Meet the Teacher..

I couldn't help but link up with this linky after I saw it!  So 2 posts in one day people!  A miracle I tell ya! So here I am linking up with Stephanie over at Falling into First!

I hope to meet some new teachers in this linky!  But first, here's a little about me.

I am a 30-somthing(cough-cough) teacher that has been teaching going on 15 years.  Yikes!  My first 5 years I taught second, and thought no other grade could be better, until I moved to first.  I LOOOOOVE firsties.  Nothing like laying down the basics to get those kiddos up a soaring for  second grade.  I taught a combo of 1st/2nd graders this past year and WOW, one of the best classes I've had in a long time.  I have to admit, I am ready to have a class full of only firsties this year.

I am a mama to this cutie pie.  This is an old pic - because she just turned 10 and boy has her face changed!  Okay, here is a better one - taken before school got - how do I know?  I have make-up on, LOL!

See what I mean?  She's my pretty girl:)
And these two...my two other kids that still get me up at 5:30 every morning.

Meet Jax and Princess.  Oh these two.  I have a 10 year old that sleeps in, but these cats don't seem to understand it is summer(well for another week)!!

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...
*Coffee *Make-Up *Photography(used to take family pics on the side) *coffee *shopping *crafting(of any kind) *Scrapbooking(used to work for many scrapbook companies) *reading, but lately I am obsessed with listening to books while I work *coffee *girl time with my favorite girl *beach time *Disneyland I know there are more......

 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?
Definitely something crafty.  Making things, photographing them, sewing...all up my alley!

THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.
*Creative*Reliable*Dedicated

FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"
I really love doing report cards, said no teacher ever!  Ha!  Isn't that the truth!

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?
Hmmmm...famous?  JT(hello:), Oprah(can you say gifts for everyone?), Ellen(we need a dance leader), Farmer Chris from the Bachelor (eye candy), LOL! I love this list.

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?
How to do 5,432 things at one time!

Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?
The ability to freeze time, so I can sleep in, finish work, take a potty break at work, oh the list goes on...

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?
It is what it is

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 
I wouldn't, LOL!  I can't sing.  Ask any of my former students:)

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

Both!  But if I had to choose, it would be Night owl.  I get most my work done late at night.

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

All of them, duh:)  Kidding.  There are a few favorites that I just coldn't live without...

I made these last year when I had my combo(so there is one for 2nd grade too).  I am going to use them again this year.  It is a pack of enrichment activities that kiddos can do when they finish their work.  It is super easy to put together(just print and go), and the kiddos love them!

Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU!
hmmm...let's see I danced from the age of 4 to 18.  I've been published in many scrapbook magazines.  Not a huge fan of chocolate.

Yay!!  I can't wait to see what other teacher bloggers are out there and I have not met!
