Tuesday Tell-All!

Well... Maybe not ALL...

It's time for the second day of the Freebielicious linky party!

So, here are some things about me:

1. I teach 1st grade at an AMAZING school. My school family is so supportive and so committed to always striving to learn and grow and be the best teachers they can.

2. This is only my 4th year teaching #babyteacher meaning that I love to frequently remind all the veteran teachers of my youth. They love that.

3. In college I firmly believed that I ONLY wanted to teach upper elementary. When I got my student teaching placement, which was for 1st grade, my professors laughed. Out loud. In my face. Turns out I love, love, love first grade!

4. My student teaching placement was overseas in Heidelberg, Germany on Patrick Henry Army Base. The base is now closed, but it was the best 4 months spent teaching and traveling!

Trying on clogs on a trip to Amsterdam! I am wearing the pink scarf.

5. I am married to my high school sweetheart. Our 2nd anniversary is coming up at the end of July.

6. My husband and I have an adorable pit/lab mix named Ellie. She is a medium sized dog, but weighs 62 pounds because of all her muscles. She just turned a year in May and is now learning how to be naughty. I have quite a few pictures of her on my Instagram (jolly_rogers3) and Facebook, but none really on my computer. She's super duper cute, though!

7. I am terrified of heights. As in, I almost blacked out when I stepped out on to the Sky Deck of the Sears Tower. Never repeating THAT experience!

8. I-I-I I work out! I am officially addicted to Pure Barre. BEST. WORKOUT. EVER. I am over halfway to my 100th class and cannot wait to put my name on the barre!

9. I have a serious sweet tooth. Chocolate, candy, cupcakes, pie, whatever I can get my hands on that's sugary...

10. Dinosaurs are my favorite animal. My classroom is dinosaur themed. Do you know how hard it is to find dinosaur classroom decor!? So I also use lots of fun neon colors.

That's it! Link up and share about you!
