Teacher Week: Meet the Teacher

Meet the Teacher Monday

1. I am Katie. I teach 5th grade Math to all the 5th graders at my school. This will be my 5th year teaching in 5th. Previously, I taught 4 years in 4th grade teaching just about everything. Gosh, it just hit me how OLD I sound now. This is my team that I love to pieces.

2.  I have wanted to be a teacher since I can remember. I was THAT kid who took all the teachers old worksheets home and played school all night. Oh, and it was like Christmas when they would give me blank "Progress Charts" which is what they would keep all our grades on. When all my friends were probably asking for Nintendo's for presents I was asking for chalk holders and lesson plan books.

3.  I am an Oklahoma girl 'til the day I die....but I was offered a great job in Texas that I couldn't turn down...so now I'm an Oklahoma girl, living in Texas. I literally found out I got the job, drove home and had 3 days to pack up and be back down here...for good! It was a hard adjustment at first and I was as homesick as someone can be....but I love it now.

4.  I wear a lot of hats at my school. Other than being a 5th grade teacher, I am the Student Council sponsor, Campus Technology Liaison, (I teach teachers how to do stuff computers) 5th Grade Team Leader and Multicultural Day Coordinator. Whew!

5.  My mom and sister are both teachers as well. My mom is in elementary and sister is a high school history teacher.
