Meet The Teacher Blogger

I'm delighted to be linking up to the Meet the Teacher Linky!

Happy Hump Day! Whoop Whoop! My name is Carolyn.  I'm a  wife, mom, teacher, and new blogger.  This is my 19th year teaching.  I started out my career with 4th and 5th graders, taught 10 years of kindergarten, and spent many years subbing and doing educational therapy.  Last year I was in special education and co-taught in a 4th grade inclusion class.  This year I'm the general education teacher in a co-taught 5th grade inclusion class.  I'm so excited to get back in the classroom and try out all the new ideas I found on Pinterest this summer! 😊 

I've been married to this amazing man for 28 years. We've got 3 amazing kids and 2 amazing grandkids.  Life is good!

 {I moved rooms this summer.}

I've been busy this summer with my family, friends, a trip to the mountains and ALMOST weekly trips to the beach for the day! (One of the advantages of living 45 minutes away from the beach!)

 THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

Hubby~Kiddos~GRAND BABIES~The Beach~The Mountains~READING~Grilling Out~MUSIC Chocolate Chip Cookies~Colored Pens~Snow Days~Chocolate Covered Raisins~Cashews~Movies

TEACHING ~ MY PUPPY!

 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

The only thing I've ever wanted to be was a mom and a teacher.  

I consider myself blessed to be both and now a Grandma!  

THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.

Passionate~Loving~Worker  

 

FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"

"I'm SO excited to work on my lesson plans ALL weekend...said no teacher EVER!!"
 

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?

Definitely my Dad ~ It's been 10 years and I still miss him like crazy.  He's my hero!

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?

 Life is Good!

 Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?

My superpower would be that I could go without sleeping or at least on just a few hours a day!

I always need more time!!

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths your take, but by the  moments that take your breath away." 
 

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 

 "This Is Your Life" - Switchfoot

 

 Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?

Mornings ~ I wake up early ALL the time.  When I retire some day I will definitely be a night person.

I love to stay up late and sleep in!  

 

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RESOURCE THAT YOU'VE CREATED IN YOUR TPT SHOP?

 It's a brand new product that includes everything you need to start and run a Classroom Economy.  I used to do this with my kindergarten kiddos on a much smaller scale.  Now I've ramped it up for 5th grade and can't wait to get started.  I think the kids are going to LOVE it!  The BEST thing about it is that it's 100% editable!  You can personalize every page for your classroom setup.  Details to follow on how to implement the program.  

Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU! 

I am a very picky eater!  I don't like very many vegetables which makes eating healthy quite a challenge.  Since my son is getting married this fall ~ I need to do something QUICK!
