My 11 questions from Kristin 

1 - Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging because many of the friends at my school were starting to get into it and it looked fun and a great way to meet people! I also started to read others blogs more and more often and thought, "hm I could do this!"   I love sharing ideas and seeing others ideas!

2 - What is your favorite thing about blogging?

I love being able to share my ideas with whoever!  I also love the designing part of the blog...they are so cute!!!

 

3 - Which Linky is your favorite so far?

I love the Five for Friday from Doodlebugs because it is a quick snapshot of five things and I really enjoy it! 

 

4 - What advice do you have for beginning teachers?

COMMUNICATE with your parents and COLLABORATE with your team!  Life will be a lot easier if you do those two things! :)

 

5 - What is your favorite part about teaching?

I love when the kids get excited about learning and seem like they are having fun learning.
