30 Amazing Teachers ~ Ashlyn

Howdy Ya'll my name is Ashlyn and I'm the teacher behind The Creative Classroom. I'm so excited to be guest blogging on Cassandra's blog because first of all she is FABULOUS and second of all she is my blogging bestie! Cassandra and I first met at an Arizona meet-up and we hit it off right that moment. We have shared many laughs in Vegas together, yummy dinners with each other and possibly a million texts between one another.  Cassandra is one of the most generous and thoughtful people I know and I'm so proud to know her and call her my friend because she helps make me be a better teacher each and every day!


In honor of Cassandra's 30th birthday, I decided to do a little get to know me game called 30 THINGS ABOUT ASHLYN. I wanted to let you all in on a day in the life of the Creative Classroom and what better way than telling you 30 random things about myself. So here we go!
