACK to 3rd grade! After this school year, I have officially taught first, second, third, fourth and fifth grades! Third is by far one on my Favorites (probably my absolute favorite---shhhhh- don't tell anyone.)
Matt, Sarah, Conner, and Grace are all pretty important in my life. Matt is my husband of 20 years, and he is a wonderful craftsman. He creates some beautiful things out of wood. Sarah will be a sophomore next year at UCHS and wants to be a pediatrician. Conner will be in 8th grade at UCMS, and Grace will be in 4th grade at UCES. Our family leads an extremely BUSY life, much like yours, I feel sure. So if you are in my class, we will lead busy lives together next school year, and I promise we will have LOADS of fun along the way!
Barking, chasing, and overall loving at our house comes from none other than: our rescue pet, Nick, a red-bone hound dog. We also have a Shetland pony, Sweetie Pie. I sometimes think that she is secretly an escape artist/ninja spy, as we often get calls from the neighbors to say that she is visiting their house! We also have a seasonal army of frogs that come to live in my small garden pond. They are not totally welcome, but they come each year anyway. Also, I am holding out hope for chickens, because I really, really, really want chickens. Anyone have chickens that they want to give away? Just Kidding. Kinda.
During my free time (hahahaha), I love to read and go camping with my family. I am currently trying to learn how to crochet and knit. I am all thumbs but have hopes of making a scarf.
I hope you are trying something new also! You never know what you may be good at until you try it!
I hope you have, are having, or had a great summer (depending on when you read this.)
Looking forward to the BEST 3rd Grade Year Imaginable!
