If you Strike Out, Go Down Swinging, K!

About Me
My name is Kristin and I was born in Bremerton, Washington.  I moved to Kingsland, Georgia when I was three years old.  My dad was in the military, but we didn't move around like the typical military family.  I grew up with both of my parents and my sister Brooke.  I graduated high school in 2005 with people I went to Kindergarten with.  Currently, I am a Junior at Valdosta State University and majoring in Early Childhood and Special Education.   Also, since I graduated high school my dad retired from the military and my family moved to Port St. Lucie, Florida.  We live ten minutes away from the beach!!!!


Talents and Accomplishments
I started playing softball when I was six years old and I continued playing every year until I graduated high school.  I really enjoyed playing Varsity softball and being a Lady Wildcat!  My senior year I had a .400 batting average!  It was amazing to stick with a sport for so many years.  In case you didn't know, when you strike out swinging it is recorded in the books as "K", but when you strike out looking it goes down as a backwards "K".  Although, I am proud of my softball career, my greatest accomplishment is staying true to myself and what I believe in.

Something Special I'd Like To Do
Since I grew up in south Georgia I have never lived in a place that had four seasons.  I would love to live in a place where you can experience Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. 



Some of My Favorite Websites:
1. The Teacher's Corner

This site has many different bulletin board ideas.  I am really into trying to make things my own, and I think it would give me some good starting ideas.

2. National Association for the Education of Young Children

This site is an amazing resource.  It has a lot of up to date information that teachers need to know, and also lets you know about seminars and things going on for teachers.  (I am a member)
3. Georgia Department of Education

This website will be my best friend.  It is very easy to look up standards and see what needs to be taught in each grade level.

4. Elementary Art Lesson Plans

This site has fun art lesson plans.  I want to be able to incorporate art in some of my lessons and using this resource will be helpful.

5. Kim's Korner for Teacher Talk

This is another site that has some pretty amazing bulletin boards.  I want to be able to make some really cool ones for my children to enjoy and learn from.
