Hello everyone! I am making my first entry and I am a little anxious about it, but here it goes. I am currently the Data and Assessment coordinator for Owen Co. Schools. I serve grades K-5. After teaching first grade for 12 years, I decided to stay home for 10 years and raise my 3 babies and a teenager. It was quite a shock going back to work last year while still very busy with my 10 and 8 year olds, Lindsay and Alli. My oldest daughter, Kendall, who is 20, got married in August. She and her husband are attending EKU. Sadly my son Landon, passed away when he was 17 months old. My husband and I have been married for 14 years and we live in Owenton.
I received my undergraduate degree in elementary education from University of Kentucky and my Master's degree from Georgetown College. I enjoy playing golf, being outdoors, and spending time with my children. Teaching has always been an important part of my life. I look forward to learning new things and getting to know you all online.

Hi Dana! I think it is fantastic that you were able to stay home and raise your children for so long. I hope that when my husband and I are ready to have kids I can do the same thing for at least a couple of years. Do you enjoy the job you are currently in now or do you miss being a first grade teacher?
ReplyDeleteHello Dana,
ReplyDeleteI haven't always been a teacher, but I also took time off through the years to raise my kids. I am still raising, and I would take nothing for the time that I had with them at home when they were small. I also have an 8 year old Alli. :)
I really enjoy the job I am doing now. It was a huge challenge learning a new job such as this, but has turned out to be amazingly interesting. I still get my “kid fix” as I am throughout the primary and elementary schools daily and I also help out with math intervention when I have time. Also my own kids are still young enough to enjoy and watch grow and mature at school. So right now I am enjoying the mixture of data work and working with children in small groups.
