Welcome to Wild About Firsties!

Welcome!

While Wild About Firsties is brand new, I have been reading and following many other educational blogs for some time now and have fell in L.O.V.E!    It is so much fun seeing how other teachers run and organize their classrooms and share it with the world!  So….I decided it was time for me to become a part of the blogging world! 

A little bit about me:

My name is Jessica and I have been teaching first grade for six years now!  (This time has flown by!)  I teach in a small town in Texas just outside of Dallas.   (So you may see the word ya’ll quite often!)

From the name of the blog…yes I am WILD about my firsties!  From the beginning I not only have been WILD about my kiddos but I have always had a jungle theme in my classroom and every now and then will switch it up, but I ALWAYS come back to my WILD room! 

I am married to my wonderful husband…We will just call him Mr.!  I have two amazing boys… Our oldest son will be 4 soon, and our newest addition just arrived this August! 

So Yes, that means I am starting off the brand new school year….. on Maternity Leave! *Bummer!*  Don’t get me wrong, I L.O.V.E. being home with my boys, but us teachers know….we NEED to be there on the first day/week of school! 


I hope to update often with classroom pictures and projects and units as we get going so please check back often!!!

Also… I already have a small collection of units and various activities on Teachers Pay Teachers…so please check out my store!!   Click the link below or on the side bar!
