... I love it!

Welcome to I Teach Science and...

Before I delve into the inner workings of my teacher brain and show you the many ideas and things I have made for my classes, I wanted to share a bit of myself!

I am a third year teacher currently teaching High School in Georgia. I currently teach Biology (freshmen) and Chemistry (sophomores). I used to think that I only wanted to teach biology and I didn't want to teach chemistry, but I am finding that I almost enjoy chemistry more -- maybe this has something to do with the maturity difference between freshmen and sophomores!

I didn't originally go to school to be a teacher, but that doesn't mean I don't LOVE what I do. I do think that my unconventional path to the classroom has given me some perspective and perhaps some unique ideas and methods. 

Outside of the classroom, I love cooking baking, video games, and The Gilmore Girls (among other shows that my husband refers to as "woman shows"). 

I love my husband, I love our cats, and I love my job. It's all pretty wonderful. 

I decided to start this blog to share some of the resources, ideas, and experiences I have every day in the classroom. As a teacher, I love reading the blogs of other teachers, but I get frustrated when I search and find SO MANY middle school or elementary school blogs (which inevitably I still read to find things that translate to high school), but I have found very few High School Science blogs, for whatever reason. Hopefully, this will not only connect me to other high school science bloggers but also open the gates for some collaboration and brainstorming -- Yay!
