Everyone is gearing up to get back to school - such an exciting time of the year!! Although it will be difficult to leave my two sweet children, and to be busy, busy, I know I'm excited for a new school year to begin.
I thought i'd start this year's blog with a post that shares a little bit about me - personally. We spend so much time at the beginning of the year getting to know each other, I know that students also like to get to know me!
I grew up in central PA with my older sister Taya and my mom. We were fortunate enough to grow up in a small town surrounded by close family! Once HS ended, I quickly left PA to head out to Northern CA for college. My dad lived in CA so it was nice to be closer to him. I graduated from Humboldt State University with a BS in Botany and then moved back east.
My husband Noah and I are high school sweethearts and were married in Vilcabamba, Ecuador in 2004. We have a dog named Hank, a 2 year old son named Sy and a 6 month old daughter named Poppy. I feel very blessed to have such a delightful family! :)
Some things I like to do for fun are: walk, yoga, shop, travel, eat, bake, and read. We live in a musical house - I play the violin and my husband is a bass player (and singer) in a band. Sy currently prefers to play the drums. We'll soon see what instrument Poppy enjoys the most! :)
I LOVE learning and teaching! I love to spend my days inspiring curiosity in my students and watching them grow as learners.
I'll hope to keep the blog posted as the year continues. Most often i'll post the classroom news, and eventually, I'd like to have students updating parents on what is going on in the classroom. Stay tuned!!
Thanks for reading.
Cara:)
