Joining the World of Blogging

Hello Blogging World!
I've decided to try out this blog thing. There are so many talented and amazing teachers out their that have inspired me so I decided to share what I do in my classroom with the world. My goal for this blog is to connect to other teachers to improve my teaching and hopefully I can give something back to the education world.
I'm a 6th grade math teacher. I love teaching math. Before I started teaching I thought reading would be my favorite subject, but as I've taught I have found a love and passion for teaching math. My goal in the math classroom is to make it fun for students so they like math. Unfortunately, in today's world math gets a bad rep. I'm trying to change that, one engaging lesson at a time. I hope you will enjoy your time here at Making Math Amusing.

Currently I'm enjoying my first week of my 2 week spring break. It hasn't been the relaxing break I was hoping for, but I've had lots of fun and adventures already. I live in AZ which is so nice this time of year. Since the weather is wonderful right now and soon will be too hot to be outside I've spent a lot of time outdoors, hiking, spring training games, bike rides with my son and taking the dog for a walk.

I'm married to a wonderful guy (hubs) who is currently in medical school. I have a 9 year old son (B) who is in forth grade and my best buddy. We have a dog Sonic, who is hyper as all get out and loves walks.  These guys are my world so you'll probably hear about them frequently on the blog. 

I'm so excited to connect with all the wonderful teachers out there in the blogging world!
