Meet the Teacher Blogger Linky!

So many of my favorite bloggers are participating in this linky

and I love getting to know them beyond that daily teaching grind. 

They are answering so many questions that I have wondered about, 

but never taken the time to ask. I decided I had to link up too and there is

no better time than summer time to share what you've been 

up to and who you are outside of school. 

{Even though anyone who knows a teacher will tell you all we talk about is kids 

and teaching, seriously do we have lives? The answer is no my friends, we do no not!!}

I am a 27 year old wife and mommy of two. I am going into my 6th year teaching. I got on the crazy ride when the budget was at it's worst and new teachers were non-existent. I consider myself beyond lucky and blessed to be doing what I love, but it came with a lot of bouncing all over from grade to grade and place to place. On the bright and sunshiny side I found my forever love and where I know I am supposed to be right here with 3rd graders! 

This guy is my pie in the sky, the jelly to my peanut butter! I met this love of my life working at Burgerville in high school. It was love at first fry!! Here we are at a Portland Trail Blazers game. 

We are... RIP CITY!! 

We have two wonderful kids, a niece and nephew and I even have an 8 year old little sister that 

we make every memory we can with... 

Q& A Session
 

 THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

My EOS Chapstick- have to have it. I love zebra print everything and am finally adding some to my classroom. I was worried I would overdo it, but so far I am doing a good job of keeping it in check. Hershey Kisses- I could eat a thousand in a day, I swear. Sunglasses- I am always losing them so I keep a dozen pairs. Clearance racks- I go straight for em'. Books- Amazon loves me. RSVP pens- I think it's because I am left handed and they don't smear. Rearranging furniture- something about things looking different keeps it new and fresh to me. 

 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

Nothing. I would probably just whine about how I want to be a teacher. I am not kidding. I have tried to like other things, but it is just not happenin'. I get bored after 5 seconds and want to start grading papers or something. If you read my blog you know I have always wanted to teach. I used to make my brother and sisters wake up at a certain time on Saturdays to begin our "school day". I already had pre-made worksheets and activities planned out. My brother always wanted to quit in the middle so I made him sign a contract the night before saying that he would stay for the whole school day. I know, terrible! 

THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.

Positive.  Efficient. Perfectionist.  

 

FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"

"I love the way you are pretending to read that book," said no teacher ever!!!!!!!! 

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?

 "Super Woman"{DUH :P}  

 Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?

I would never have to sleep. I love sleep, but I just think of all the things I could get done while my kids are sleeping!!! 

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

Oh jeeez I am terrible at this thing. Well, I suppose the first and best one I've ever heard- 

"If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." 

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 

We are getting ready for our Back to School Kick off assembly and the only song I have been singing

is Rude by Magic! I could belt that one out on American Idol no prob! Ha!

 

 Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?

I am definitely a night owl, but I never stay up late because my husband is such a morning person. I

always try to go to bed when he does, but there are times where I get caught up working on something I just have to finish. Then I always end up staying up until like 3, waking up at 6 and I'm kicking myself!  

 

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RESOURCE THAT YOU'VE CREATED IN YOUR TPT SHOP?

I love my Multiplication Centers because they are so quick and easy to throw together. They also include all of the exit slips for every multiplication standard and I could not live without those little diagnostic checks when it comes to creating my small groups!

My Morning Check in Question Pack is also one of my favorites. It helps me take attendance without disrupting anything else and I can check in with students on what we've been working on the day before as we are getting morning work done. 

Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU!

I laugh at the stupidest things and have the most immature sense of humor. Like you know when a kid "toots" in class? Ya, I am the one covering my face with a book because I cannot control myself. 

Here is a picture of our little pup with my hair over her head. I swear I giggled at this thing foreverrrr!

Make sure you go link up and read all of the other fabulous Q&A's. There is so much I didn't know about these blogger ladies!
