So.... this is my blog... and this is new to me. I'm not sure how this works, but we'll give it a go! We're off on a new adventure!!
I'm Karrie Kennett and I teach at Goodridge Elementary in Hebron. I attended Morehead State University for undergrad and graduated in Spring of 2006. Morehead was a great experience, but I knew that I should head for the hills of Northern Kentucky after graduation. I secured a job at Goodridge Elementary as a third grade teacher for the 2006-07 school year... and I didn't want it at first! My grandmother taught at Goodridge, my mother teaches first grade at Goodridge and I went to school there as a child.... I wanted to be my own person and step out of the mold.... but I was called back and never left. :)
At the end of my third grade year, the principal told me that a kindergarten teacher was retiring. Knowing my heart was in primary, I jumped the third grade ship and moved into a life of half day kindergarten.... and it is where I'm supposed to be! Where else can you tie a billion shoes, create millions of art projects out of the most random objects, and practice counting to 100 daily? It's fantastic getting up each morning to have fun with my 46 monkeys... I love my job!
In my personal life... I purchaed a house last year in Erlanger. That has been a true adventure!! I'm finding that I am becoming quite good at do it yourself projects. Who would have thought that I could install light fixtures or scrape liquid nail residue off of the ceiling (Leftover from ugly styrofoam beams).... but I can! I'm also attempting my hand at gardening, however, I appearently have a black thumb. Who knew that watering is THAT important?! (Oops.)
In my spare time (Who has that?!), I enjoy cooking (I make a mean pesto.), reading (Little Women by Lousia May Alcott is my all time favorite!), traveling (Ever been to Cape May, NJ? I'm retiring there.), and antiquing. I am a tough scrabble player, a valued Netflix member, and a wannabe ghosthunter. I think that life is quite amazing
