Welcome to Second Grade Sweeties!! Meet the Teacher!!

Welcome to Second Grade Sweeties!  I recently started following some great teachers' blogs and decided it was time to start my own. I can't wait to share ideas and get new ideas from other creative teachers. 


My name is Lauren Harrington and this is my second year of teaching 2nd grade.  I graduated from Lambuth University in Jackson, TN which is where I met my amazing husband.   We got married this past June.  He teaches and coaches (basketball and baseball) at the local high school.  Being a coach's wife is a challenging job! :)  I love spending time with my family and friends...and consider myself very blessed to live the life I live!!!
