Welcome and Hello to my first blog!
My name is Christine Strickland. I am in my third year of teaching second grade at Hillcrest Elementary in Enterprise, AL. I am married to a wonderful man named Jeremy. We will welcome our first child come August 5th. We will find out April 5th whether we will be welcoming a boy or a girl to our family. I am taking my last class at the University of West Alabama were I will be graduating in May with my masters in Library Media. I wanted to get my degree in Library Media because I wanted to have a way out of the classroom, but that would still let me work with children. I love technology and children's books, so Library Media was the perfect fit for me! I chose to get my degree online because the local colleges around me did not have the degree I wanted. My favorite piece of technology is my SMARTboard and projector that I got at the end of last school year. It makes my job of teaching so much easier and allows me to expand my classroom beyond the four walls that enclose my students and I each day.

Congratulations on being a mom soon! Let us know if it's a boy or girl after you find out.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to have someone who wants to work with kids be a Teacher Librarian! I think too many folks think they won't have to deal with kids in the library! Ha ha ha!
Looking forward to working with you this semester!

Congratulations on the baby! Have you picked out any names yet? I have two boys that are 5 and 9. I will be finished with my Libray Media degree in the Fall Session 1. I have been teaching for 15 years and I am ready to do something different too. You mentioned that you like using the SMARTBoard. I love mine. I have had it for about 4 or 5 years now. I have had to replace the pens twice because I have worn down the tips. I also have Senteo clicker that I am trying to become more efficient with in the classroom. I look forward to blogging more with you.
