Hi, friends! My name is Erin Clark and I am a second grade teacher in Connecticut.

The following school year I moved districts, and taught first grade for three years, and third grade for a year. Again, first grade was really my bread and butter. Last year, I decided it was time for a change, so I moved to a school right in my old college town stomping ground.... and here I am today! I just finished my second year teaching second grade, and loved every bit of it. The 2019 - 2020 school year will mark my eighth year teaching. Time flies when you're having fun!
I’m also a TpT'er, and a home baker (hence the name Miss Clark's Spoonful). I've been dabbling in blogging since around 2011, and have gotten so much inspiration from other amazing educators. It's also been so much fun to attend meet ups and conferences over the years. I've met some pretty incredible friends!






So, that's a bit about my teacher blogger self! "Real life" speaking, I love spending time with my family and friends.




I also love large earrings, holidays (I'm basically an elf), Mexican food, sushi, scrolling away on Instagram, all things pink, fashion, podcasts, YouTube vlogs, true crime, daytime talk shows, and reality TV. I absolutely live for the summer season!

Shucking oysters last summer... Fun and delicious! I also found out that I am strangely talented at this. |

I could live in floral dresses forever, I think. My favorite dresses come from Christy Dawn. |
Oh, and I'm totally not a sports person. This about sums up my sports knowledge/interest!

I'm pretty passionate about self care and mental health. We all have our individual stories and challenges. Gabby Bernstein and Kris Carr are a couple of my go-to gurus for all things wellness.
Fun fact: I'm a HUGE Survivor fan. I've applied to be on the show four times. It's my ultimate dream.
