Meet the Elementary Entourage - Kelsey from Aloha to Second

Wow! I can't believe I get to be part of this blog with such a great group of teachers!  I think it is so exciting to see all the amazing educators around the world, and I am blessed enough to work closely with many of them.  Technology is simply amazing!  I have learned so much through my blogging adventure, and I hope you can learn from all of us!

Now, it is time to get to know me a little bit!  

This is my fourth year of teaching.  I taught kindergarten for three years, and I moved to second grade this year.  My husband got a new job in Chicago, so we moved about 6 months ago!  It has been a super fun journey. We have been happily married for 3 years, but have been together for 7! He is in the Marine Corps.  Since today is Veteran's Day I want to give a shout out to all Veterans and thank you for your service! :) 

I am from Indiana and that is where my family lives. It was hard leaving my family because we are very close.  However, it has been a great experience for my husband and I. 

 I feel so blessed to go through life with my husband because he is my rock and number one fan!  He definitely earns a reward for putting up with me working on school stuff all the time!  Being married to a teacher is not easy!

I love teaching, and I really enjoy my class this year!  I am teaching at a Catholic school, and it has been an awesome experience.  I feel that I can live my mission for God each and everyday.  

Now for the fun stuff! I have a freebie just for you! I have been working hard on getting my students to be independent workers during our word study time.  Therefore, I made this fun word work materials pack so that my students could practice their words weekly using a variety of activities.  I also will not have to teach them what to do each week because the activities will be the same!

I hope you find this packet useful for you.  You could use it for homework, stations, or extra practice. Click on the image below to grab your freebie today!
