¡Bienvenidos!

Hello!  My name is Katie Creeger and I will be your Spanish teacher for this semester/year.  I know you are all excited about the new school year, right?  I mean, because everyone is always excited to come back from vacation!  :)  HA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to share some information about me and then I would like you to please fill out the link I have here to tell me a little about yourself and the best ways I can get in touch with you. Getting to Know You 

I've already told you my name and you can guess that I am a Spanish teacher.  I also teach for the University of Phoenix and I really enjoy that too.  It keeps me busy but not out of trouble! I also teach adults Spanish from all around the world. I have a lot of fun doing that and they really wish they had paid attention more when they were in high school Spanish, that is for sure!

This summer we took a great road trip. We went through a bunch of states and went up into northern Minnesota. We then toodled around Chicago and had a blast. We toured the
Univerisity of Notre Dame in Indiana and we went to the Louisville Slugger museum in Louisville, Kentucky. We spent time in Nashville, Tennessee too, as well as Omaha, Nebraska. It was a great vacation.  This is a picture of the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth, Minnesota. It's a pretty unique bridge. I went to kindergarten and part of first grade in Duluth and hadn't been back since we left in 1977! It was so cool to see it again and to show my kiddos Lake Superior. It's HUGE!
 This is my husband and I.  He just earned his doctorate so he is now Dr. Creeger. :) He does consulting and travels around the US to help schools perform "better".  Here I was rocking out to "Shut Up and Dance" and he was laughing at me. It was my favorite song of last summer! We have a lot of fun traveling and hanging out. He loves basketball and used to play for the University of Dallas. I tolerate his watching a million games as he tolerates my obsession with football and baseball. My oldest son, Jared, is in 10th grade and my youngest, Drew, is in 4th grade this year. They both keep me busy and we have a lot of fun together. <3
This is my kitty, Shadow.  He is three years old and he is a total mess.  He is spoiled and is really sweet.  He was right up in my face here and purring.  He is a total character and he makes us all laugh. He likes to hang out on my desk while I work. This summer he decided it would be fun to balance on the back of my chair, while I sit in it.

So, that is a little bit about me-- there is more on my profile here so check it out there too.  All I can say is, "GO SEAHAWKS!"  I have been a fan of theirs since 1982 so I am no bandwagon fan!  :)

OK, your turn!  Please click on that blue hyperlink and tell me all about yourself!  I look forward to reading those and getting to know all of you this semester!
