So today I am wrapping up my little "back to school" series! I am going into my sixth year in education this year. I have had quite the little journey over the last several years and have met some truly amazing people and the most fabulous kiddos. I thought it would be fun to reflect on the last five years of teaching. If you are a teacher, know a teacher, and especially if you are married to a teacher, know that you are appreciated and what you do is truly incredible day in and day out. I am praying for all of you as you begin a new year. Your students are so lucky to have you!!!
And now for a trip down memory lane...
My first teaching job was in Oklahoma. I taught first grade at the same private school that I went to for elementary! I also had the amazing opportunity to work with my mom! She is the elementary art teacher there. The thing that is so special about teaching is that you become so close with your teammates. I have been incredibly lucky in that I have had the privilege to work alongside some of the most incredible women!
After my first year, I moved to Texas (that's where my husband is from!) and taught first grade again. Another huge blessing in my life is that I had the opportunity to work under three amazing principals!!! Such inspiring leadership and devoted friendship.
So, to all of my precious teacher friends - I wish you a wonderful new school year! I miss you and love you to pieces!!!
I am thrilled to begin a new chapter this year working part time with third graders and working on my masters degree full time. Happy New (School) Year!
