Welcome: Meet Amy

Welcome to our blog!  I fall right in the middle as a third grade teacher.  I am currently in my fifth year of teaching.  Education is my second career.  I obtained my B.S. degree in Exercise Science and worked as an Exercise Specialist at a local nursing home.  After 3 years into my career, I decided I wanted to fulfill my childhood dream of being a teacher.  It was then I pursued a Master's Degree with Initial Certification in Early Childhood Education.  I was hired 1 month shy of graduating.  I was one of three new hires in my entire county!  I knew this was God's plan when I landed my first teaching job.  I taught second grade for 3 years and was then asked to loop to third grade.  I took on the challenge, faced the transition to Common Core, and embarked on the journey to earn my Specialist degree in Teacher Leadership.  After teaching third grade one year, I was asked to remain a third grade teacher.  
As of today, I currently teach math and science to an amazing group of third graders, serve as third grade's lead teacher, and I am a member of the leadership team for my school.  Also, I have recently been asked to be the county-wide representative for third grade math.  I love my job and my students.  It's my ultimate goal to make a difference in EVERY child's life that enters my classroom.  I have an amazing husband, a three year old son, a baby boy on the way, and a fur baby.  I look forward to this adventure into blogging with two of my very best friends!
