I am so excited to be nominated for the Liebster Award. I was nominated by Emily from Confessions of a 3rd Grade Teacher. The award is given to up and coming bloggers with less than 200 followers.
Here are the rules for accepting this award:
- Link back to the blog that nominated you
- Nominate 5-11 blogs with fewer than 200 followers
- Answer the questions posted for you by your nominator
- Share 11 random facts about yourself
- Create 11 questions for your nominees
- Contact your nominees by commenting on their blog or sending them an email to communicate the nomination
- If you could have any superpower what would it be? Why? To see into the future- I am such a planner and would love to be able to see what's coming up.
- What is your favorite teaching item? Why? Promethean Board- I love integrating technology into my lessons and making them interactive and fun.
- If you could relive a day in your past, what day would it be? Why? I would love to spend another day with my grandmother. She was the reason I became a teacher and my best friend. She passed away two years ago at 98 years old. I would love to spend one more day with her.
- What are you looking forward to most about the upcoming school year? I am starting a new grade (I am going to blog about this later) and a new county. I am excited and anxious about the transition.
- Why did you decide to start blogging? I started my blog this year as my New Year's resolution. I love finding new, creative ideas on other blogs and wanted to do the same for other teachers.
- If someone were to write a book about you, what would it be called? Eat. Sleep. Teach- This is my life. Everywhere I go and every thing I do involves teaching. :)
- What is your favorite book to read to students? Sideways Stories From Wayside School- It is a great real aloud and my students love it every year. The characters are funny and the chapters are short enough to read a couple of chapters every day.
- What is a classroom item you don't have that you wish you did? Why? I would love to have a class set of laptops! I can think of so many fun projects and ideas that we could do with this technology.
- What advice would you give a first year teacher? To have fun with it and immerse yourself in teaching. Your students can tell when you want to be there and love what you do.
- Why did you decide to become a teacher? My grandmother and older sister were both teachers. Ever since I was little, that is the only job I have ever wanted. I used to play school with my little sister and children that my mom babysat for.
- Who is your hero? Why? My hero is my grandmother. She lived every single day to the fullest and was so positive and optimistic. I never once heard her say a negative thing. I try every day to be like her.
