All About Me

Welcome to Laughing In Second! 

I am going into my first year of teaching second grade for the 2014-2015 school year. I've taught second grade before but never in my own classroom. I graduated in 2006 from Bowling Green State University. I substitute taught for three years (including 2 long term substitute positions). I then spent a year full-time as a title I teacher. Due to funding and a building closure my position was eliminated. I went back to subbing. I then got a half-time position teaching Title I for 4th grade. It wasn't so bad because I was going back to school at the time. Then the man I was dating (now my husband) took a transfer for work and I moved with him to Columbus. I got a job as an educational assistant that luckily turned into a long term substitute teaching position. This past year I was an intervention specialist for a special education unit. Now I am headed to second grade!

I am licensed to teach lots of things so I hope my knowledge will help me with second grade and with blogging and other things. I have a license for PK-3, 4/5 endorsement, Gifted K-12 and Intervention Specialist (Mild/Mod) K-12.

Speaking of the husband. I just got married this June and have a husband and two stepsons who keep me very busy. We leave for Hawaii next week for our honeymoon :)
