Today I went into my classroom for the first time since March. It was hard to see my classroom so empty but I am thankful that I have been able to stay in touch with so many of my students. Change is never easy and this pandemic has caused a lot of sadness for many people. I am trying my best to start seeing the opportunities that are also being created. I believe with the right mindset, this situation can bring communities closer together. I hope when everyone returns to school, whenever that may be, that we cherish every single moment we have. I know I can’t wait for the day where I can hug every single one of my former and future students!

Introduction

Hello! My name is Jamie and I am a Christian, newlywed, teacher and farm owner.  I previously had a website for all the things happening in my education and farm world, but then became too busy to keep up with it.  I am excited to start a new blog as a totally new time in my life unfolds. So here is a little bit more about me.

I currently teach second grade in North Carolina.  I also teach students online through VIPKid.   I have recently trained in Tinkergarten and am waiting until the Covid pandemic gets better before started my first outdoor class. As you can probably tell, a huge part of my life is education. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was probably in Kindergarten.  I love all of the different opportunities that are out there for helping students learn.

Outside of the professional world, my husband and I own a small farm with cows, goats, chickens and a miniature donkey.  Every summer we also grow a big garden.  It is fun each year to learn something new to can or cook with the vegetables we harvest. 

For fun, I love to cook, find a good bargain while shopping and decorate our home. Most importantly, I enjoy spending time with family, friends and God.  Being a Christian is a huge part of my life and following Jesus brings me so much joy everyday.  

Through this blog, I plan to discuss my life as Christian, teacher and farm wife. I hope you enjoy learning about my journey as I work to “Farm up Wisdom.”
