All About Me!
HI! My name is Jillian Fulhage. I grew up in a small town, Hamlet, North Carolina. I am an only child, so my parents and I are really close. I went to the University of North Carolina-Wilmington and majored in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology. After college I moved back to Hamlet and taught first grade for two years in Laurel Hill, NC. I took a year off from teaching and moved to Raleigh to go to Graduate school full time at NC State. I graduated from NC State with my master in Elementary Education with a focus in literacy and global learning in May 2012. I have taught first grade for 10 years. This will be my first year teaching kindergarten. I am very excited to be at Carpenter Elementary working with a great staff and a wonderful group of children.
I recently got married to an amazing man, Eric. We live on a little hobby farm, with our dog, Kizzy and our cat, Ellum. We also have have honey bees and 6 chickens. All six of our chickens have first and middle names. They names are: Buffy Ann, Dixon Haze, Magnolia May, Nola Rolla, Fancy Pants, and Tallulah Rae.
When I'm not teaching, I am hanging out with Eric and Kizzy. We love being outside, running, walking, camping, kayaking, or flying. I love to travel and I try to incorporate my adventures into the classroom. I have had some incredible trips. I have hiked the Grand Canyon and have been to many national parks. I have even spent time in Japan comparing their educational system to ours in the United States. I have been to Haiti and Zimbabwe. My favorite trip was my trip to Ireland! It was so beautiful! I have learned so much during all of my travels.
I also enjoy reading, but my true love is reading children's books. I am always on the look out for new good children's books, so if you ever find a good one let me know!
