Hello all! My name is Samantha Fry and this is my first blog. I hope you enjoy reading it and getting to know me and my love of reading.
A little bit about my teaching career: I am a fifth grade teacher at Brookside Elementary School in Nicholasville, Kentucky. Nicholasville is in Jessamine County, which is right next to Fayette County (Lexington). This month I am finishing my third year of teaching. I will be teaching fifth grade again next year. We are self contained at Brookside, except for math, where we level our students. I have really enjoyed teaching the accelerated/gifted math class this year. I enjoy teaching all subjects, as I think I would get bored teaching the same lesson 4 or 5 times a day.
I graduated from the University of Kentucky in December of 2008. I am currently working on my Masters at the University of the Cumberlands. I am halfway through and am so excited to graduate in December 2012! I love reading and am hoping that I will discover new books to use in my classroom next year, whether they be a novel for read aloud, student literature circles, or a picture book to share with the whole class.
In my free time, I love to spend time with my boyfriend and my friends. I love summer vacation because it means I can read by the pool (or in the pool)! I hope to travel this summer and explore new places. I am also a big fan of the Food Network, and (with the help of Pinterest) am slowly building up my own stack of favorite recipes to cook.
Thank you for reading my introduction, and check back in the upcoming weeks for blog posts about the new books I'm enjoying. Happy Reading!
