What book inspired you as a student?
I loved the "Little House On The Prairie" books! Those
books really helped me to become interested in reading, which led to reading
becoming one of my favorite hobbies. I usually read a book a week during the
school year and can read a couple of books a week during the summer.
What is something you would like to see in the future, for
education?
I would like for students to have the opportunity to read for fun,
or at least have more control over what they read. I know so many students
these days do not want to read because they are told what they have to read and
they do not get the opportunity to read genres and types of text that are
interesting to them. Then they start feeling like reading is a chore that has
to be done for school because they have a book they have to read for AR or for a
project or one that is assigned by their teacher and they do not have the
chance to read a book of their choosing. I wish that students would have more
opportunities to pick books that are interesting to them so that they will want
to read and find that reading can be fun and not just something you have to do
for school.
What is something fun about you that teachers don't know about
you?
I love to travel. There is not anywhere that I'm not willing to go
visit at least once. Here is a list of a few of the places that I've been:
Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Italy, Greece, France, Spain and England.
What was your first 'Free' item that you posted up on Teachers
Pay Teachers? What made you
choose that?
Frog
Theme Math Game Sorting Even and Odd Numbers 1-20
I chose this game because when I joined TPT, this was a game that
I had just made to use in my classroom and my students really enjoyed it. This
game led to the creation of a couple of other frog themed games.
What was your first 'Paid' item that you posted up on Teachers
Pay Teachers? What made you choose
that?
I believe my first paid item is
my Word
Families File Folder Games
I chose this one because I had made a set of word family games to
go along with our frog theme that we had in the spring. I split the games up
into different groups (there is also a part 2 and part 3) and decided to put
them on TPT along with my frog math game freebie.
Your favorite teaching quote is...
“You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you
choose." by Dr. SeussI have this quote in a frame on my teacher's desk.
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” by Dr. Seuss
This quote is on the wall in my reading center.
What is your 'Go To' time filler?
When I need to fill time, I have a container that has flash cards
to different games. I recently discovered the "I have _____, who has
_____" games and I love them! I also have fun/silly games in there such as
rhyming games, finish the sentence, and a 20 questions game.
