MckLinky Blog Hop


Hello blog hoppers! I am joining in the on MckLinky fun. I hope I am doing this the right way.....

Introducing Sneaker Teacher!!
I am a teacher and doctoral student who loves to blog about teaching, education, being a student, fitness and other happenings in my life. I taught first grade for the past three years, taught preschool in a bilingual Head Start before that and I am about to move to Germany with my husband in a few weeks where I will start work at an International school as a teacher assistant in the third grade. I hope you will follow my adventures as a teacher in a foreign country as I am sure it will be an exciting ride!

My favorite photo would have to be this one of my niece Alyssa. She is almost 6 months old and absolutely adorable. She lives in CT with her daddy ( my brother) and her mommy (my sister-in-law) and is basically the love of everyone's life. I got to see her when she was about 2 months old and I can't wait to see her again at the end of the month! She looks just like my brother did when he was a baby, but every once in awhile a photo captures her in a moment where I think she looks like me.

She is too cute!

Okay I have to add another photo because I also love this one. This is me trying to take my students to the bus on the last day of school. I have posted this picture before, but every time I look at it I smile because that was the longest best hug I have ever gotten! Shortly before this photo was taken some of my students told me to close my eyes while they wrote on the board in the classroom:

"We think you are the best teacher in the whole world!"
