What do you do for fun?

Well right now Barnabee takes up all my free time!! When I am not 
dog training, I love movies, hanging out with my friends,
traveling, music and shopping at Target! I also bought my first
house in October of 2008 so I am always busy with new home
projects.

How long have you been teaching?

I am starting my 6th year of teaching...it has flown by!  This 
will be my fourth year teaching 1st grade and I have taught 2nd
grade for two years. I am currently halfway done with getting my
Master's at Concordia University in St. Paul. I have grad school
immediately after class on Tuesdays so Wednesday mornings are
hard for me!! I also have a reading specialist license K-12. I
am currently licensed to teach in North Carolina, Arizona and
Minnesota (I am not trying to get licensed in EVERY state but I
have traveled a lot! :).
