1. My district is a little touchy about posting anything on the internet so I thought I would just stick with my name. My last name is unique and I would be very easily traced and thought it's just better to stay away from all that.
2. This year will be be my 25th year of teaching!!! OMG! I can't believe it! It seems like yesterday I was standing in my very first classroom and thinking to myself, "It's so big!" (I don't think that anymore. LOL!) I taught 2nd grade for 5 years, 1st grade for 4 years and have spent 16 years in Kindergarten. I love Kindergarten!!!! I also teach at the school that I attended as a little girl.
3. I know diet coke is not good for you, but it keeps me sane!!! I am not a coffee drinker so this is my caffeine. I also limit myself to only one a day. I have 3 daughters and they are my world. I love my girls so much!
4. A year ago I purchased a laminator on the recommendation of one of the fabulous bloggers that I follow and it is the best purchase I have ever made!!!!! I don't know how I taught for so long without one! I purchased it at Target for about $20 and I get my sheets at Sam's Club for about the same price. Everyone at my school always wants to borrow it. (Um no!)
5. I have so many favorite books, but Brown Bear, Brown Bear is a tried and true classic, that I remember as a child and kids love it every time they hear it.
6. I love a lot of bloggers, but Kristin from A Teeny Tiny Teacher always puts a smile on my face. I so wish we were friends in real life! I also just recently found out she teaches 1st and not K, but that's okay she is still my favorite.
7. And last, but not least...I love Kindergarten because everyday is a new day. No two days are ever the same when you teach Kindergarten! The kids are so sweet and loving, even the ones that don't seem sweet and loving in the beginning.(They really are too!) It's the one grade where you see so much growth and I truly believe Kindergarten needs to be a positive experience so that it helps our little ones to love learning!
Thanks for reading because I know I don't have a cutesy blog or anything fancy, but I do love teaching, learning and sharing and I am so glad to be a part of this community. Sorry I don't know how to link properly!!
