3 - 2 - 1 Teacher Bio

 I am so excited to link up and tell you a little more about me! 

 

1. I love setting up and organizing my classroom. When I moved into my current room last year it was just like every other room I have ever moved into... completely empty! It takes many hours and a lot of love to get a classroom ready. At the end of this school year I moved some furniture around and took down this years theme. I can't wait to put up my new theme and set my room back up. Here is what my classroom currently looks like... 

2. This year I was so blessed to get 5 iPads donated to my classroom through donors choose. At the end of the year my school got technology money from the district, and they bought the second grade teachers 13 mini iPads and a teacher iPad. Wow! Our current iPad count is at 19 iPads! I am so close to being a 1:1 classroom! I love finding apps that engage students and get them so excited they don't even realize they are learning. Here is one of my favorite math apps called Number Run.

3. What girl doesn't love Pinterest!

1. I will have an Amazon Prime membership For-ev-er. Seriously! Phoenix just got next day delivery and it is amazing! My purchase this week was not a book but rather the erasable Frixion markers I have read teachers raving about. Oh my gosh these markers are awesome! Mr. Fancy totally didn't believe they would erase (because they write like a real marker) but YES they do erase, and they write beautifully! Seriously you have to own these markers!  

2. I could watch Cutthroat Kitchen and Chopped all day long... oh wait I already do... Oh summertime how I love you!

Okay Stop laughing! I just want to see one from far away, nothing close up or scary. I may just settle for this t-shirt!

About Me

Hey there! I am so happy you have stopped by my sweet little blog. My name is Tasa (rhymes with N.A.S.A.) and I am a second grade teacher in Arizona. 

I have been teaching for eight years, and have taught kindergarten- 4th grade. I currently teach in at an amazing school with great kids and wonderful parents. I am so fortunate to do what I love every day.

When I am not at school I am spending time with these two guys...

Frank!

 Frank is seriously the most loved dog on the planet! He is treated like an only child, spoiled little baby. Mr. Fancy and I got married in 2013. He is my best friend and my biggest supporter. We stay very busy between work, church, and decorating our first home. 

 Mr. Fancy is the name I have named my husband for the purpose of this blog. I think it suits him well. I am sometimes envious of him when his job allows him to eat at fancy restaurants for lunch, talk to adults during the day, and take trips. Not like trips to the zoo or aquarium, but the kind where his business pays for everything and he gets to stay in ritzy hotels. 

As tempting as those Fancy perks are I would never trade jobs with him. I love teaching and can't imagine doing anything else. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in the first grade. I loved my first grade teacher Mrs. Demonte so much... I dreamed about being in charge of her classroom and getting to write on her chalkboard with yellow chalk in the special chalk holder.

 Did you notice those construction paper cakes at the top of the photo? Love!
 

 Thanks for stopping by! I'm so glad you did!
