Meet The Teacher~~LInky

Hey all!  I am Jameson From ^DUH^ Lessons With Coffee.  I decided to Jump on the band wagon and Link up with Falling into First For the Meet The Teacher Blogger. 

So.  My name is Jameson.  I am older than I would like to admit.  Teaching is actually my second career. I graduated in 2004 from The University Of Minnesota (Go Gofers) with a double degree in Creative Writing and History and a minor in Art.  What the heck do you do with that?  Well I worked at the Guthrie Theater where I edited plays for historical value.  The easiest way for me do describe what I have done:

"Have you seen the movie Titanic...YOu know the blockbuster with Leo DiCaprio in it?  Yeah you know when Jack and Rose are getting it on in the car?  YES!  Ok that car.  Was not invented yet!"

I did that.  But for plays.  I looked at dialect, costuming, sets, and figurative speech.

SO when I tell you that I do not like teaching math all day...It is because really I am a writer, A reader, An editor, A historian, A playwrite.  I love all of these AND math AND science.

I am a generalist to the core...I just happen to be ok at Algebra at the same time!

This will mark my 3rd year teaching full time.  I am scheduled to teach only 6th grade math this year.  We will see what that brings.   I am pretty stinkin excited to meet my students!  ALL  200 of them. 

I have a boyfriend of almost 3 years!  He is pretty awesome. He might be my fravorite.

I also have a little pit bull mix named Angus.  ALSO awesome...Also a favorite.

We live in St. Paul Minnesota. 

 THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

Post It Notes, Small notebooks, Skittles, Fireworks, Glitter, Margaritas, and Snowcones. 

 I love rescue dogs and helping out rescues.  I love spray paint (particularly gold), learning, reading, barbiquing. 

 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

When I was growing up I wanted to be a map maker.  Strait up a cartographer.  When I was 17 and told to go to college I went for liberal arts.  In 2008 the economy got nasty and I lost hours and had to go back to school.  I at first chose Dentistry.  Then I chose Education.

Go figure.
