About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog! I am blessed to be a first grade teacher at a wonderful school in Jacksonville Florida. I graduated from the University of North Florida in December of 2009 and I have been in the classroom since January 2010. I am a Pittsburgh girl at heart but I have loved spending the last 8 years of my life in Jacksonville! I enjoy spending my weekends at the beach with friends, or reading a good book at home. Last year I adopted a puppy from the Humane Society and I couldn't love her any more! She is a hound mix named Leigha. She loves to take naps while I pinterest and do school work :)

Family Reading Night

There's an upcoming event we're very excited about hosted by Chick-fil-a. They are supporting the Read It Forward Jax program by donating 10% of proceeds the night of Monday, January 23rd. Students will be coming home with a ticket with our school name on it to take to Chick-fil-a when you go. I'll be eating at the Regency Park location (by the Chili's) Monday night around 5:45... hope to see you there! Full details below and more at http://www.duvalschools.org/readitforwardjax/
Thanks for your support :)

Upcoming Field Trip!

We have just been scheduled for a quick and fun field trip on the morning of Thursday Jan. 26th. We will be going to Douglas Anderson to watch a performing arts program put on by the students there. The trip costs $4 per child and each student will need to bring a bag lunch or purchase a bag lunch from school. I will be sending home the forms and permission slips as soon as I get them!!
