Meet Miss Alexander!

Hi, I'm Miss Alexander and welcome to our classroom blog!  I invite you to learn a little bit about me.  This is a picture of my Aunt Beverly and I before we left on a tour of Natchez, Mississippi.  She introduced me to my favorite past time-TRAVELING!  She took me to Italy (any place of my choice) after I graduated high school and it stuck.  Now I have been bitten by the travel bug and have a hard time staying in town. :)

I LOVE the Longhorns!  I'm currently looking at graduate programs at the University of North Texas.  I love everything about the campus and the esteem they have in the education world. 

I also love the Texans.  What a great season they had last year-very exciting.  I love spending time with my friends, too.  I go bowling with them a lot, and go to the movies and out to dinner.

I love Disney and especially Disneyland in California!  Yes, Disney World is more exciting but I love the one in California more.  I got to meet the whole Winnie the Pooh gang when I was there last summer.  I can't wait to go back again some day!

My Summer Travels:

This summer I went on two big trips.  I went to St. Louis, Missouri for a teacher conference on Whole Brain Teaching.  I had the opportunity of going to the Gateway Arch.  It's amazing and you should totally put it on your travel plans if you've never been.

 My big trip for the summer was IRELAND!  I went with a friend of mine and we toured the whole country, including Northern Ireland.  Here is a picture of the Blarney Castle which I climbed up to...

 ... Kiss the Blarney Stone!!  It was amazingly scary but completely exciting.  

While on the trip we stayed at two different castles-Dromoland and Ashford.  This would be Dromoland Castle at dusk, around 10:30pm (so late!).  

Hookin' em at the Cliffs of Moher.  Everywhere I go I take pictures of the hook 'em horns.  The Cliffs of Moher on the Western Coast of Ireland was breathtaking.

Ashford Castle was just as beautiful as any other place I've been.  I had a WONDERFUL trip!!  Ireland is an amazing country to visit. :)

Family:

This is my mom with my nephew Reuben.  We were at the airport to welcome my brother home from Afghanistan.  He's a marine.  

This is my nephew Lucas.  He just started kindergarten this year.  I love him and Reuben so much!!!!!

This is my brother and his wife.  They are both marines who are stationed in North Carolina.  I see them whenever I can...

My Childhood:

I know it's hard to believe but I was once a kid too!  This is me when I was a baby.

This is me when I broke my arm in kindergarten.  I fell off the carousel at Burger King, lol.  But it wasn't so bad.  I loved being a kid and I'm so glad I teach because it lets me be as close to a kid as possible!

I hope you learned a little bit more about me.  Comment below to let me know some things about you!
