Let's get to know each other!
Me
Hello to all! My name Cristy and I am a true southern gal! I have taught Kindergarten for 14 years. I LOVE my job! Luckily, I have the best team of teachers/friends that anyone could ask for. My friends always say that I should be an actress (I'm quite a ham). So if I can't be in Hollywood, I will take my acting ability into the classroom. It is not unusual to come into my classroom and find 'Mrs. Wishy Washy', 'Zero the Hero', Cruella DeVil (101st day), etc...
My family
My wonderful husband, Bryan, and I have been married for 14 years. We were high school sweethearts. God has blessed us with two precious sons, Gus (11) and Ethan (8 1/2). Last Christmas, we added another member to our family. Charley is our Labradoodle. He is spoiled rotten!
Some of 'the girls' enjoy a night out in Charleston!
When I am not with my family, you can find me stalking other teachers' blogs. Deanna Jump, Babbling Abby, and The Learning Parade are my heros! They are the ones who inspired me to start my own blog. If you ladies meet for lunch, I so want to be there (not to crash your lunch, but I am pretty fun!). Finding new ideas for the classroom is my passion. Now that my boys are a bit older I have just been accepted to begin working on my masters. Pray for me!!! My faith is VERY important to me. I LOVE JESUS!!! Thankfully, most of my close girlfriends attend the same church I do. Speaking of girlfriends, there is nothing better than some time with the girls! Be it a weekend or just a fun dinner, I treasure the time to bond.
I look forward to making new friends and sharing ideas. Thanks for visiting my blog! Now for a few more details about me:
