I'm linking up with Janis over at Grade Three is the Place for Me for her Newbie Blog Hop and Amy at Step into 2nd Grade I started over Spring Break just over 4 months ago. I've enjoyed every minute.
What state do I live in? The Sunshine State (Florida)
What is my current teaching position? I am looping to 2nd grade!
What is my teaching experience? I have taught for 10 years, K-2
When did I start my blog? My first official post was on March 25, 2012
What would my blogging tip be? I would have to definitely agree with everyone that the word verification has got to go! I think it's also important to have a blog that's reader friendly.( Text broken into smaller chunks, not a lot of clutter, large print, normal font, no music, etc)
Don't feel like you have to read them all! Just pick a few!
1. I am a little obsessive compulsive. For example, I check
my email, facebook, blogs, websites, and my regular mail all the time.
2. I started jogging again. I jogged three miles today . We
have a group of teachers doing a 5K in November.
3. I don’t like
watching movies more than once. I also rarely listen to a full song before I
change the station in my car or song on my ipod.
4. When I am
with children I am very happy. If I am not teaching then I am probably
babysitting or hanging out with my niece and nephew.
5. I love taking
pictures! It's my new hobby.
6. I'm addicted to Pinterest and just love TPT!
7. My favorite stores are Target, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels.
Plus I usually get to use coupons which excite me.
8. Decorating
for every holiday is really fun for me. I have a wreath or door hanger for each
holiday/season and a doormat that matches.
9. Crafts are so
much fun so I've really enjoyed Monday Made Its with Tara.
10. I love
perfume.
11.I don’t like
to change my jewelry so I have a few nice pieces that I never take off. I
sleep, swim, etc in my earrings, watch, two rings, and necklace.
12. My favorite
food is Mexican. I love white cheese dip. I do not eat any SEAFOOD. The smell
makes me sick.
13. I don’t like
flying but I get over it so I can travel. I also have a fear of thunderstorms
and snakes.
14. I LOVE
pedicures. I get a pedicure once a month to show off my toe rings that I have
worn for the past 10 years. I also wear open toed shoes every chance I
get.
15. I graduated
college in two years.
16.
Florida,Alabama, Los Angeles and Toronto are all places that I have
lived.
17. I love
decorating my classroom . Thanks Schoolgirl Style for your inspiration!
18. I don’t like
throwing away things that I might be able to use one day. I kinda hoard school
supplies in my classroom closet.
19. If it was
appropriate, I would wear flip flops everyday!
20. I love to
floss my teeth. Sometimes I do it more than once a day.
21. I like
getting facials and massages.
22. I am a
night person. I love to sleep in. I could sleep until 12.
23. I obsessed
POLKA DOTS, FONT, and CLIP ART!
24. I have three
sisters and three brothers.

I'm sorry that you can't wear flip flops every day. I have an awesome principal who doesn't mind that we wear flip flops to school. And that's amazing that you finished college in 2 years. I finished in 5, partly because I changed my major 4 times (biology/ pre-med, early childhood education, sociology, and then back to education).

I am the same way about songs on the radio!! I have always felt I'm so weird to do that. It drives my family crazy and I really do try to not change the music when others are in the car with me!! :)

I can easily be sucked into the world of reality T.V. I can't really remember what I watched before reality T.V..
ReplyDeleteGreat blog I can't imagine having almost 600 followers. I'm your newest follower. if you get a chance please visit my blog @ Calling Plays in 2nd Grade.
