Questions from Sarah
1. Where did you go on your honeymoon, or where would you like to go for your honeymoon?
1. Where did you go on your honeymoon, or where would you like to go for your honeymoon?
My husband and I didn't technically have a honeymoon...we were married in Michigan and then spent the week after our wedding driving back to Washington where we live
2. You're leaving work late, again, and you are just too tired to make dinner. Where do you stop to get a quick bite on the way home?
I don't! I get home and whine about it to my husband and then let him go and grab something from wherever he wants!! :)
3. Do you sit down and eat your lunch? Or do you have a "working lunch"?
I usually sit down- I really like my co-workers and we talk about tv shows, books, shopping- it's a fun time to just be away from my classroom and relax for a few minutes!
4. What is your go-to thing to do when you need to get away from it all (work out...call up a friend for a coffee date...)?
Sleep!!
5. When did you know you were meant to be a teacher?
I spent some time as a nanny for a special needs-but undiagnosed- child and I spent every day in the classroom with him until things could be figured out. I really enjoyed being in the classroom.
6. If you hadn't become a teacher, what would you have been?
I probably would have just found a customer service job- I like talking to people while I'm at work.
7. Do you have siblings?
I have an older brother, a younger brother and a younger sister.
8. Do you have pets?
My little man, Emmett
9. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Disney World, Poland, Costa Rica, Travel throughout South America...I have a long list!
10. If you could have dinner with anyone in the world, who would it be? Why?
Diane Ravitch-I was lucky enough to hear her speak earlier this year and I was inspired by her passion for education and treating educators with respect. I admire her willingness to put herself out there to be criticized by others because she truly believes that she can make a difference and improve education.
11. What color pen do you correct student work with?
Any color that is laying around!
After extensive internet sleuthing I am noticing that the majority of the blogs I follow have already received the Liebster award or have more than 200 followers! If you are interested in this award, consider this my nomination of you- and let me know who you are so that I can follow you back!! :)
