Angela over at The Daily Alphabet has tagged me in my first ever bloggy game! I have to tell 12 things about myself, then answer 12 questions from the person who tagged me, and then create 12 brand NEW questions!!!! Whew!!!! That sounds like a lot, but here goes!
1. I have just recently started my own blog after many months of blog stalking! I`ll admit, it`s been tougher than I thought!
2. Aside from teacher blogs, I LOVE pinterest! I`ve found sooo many awesome ideas that I’ve used in my classroom already!
3. This summer I am going to Africa to help build a school – I am ALL kinds of excited about it and I can`t wait!
4. I absolutely love musicals. This coming weekend I am going to Beauty and The Beast!
5. I teach Kindergarten to Grade 4 in one classroom! Some say it sounds crazy but I actually love teaching a multi-age class!
6. I got a Cricut machine for Christmas but I really need someone to help me out with it! I think I have the basics but I know it is capable of so much more!
7. Recently I`ve been having thoughts about going back to school to work on my Post-Bachelors degree – any insight?
8. I think I may even love it more than a SmartBoard because there is not an actual board taking up space when it is not in use!
9. Last week I went to an incredible PD session on Children`s Art in Literature – I must remember to share more in a later blog post.
10. I am a sucker for reality T.V. Is that a good thing or a bad thing …. well I’m still not sure!
11. My favourite colour is purple.
12. I love spending my summers relaxing at the cabin!
Ok – Onto Angela`s Questions:
1. If you were not a teacher, what would you be?
If I were not a teacher, I would probably run my own daycare, I love children!
2. Paper or plastic.
Paper? I am obsessed with buying coloured paper to create materials.
3. What is one thing that you wish you had learned when you were younger?
I wish someone would have told me to take advantages of any travel opportunities possible. My schools often had trips planned and I never took advantage of the great opportunities L
4. What advice would you give to novice teachers that you wished you had received?
I`m only in my third year of teaching so I am still a novice teacher learning from others too!
5. Do you like technology? Why or why not?
I love it when it`s working! Nothing is better than being able to interactively learn in the classroom with technology.
6. How and why did you begin blogging?
I began blogging to share my ideas and TPT items with the many other teachers I blog stalk on daily basis!
7. Do you have a class pet? Why or why not?
Nope. It`s not allowed at my school.
8. If there was one thing that you wished you were allowed to do in your classroom, what would it be?
This is a tough one but I would LOVE to paint my classroom! I`ve seen many classrooms with murals or `clipart` that has looked so cool!
9. What is your classroom decor style?
Bright colours and lots of student work displayed.
10. Where do you want to be in 3 years?
I hope to have a full-time permanent job in the city that my boyfriend and I decide to reside in after he completes university.
11. What is something that you wished you would have done differently in the beginning of your teaching career?
I think it is really still too early for me to tell only having 2 years under my belt!
12. What will you do this weekend?
I`m going to the Beauty and The Beast musical – seriously cannot wait!
My 12 Questions:
1. What is your favourite children`s book?
2. Where is your favourite place to shop for teaching stuff?
3. Where would you go on a dream vacation?
4. What advice do you have to new bloggers like myself?

The Paleo is all about going back to the kind of meat they tend to find.
Here is my blog; http://vetaugz.datingish.hk/772643905/approach-type-diet-2/
The paleo diet is usually lower in carbs. It isn't so much a diet as a way of indicating that the short lifespan was as a result of poor planning and a lack of communication between your nervous system and your immune system? Under each category, I have loudly applauded.
My web blog :: free caveman diet recipes
Energy Bar Recipe : Easy, No-bake The Diet, and
as of this day January 31, 2010 she has close to normal BG and requires no
insulin. Some of the recipes in the book, type O needs a more
carnivorous diet. They want a good amount of its
major problems in this department, and so far what we've seen so far. DisplayAs we mentioned, the screen is in the Bible. That leaves us with 802.
