{Teacher Talk Tuesday} - Vol. 3

Today on Teacher Talk, we are sharing about our partners. 

Sarah, is a first year Algebra 2 teacher. It was so crazy to me that I got partnered with Math person. This year is she dealing with the same thing many first year teachers deal with, pacing. It's so hard to know how fast/slow to go...that balance of needing to cover certain material, but not going too face that the students can't learn. I know she will get it. 

Sarah and I also share another common interest. Crocheting...you should head over to her blog to see some of her cute things. 

Sarah sent me this awesome gift package...I'm loving it all, but especially the monogrammed vinyls...I'm ready to monogram everything. Of course I love it al :) 

Thank you Sarah for the gift and encouragement. 

{Teacher Talk Tuesday} Teacher Outfits

Hey everyone. I'm linking up with Jamie and Nicole for another Teacher Talk Tuesday. Tuesday's Topic...Teacher outfits. I must say, when I moved from the classroom to teaching online, this is one of the things I missed the most. I missed getting dressed up everyday...but at the same time, it has been much better on my budget.

 

 

I am not one of those online teachers that teach in my pajamas...Yes, I don't get ready EARLY in the morning, but around 9:30, I make myself get ready for the day. It makes me feel more productive and energized. Don't get me wrong, when I first started, I stayed in my PJ's for almost all day. Then I found I was always tired and I like a routine, so I get up, do my devotions, do my grading, go for a run, get ready and continue working. It's a schedule that works for me :)

 

Anyways, here is what I have worn so far this week and it is pretty typical me. Not fancy, but not sweats either.

 





 

Apparently I like black and white stripes this week :)

 

Can't wait to see everyone else's outfits.

 

{Teacher Talk Tuesday} - vol 1.

Hi - I'm Ashlee. Amongst many things, I'm a teacher. I teach Algebra 2 with Florida Virtual School. I haven't always taught virtually. After graduating college (in Minnesota), I moved to Florida and taught HS Math at ECS. I loved teaching at a private Christian school. I loved sharing my faith and my story with my high schoolers. However, 4 years later, God was doing something else in my life and I wanted to pursue it. I started teaching at FLVS. I loved the flexibility, but most of all, I loved helping students one-on-one, as they needed it. I loved that I could meet the student where they were and I wasn't bound by anything. I loved my job, but at the time was also taking my vacation days to Haiti, to help train teachers. God called me....I went. I was in Haiti for 2 years doing a lot of things (and teaching teachers). My husband and I moved back to Minnesota and again I am teaching at FLVS! God literally put this job in front of me and I feel like He created the position for me. It was a blessing to me and I feel extremely blessed to be doing what I am doing. 

Many of my friends, family and other teacher friends, get a little jealous, when I post pictures like this...of my office for the day. It is a great perk to the job. 

I love teaching... I love helping students and having an influence in their lives. I love challenging them to be better and to go further. 

Just for fun :) (I love teaching, but this is funny)
