I definitely qualify. This isn't my first Liebster, but after taking a few months of hiatus I lost the majority of my followers :( Fear not! I'm back and this time am determined to make this blog happen!
Heather has some questions for me to answer. Here we go!
1. What grade do you teach? What grades have you taught? How long have you been teaching?
I teach 8th grade Language Arts. I've taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade before. This is my 11th year teaching.
2. What book do you read to your class each year without fail? There are a few standard books that we read every year including The Giver by Lois Lowry. The kids start off completely confused and not really into it but by the end they're committed and are so upset by some of the events in the book.
3. If you weren't a teacher, what would you be doing? I think I would just be a mom. The best thing that ever happened was having my daughter, Avery. I love spending time with her and living her little Toddler Life.
4. What's one thing you're just dying to buy for your classroom? An assistant for myself. If I could afford to pay someone (or not! HA!) to be my assistant I would jump on it. There are so many things to do and just not enough hours in the school day.
5. What's your non-teaching guilty pleasure? Unfortunately, for my husband, it's shopping. More specifically online shopping. It's bad.
6. Favorite book that is not teaching related? Phillipa Gregory novels. Oh! And Jodi Picoult!!! Certain authors just do it for me. I've already made a post about John Green but I guess he's under the teaching related category? Maybe Gillian Flynn too. Gone Girl is crazy good. Seriously this was not a good question for a Language Arts teacher. I love to read. I'm going to stop answering this question now.
7. What's one thing on your bucket list? When I turned 30 (gulp!) I made a bucket list and did pretty much everything on it. I don't really have anything left. I do want to have another baby :)
8. Favorite restaurant? I love eating and food. Living in Texas though Mexican restaurants are the way to go!
9. Who would play you in a movie about your life? Natalie Portman? I don't know. Maybe I'm still living in John Green-land
10. What's one thing you could eat everyday? Chocolate and coffee. I know it's not healthy or anything but yeah. I'm in and good with it. Maybe some tasty pastries to boot.
11. What inspired you to begin blogging? I started blogging a few years because I'm also a knitter. I have another blog Adventures in Knitting that I started because I wanted to share my knitting highs and lows with other knitters. I've always liked writing and it's a creative expression for me. After working on that blog for awhile I realized I needed an outlet for my life as a middle school teacher. So, here we are!
11 Random Facts about ME.
- I'm a knitter
- I'm a mom- but I didn't have her until I was 33
- I have to start every day with coffee (this is how I know I'm addicted now)
- I'm a huge procrastinator
- I work best under pressure
- People think I'm organized, but I'm not (really- I'm not!)
- I can't stay up past 8:30 anymore. Toddler Life is hard y'all!
- Online shopping- yeah I know I mentioned it already but it's true
- I know the lyrics to Sophia the First, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Doc McStuffins
- I'm kind of obsessed with shoes. What's sad is that I don't wear them all. I'm really in love with my Tieks! They cost a pretty penny (Mr. Bush was not happy) but I wear them almost. every. day. I used to wear heels constantly but now that I'm at a school with two floors, it's more important that I don't break my neck walking up and down them. So I usually wear my Tieks or have them in my bag for when I need to trek all over the building.
- I also love office supplies. I could spend all day walking up and down the office supply aisles at Target or inside a Staples.
