Meet the Teacher (Allison)

Hey all! Thank you so much for visiting our new blog. Jamie and I are thrilled to be starting this little adventure together and can't wait to share our teaching talents with you :) My name is Allison and I am a first grade teacher in Maryland. I absolutely LOVE my school, my precious firsties and my wonderful teamies! I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but moved with my husband for his military career to Maryland after we got married. It has been such a blessing to meet the most amazing military friends, but I totally miss my family and all things Pittsburgh! When I moved to Maryland, I got an interview with two amazing principals for a first grade position and signed my contract a few days later. I student taught in first grade so I knew I was already in LOVE! This will be my third year teaching first grade and it just keeps getting better :) I still consider myself a newbie teacher and I'm constantly learning new things so I look forward to becoming blogger buddies with a few of you experts to improve my teaching and learning!

This is my incredible husband and my best friend Dan in Hawaii! We're spending the summer in Honolulu for his medical school rotations. I've really enjoyed my summer swimming with the turtles, surfing (kind-of!), hiking and sunbathing....Life is tough, HUH?!

 See why I miss Pittsburgh? I've got this AMAZING family (they're my other best friends)! This is in December from my sister's wedding. She was a gorgeous bride with her very handsome hubby, Jimmy! My two brothers, Alex and Sean, are both college boys and PERFECT gentlemen.. They will make some girls very happy some day! My mom and dad are the greatest examples of how to love life and I couldn't possibly have become the teacher I am today without their support. And just look at my good-looking stud in his military uniform. ;)
