1. Why did you start blogging?
When I discovered teacher websites I was hooked! Slowly my website love morphed into blog love. I love the ability to see what teachers in Hawaii, Canada, and Australia are doing in their classrooms! How great is that!! I love reading what teachers are doing in their classrooms, hearing about their frustrations and loves. Blogs inspire me and keep me going:) I entered the blogging world tentatively (It is scary putting yourself out there) but I am getting braver day by day.
2. What is your favorite subject to teach and why?
I love to teach READING! It is my passion and being in intervention specialist allows me to to see a child progress from a non reader to a fluent reader. Man! Does that put a smile on my face:)
3. Describe your teaching style.
I am a hands on teacher. I believe in using multisensory techniques to teach when at all possible. I believe in routine but I also feel that it is important to adjust your teaching to meet the needs of your students. I am a student centered teacher:)
4. Give three interesting facts about you.
Three interesting facts about me..........hmmmm.........My kids are ten years apart so I am experiencing the terrible twos and the terrible teens simultaneously. I was an exchange student in high school and spent a yearish abroad in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Finally I am a total HGTV addict. Really I watch so much Property Brothers, House Hunters, and Love it or List it that I could become a cast member of the show:)
5. Do you have a TpT store? If yes, post the link :)
Yes I do have a TPT store. It is called the Phonics Phenomenon. I hope with some down time this summer I can get some more creations completed and posted. Feel free to check it out!
Welcome to the blog world! I am a new blogger as well and I live in Ohio! I am planning to make some new creations this summer as well. I am your newest follower.:)

The Teaching Twosome
Very excited to read your bio. I went through a Wilson workshop back in the fall and I am spending time this summer figuring out how it can work in my first grade class.
ReplyDeleteDitto on HGTV. I know you are not supposed to have the tv on when you are going to sleep. But House Hunters is on just about every night when I crawl into bed.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
School Is a Happy Place
