Meet the Teacher Linky

Hola! My name is Evelyn and I'm back blogging. Thanks to Becca from Jumping Jax Designs for my redesign. Loving it and I'm ready to start my dash to blogging, creating and making new teacher buds!

I taught 1st Grade for 12 years with a splash of Kindergarten. This year I'm moving up to 2nd Grade. I will be teaching in a general ed class with an ESL cluster. But I did teach Dual Language for 8 years. I love my school district where I work (talk about a diverse community). I'm a transplanted Manhattanite to the suburbs of New York. 

I'm a wife to a fabulous hubby who always keeps things interesting and a mom to two beautiful young ladies. So yes we are NEW empty nesters and enjoying each other again.
