Introduction to Cyberspace

Hellllllloooooooooo!!! (I feel as though I am saying this in an echo to the empty audience as of now!)

As I sit here on this dreary Monday working on bulletin boards, classroom management, and lesson plans, I thought.. why not write my first blog post?1 So here I am, in my last week of summer, hoping for tomorrow to be my last day in my room so I can enjoy those last few beautiful, intoxicating, warming rays of sunshine before my little ray of sunshine students come in!

Where to start I asked myself? Well… let’s do a little getting to know me 🙂

My name is Amelia Capotosta, but many call me Aimey (I know, weird spelling!) Of course as a child “Amelia Bedelia” books were all of the rage, and although I was named after my great grandmother, I couldn’t help but be annoyed by the endless references to the every clumsy, literal-minded housekeeper! So, “Aimey” was adopted! And I won’t even go into how we got the spelling this way (let’s just say it’s amazing I learned to spell my name in kindergarten…”Amy? Aime? Aimee? Amee? Aimy? AIMEY!”

Anywho, I taught 6th grade Social Studies this past school year, but this year I have moved districts back to my hometown of Wadsworth, Ohio, where I will be teaching 4th grade Language Arts and Social Studies.. and I couldn’t be MORE excited!!! {Insert balloons, streamers, and crazy smiley face here!}

I have been married to my FAB hubby for a little over a year and he’s quite the hunk if I must say so myself…
