A Brief Introduction

Hello! My name is Katy, and I currently teach 2nd grade. This year will be my 5th year teaching elementary education! I have taught 2nd grade most of the time, with one year in a departmentalized 3rd grade classroom teaching math & science and 2 weeks in a 1st grade class (low enrollment). My goals for blogging about my experiences in the classroom are to not only help myself keep up with all the great things I love about my job, but to hopefully inspire others to teach beyond the textbooks and worksheets! This is where I truly fell in love with my job!
