Many thanks to sweet Amy at My Bright Bunch for nominating me for the One Lovely Blog Award! We recently met through Marie from Once Upon A Classroom and have been chatting through email. It has been a pleasure getting to know her, and she has a great little blog, so be sure to check it out!
I am very much a novice blogger, with my first post back in February. I never imagined what an amazing journey this would be! I have made so many connections with amazing teachers that I would have NEVER had the opportunity to, and for that I am grateful! The open hearts of teachers and their willingness to collaborate and create with other teachers is amazing! When I started this blog, I was invited by Christine from Autism Classroom News to join a Special Educators Bloggers Facebook group, which has been a blessing! I have met so many wonderful SPED teachers and have learned so much from them! I am also collaborating with some other SPED teachers in a book study for "10 Critical Components of a Special Education Classroom". These little things are some surprising aspects of teaching and blogging I never knew existed, but have become some of my favorite parts!
Here are some fun facts about me:
1. I am finishing up my 7th year of teaching.
2. I have taught K-6 students with Autism for those 7 years.
3. Prior to teaching, I was a Senior Therapist in privately and publicly funded IBI/ABA programs for 7 years.
4. I have two rescue dogs, Scout and Bailey.
5. I have an incredibly supportive husband whom I love dearly!
6. I recently started working out and doing yoga after a 2 year hiatus, and it has been tough! I am totally out of shape!!
7. I am currently trying the Whole 30 program (this was my first week)!
8. I am total Netflix binge watcher! My current fav is Bloodline.
9. My beverage of choice is tea! I love the Organic Strawberry Fields Green Tea from Steeped Tea. Oh and Chai Tea Lattes from Starbucks!!
10. I love to travel and go for weekend getaways. One of my favourite getaway spots is Niagara-on-the-Lake. It's so quaint with great wineries and the Shaw Festival!
