Meet the Teacher Blogger


Yes I'm late to this linky but I've been seeing so many people do it, I had to join!

On our way home, finally!
Ok, my name is Caitlin Andrews. I am married to Russell, a middle school math teacher and coach. We've been married 5 years. Last September, we welcomed a baby boy into our lives. Jackson entered the world 5 weeks early and after 12 LONG days in the NICU, we got to come home!! Now, Jackson is almost a year old and is a baby giant :) He is the best thing in the world. 
I have 2 kitties, Ike and Abe. Ike is my cat. He follows me everywhere, does what I ask him to and thinks I'm his actual mother. Who needs a dog when you've got a cat that great?! 

I teach 5th grade Reading and Writing in Irving, TX just outside of Dallas. I am have the gifted and talented kids in my homeroom (all 29 of them.) and I have 2 other sections of students too this year. :) 
Ok..on to the questions: 

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...
Sonic Coke Zero with extra ice. Anything green. Volleyball. Football. Shopping at Target. Reading books. Watching TV. Laying by the pool. Road Trips. Beach vacations. Candy Crush. Pretty pens. Writing with chalk. Stella & Dot jewelry. 

 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?
Ok. I've wanted to be a teacher since I was in 2nd grade, so I've never considered being anything else. BUT, someone told me the other day what they thought I should do and I was like yes! So my DREAM job other than teaching would to be a font artist. Seriously. I love fonts. I'm known for them. I love writing like them when I make anchor charts. It's an obsession. But realistically, if I wasn't a teacher, I'd be a college admissions counselor. I love helping college kids figure out their degree plans.
