Hello!
My name is Ashley and I am in my second year of teaching. I teach 5th grade Communication Arts and Social Studies. I love my 5th graders even though they are taller than I am. :) I have a BSE in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I currently take eMINTS classes through my school district which is why I decided to jump right into my Master's after finishing my BSE. I am hoping to graduate with my Master's in May, but I'll have to finish up in the summer.
I am newly engaged and knee-deep in planning! Shane, my fiance, and I will be getting hitched on November 12th of this year. I enjoy cooking, reading, and running 5k races.
The last book that I finished was "Dead in the Family" by Charlaine Harris. It is the most recent in the Sookie Stackhouse novels. Yes, I was sucked into the supe world of books. I love them. The current book that I am reading is "Plum Pudding Murder" by Joanne Fluke. It is the thirteenth in her Hannah Swensen series. If you enjoy murder mysteries with a touch of humor and romance then you should read this series. I received a Nook for Christmas and I am in love with it! I am from a small town and do not get out to get new books very often therefore the Nook is AMAZING! I am also reading the hardback book "L is for Lawless" by Sue Grafton. Yes, I have also read A, B, C though K in the series and plan on finishing out the alphabet. I have to disagree with Steve Jobs. I love to read and obviously read several book simultaniously! In fact, my fiance and I love to read so much that books will be the centerpieces on our reception tables.
P.S. I also have over 700 titles available in hard and paperback versions for my students to check out from our classroom library. I also subscribe to six different magazines!

Congrats on your engagement and good luck with planning! It's so neat that books will be the centerpieces. LOVE it!! I've never heard of the series! I'll have to look it up!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the engagement! Are you saying that you can go through the graduation ceremony in May, but finish classes during the summer? I didn't realize that that could be done. It is good to have another class with you.
