I often think to myself, "Oh, I had a story for that", or "Shoot I should have mentioned...". You see, as a new teacher, I've gotten caught up in the lesson so many times that I forget that I'm an actual person. A person that had and still has experiences beyond the classroom that very often relate to the 'thing at hand'. I let them know about the big things in my life (most know my husband's name, my dog's name, tidbits about my past career, and that I love my Beavs). I forget to mention my tendency for travel, my passion for photography, my admiration for adventures.
To help me remember that 'I'm still me', I put pictures up around the room of my favorite adventures with my favorite people. Below are a few of those pictures:
Chicago, Illinois, USA
Stonehenge, England
