Welcome! My name is Laura, and I'm an educator. I started this blog to share ideas that I have used in my classroom or library. I've been in education for 9 years. I taught kindergarten for four years and first grade for four years. This is my first year being a librarian. I'm currently finishing up schooling to be a counselor.
I had a hard time coming up with a name for my blog. I decided on The Traveling Educator because I'm currently certified in different areas, and I could change jobs at any time and wanted to post about what I'm currently doing.
I'm an Air Force Spouse, so we move around a lot. I taught in Florida, and I live in Texas. I only have about a year left in Texas. The great thing about moving around is that I learn so many new ideas from other educators. The ideas I incorporated in my classroom in Florida are so different than what I do now in Texas. After learning Common Core in Florida, it was a challenge learning a new system in Texas, a non-Common Core state.
I'm so excited to start this new journey of writing a blog. I can't wait to share with everyone the activities I do as an educator!
