It’s been a while…well more than a while really…it feels like
forever since I blogged last.
It was a hard decision to stop but at the time I was teaching a
lovely, curious and amazing class but they were also a hard class. There were
so many needs within the classroom it was emotionally draining and I could feel
I was burning out trying to do everything.
So I made the decision to put aside the blog and put my class first
which at the time was what I needed.
It’s funny though, how we tend to return to what makes us feel at
ease most through tricky times.
This year I was blessed with 31 incredible and beautiful children
which was a God send for a very hard and emotional year. I lost one of my
beautiful past students and my Dad. I don’t mention this for sympathy but more
for emphasising that this is how I have got to this point.
For me, my blog is my release. I find it grounds and calms me writing
everything out. Even if no one reads this, that is fine because it’s about me
feeling I need to say something to get it out and work through it all.
So I am going to blog. I can’t promise it will be regular. I can’t
promise it will be pretty all the time. I can’t promise it won’t be a rambling
mess BUT I can promise that it will be real and honest.
If you want to
come along for this ride feel free to drop by every now and then.
SO
Welcome to my blog!
I’m Teagan and I teach in Perth,
Western Australia!
In the teaching world I go by Miss
Thresher!
I have been teaching for five years and I am about to go into my sixth year!
95% of that time has been in Year Two and 5% in
Pre-Primary.
I actually LOVE Year Two and always
panic at the prospect of having to move from this year group. I learn so much
each year I could literally just teach Year Two for my whole teaching career
and STILL have new things to learn!
I love to sing, dance and generally
make a fool of myself in front of my class because hey 8 years old don’t judge
;)
It is also a perk 8 year olds think
EVERYTHING you do is the best thing they have ever seen!
Some things about me:
-My last name is actually a
species of shark so it is a great talking point for students in my class – last week
my students went NUTS because they found a book dedicated to the Thresher
shark. You would have sworn I told them it was Christmas by the levels of
excitement displayed!
-I have a dog named Molly who is
my world!
-I LOVE reading, dancing (even
though I’m terrible!), drawing and generally being creative!
- I am not a super
duper organised teacher in fact I think the correct description would be that I
am an organised mess!
It’s messy but it’s messy
organised so it kind counts right??!?!
-My favourite colour is blue and
my favourite font is CCBOOYAH by the amazing Cara Caroll!
-I am addicted to TPT – it’s possibly
getting to the stage of an intervention ….but it’s
not there yet!
-I am passionate about teaching
and my students
So welcome to my blog!
I hope you enjoy my random babbles
and rants and maybe even have a laugh every now and then!
If you came here for amazing
organisational tips . . . maybe find a different blog!
I am
Teagan.
I am a
passionate, creative, organised mess of a teacher and that’s fine by me.
