I first want to thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. My name is Jamie and I'm a sixth grade teacher in North Carolina. I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. I received my undergraduate degree in elementary education and took my first job filling in for a maternity leave for sixth grade math and science. During this time teaching I quickly realized I didn't know what techniques to use for students with disabilities. Instead of signing my contract for another year I decided to take a break to get my master's degree. I majored in Special Education with a minor in Emotional/Behavior disorders. Graduate school was one of the best experiences of my life and I loved learning how I could better teach students with disabilities. I finished my degree in a year and last year I took my first full year position teaching sixth grade language arts and social studies.
My first full year of teaching was full of learning experiences and looking back I can point out so many mistakes that I made. However, I am not discouraged, I am thrilled at the opportunity to teach the same grade and subjects again. I also will be our middle school's cheerleading coach this year. Last year I coached during basketball season, but this year it is all me. I have a lot to look forward to when school starts in the fall, and I can't wait to share it with everyone.
Fun Facts about me:
- I am a Christian, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, teacher.
- I love crafts, trying new projects and pinterest!
- I'm a NCSU graduate & Wolfpack fan all the way!
- You can find me at Harris Teeter with my coupons.
- I'm a southern girl and love to be outdoors.
- This year I'll be incorporating Whole Brain Teaching, The Book Whisperer & Teach like a Pirate in my classroom.
