Katy was well known for it's rice farming. I currently live in East Bernard, Texas with my husband and our 5 year old son. We enjoy playing and gardening in our 2 acre backyard. Well, my husband and son do most of the gardening. I make sure to pick the vegetables and fruit when they're ready!]]> 2020-05-28 18:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599788302 LaKursharVykukal https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599811370 We have one son, who is 5 years old and starting Kindergarten this coming year. We are expecting an addition of a sweet baby girl in October. We are really excited! ]]> 2020-05-28 18:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599811370 LaKursharVykukal https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599815526 I received my BS at the University of Houston-Downtown in 2009 in Interdisciplinary Studies (I did attend a year and a half at Stephen F. Austin before transferring to Houston...shhh!) I am currently back in school to receive my Masters in Library Science with Sam Houston. This Summer will be my 3rd Semester in the program. ]]> 2020-05-28 18:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599815526 LaKursharVykukal https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599822301 We have three cats. One is an inside cat and her name is Precious. She's really like a spoiled child...I have had her since 2010. I got her after getting my first apartment out of college so we have been together and experienced a lot together. The other 2 cats are kittens that we got for my son this year. They are outside cats that keep the outside of our home rodent-free! ]]> 2020-05-28 18:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599822301 LaKursharVykukal https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599829429 My husband, Wyatt, and I met a little before I returned back to the U.S. We married at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. He has been awesome support through my whole Education career and my best cheerleader during this whole transition back into school to receive my Masters. ]]> 2020-05-28 18:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599829429 LaKursharVykukal https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599834101 This coming Fall will be my 11th year teaching! Whew, does not feel like that long. Out of these 11 years, I spent two of those years teaching in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi is about a little over an hour from Dubai. Abu Dhabi is the capital city of the country. That was one of the best experiences. The culture, students, teachers and the geography are experiences that I could never FULLY explain in words...you just have to experience it!]]> 2020-05-28 18:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599834101 LaKursharVykukal https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599839901 While living overseas, I was able to travel and visit different other countries and cities. I have visited Dubai, Paris, Barcelona, Athens, Santorini, Patmos, Mykonos and other Greek Islands as we cruised to Kusadasi, Turkey. I have also visited Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia (saw the tallest twin towers in the world). I traveled through Kenya through multiple of their towns and reserves, saw the Great Rift Valley, ending in Massai Mara. I saw Mount Kilimanjaro from the airplane! I also saw the Great Pyramids in Egypt!! Since returning to the U.S., getting married and starting a family...we have still traveled but visiting new places in Texas. ]]> 2020-05-28 18:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599839901 LaKursharVykukal https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599858468 This coming Fall will be my 12th year teaching. I have taught Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st Grade. This coming year, I will actually be moving up to 4th Grade.

Really loved their crazy, unpredictable field trips! I loved looking for the FACTS written on the corners of the pages and reading what can or can NOT really happen at the end of the books. ]]> 2020-05-28 19:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599922145 LaKursharVykukal https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599923507 Arthur!!
I have ALWAYS loved reading! This was my first and favorite series as a young child! I knew exactly what shelf to head to on Library Days. ]]> 2020-05-28 19:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599923507 LaKursharVykukal https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599930506 Picture of my husband, parents, brother and my son.]]> 2020-05-28 19:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599930506 LaKursharVykukal https://padlet.com/LaKursharVykukal/tw9xqguu78vynomu/wish/599934661 Our inside cat, Precious.
