I want to be a teacher

I have noticed that more of my loved ones are blogging and I just read an amazing book that started from a blog, so I thought I would join the fun. This blog will probably only be read by those who love me (Thanks Mr. L!) but I will tell my invisible readers a little about myself. I am working HARD to become a teacher. I graduated last year with my B.S. in Elementary Education and was unsuccessful in finding a full time teaching job. Currently I am a substitute teacher (kinda like 3 time substitute teacher of the year Peggy Hill only without the trophies).

I love the days I get to be a substitute teacher. You will never find me frowning on a day I get to hang out at a school. The best part is when I have a student run up, hug me and ask if I am their sub. (Makes you feel soooo loved.) My personal teaching philosophy is that everyone will learn and everyone will learn in their own way. I'm a big fan of differentiated instruction (for the two people who will read this that means instruction that is designed for the individuals in your classroom). The coolest moment of my career was when I saw Howard Gardner speak in person. For those of you who don't know who that is, he is like My Chemical Romance for teachers. He is the rockstar who created the Multiple Intelligence Theory.

In my free time I love hanging out with Mr. L (my hubby) and friends/family. You will find me reading, fishing/camping, or baking/cooking. Oh yeah! You will also find me relentlessly searching for a full time job. (Hince the blog.) Have a happy weekend my dear followers.
