About

Hello, everybody! I am Jenn from 2nd Grade Snickerdoodles. I am finally venturing out into the world of blogging. I am a little freaked out about that. I am usually VERY shy. So, this blog is going to help me grow and push my boundaries. Thanks for joining me on this journey! Anyway, for now, I thought it would be best if you found out a little bit about me. So, here is my list of the top five things that you might want to know about me.

1. Teaching experience?
     I have been teaching for 23 years now. I taught 1st grade for two years. Then, we moved to middle Georgia and jobs were scarce. So, I taught 3rd grade for four years at a private school. Then, I landed my dream job. I completely love my school! I have been teaching 2nd grade for 17 years now. Several of those years I was an inclusion teacher. I am now teaching Title I interventions for 2nd grade.

2. Why Snickerdoodles?
Well, when I was a kid, my mom used to call my sister and I all sorts of silly nicknames. I picked up that habit. My kids giggle when I say things like, "Come on, my little doodlebops" or "See you tomorrow, my sweet cherubs". One of their favorites has always been when I call them "My Snickerdoodles". So, there you have it. :)




3. Family?
I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 24 years. He is an amazing man! We have two kids. Our daughter is away at college getting her art degree. She is left-handed and about as right-brained as they come! She is completely creative, gifted, artistic, and she makes me laugh until I cry. Our son is about to be a teenager!  In many ways, he is the opposite of his sister. He is highly logical, a stickler for rules, a reader of only nonfiction, and an animal lover.

4. Got pets? 

You betcha! I currently share my life with two labs, two goats, one tuxedo kitty, and my son has a room full of reptiles! 

5. Interests?

I am a total nerd and an introvert!  You have been warned! I love documentaries, history, and mysteries. I enjoy cooking, reading, crafts, and time with my family! 

Well, that's me in a nutshell!  I am so excited about getting to know you!
