If
you haven’t met Mrs. Bodily yet, you are missing out! She is an
amazing teacher and is just an all-around fun person to be around. I
have had the pleasure of having both of my children in her class and
seeing what a terrific teacher she is. I think some people have a
gift for teaching and Mrs. Bodily definitely has that gift!
How
long have you been teaching?
This is my
second year teaching. I’m new to the game and am so glad that I am
teaching at such a wonderful school and to be with such a great
team.
What
made you decide to become a teacher?
I come from a family of educators and really grew to respect the
profession. I just always knew that I wanted to be a teacher.
Roots:
I was born in Provo, Utah and was raised in Orem. When I got married,
my parents made my husband promise he would not take me away from
Orem, needless to say, we’ll be there for a while.
I
am the youngest of six. I have three sisters and two brothers.
They’re all married now so our family is continually growing and I
love it!
You
started teaching at the school last year as Ms. Furr but throughout
the year became Mrs. Bodily. Tell us a little about your hubby.
My
husband was born in Washington State and moved to Illinois when he
was in high school. He moved to Utah when he was 17 to attend BYU.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he’ll graduate this April
with his Masters in Engineering. We were married this past March. It
was a year of many firsts for me and I would not recommend anyone do
it that way, but it was really fun to share that experience with my
students. Several of them came to our reception which was so fun!
(All
of her students were invited to her wedding reception and even on her
wedding day she was thinking about them. She posed for pictures with
them and Mrs. Bodily and her husband hid Lego figurines around the
room for the kids to find. I watched as children ran up to her to
report how many figurines they had found and even while she was still
greeting guests in line, she would stop and listen to her kids with
an excited smile. She makes my sons feel like rock stars and they
know that she loves and cares about them. Dedicated teacher indeed!)
What
is your favorite…
Treat?
I LOVE
cupcakes! Cupcakes mixed into ice cream are so good that we probably
shouldn't even talk about it. Anything sour, especially cherry
flavored.
Restaurant?
I like Zupas, Taco Amigo, P.F. Changs. I’m really good with
anything as long as I don’t have to decide where to go.
Vacation
spot? I
love Disneyland! I think I’ve been there every year I’ve been
alive
What
do you love about teaching? I
love seeing students explore new things. In the beginning of the
year, they are so timid and nervous to be away for their homes for
the first time, but around Christmas time they really open up with
not only me, but the other students in our class. It’s like we are
one huge family!
