Tagged...

It's no surprise, I've been tagged and now I'm it - I run slower than molasses in January.  Mrs. McNutt over at Be a Nut with Mrs. McNutt tagged me. She's a new blogger and I was her 2nd follower.  She's up to 7 followers - maybe you could click {HERE} and make her day by following her newbie blog!!!

I really like my questions {at the very end}...so if you weren't tagged - feel free to answer any or all in a comment below {See how I try to trick you into leaving comments?!? I'm pretty good, eh?}

So here are the rules:

1. You must post the rules.
2. Post 12 fun facts about yourself on the blog post.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and then create 12 new questions for the people you tagged.
4. Tag 12 people and link them on your post.
5. Let them know you've tagged them!

Twelve Fun Facts:
1.  I can roll my tongue
2.  One leg is smaller than the other
3.  I like to listen to NPR
4.  My nostrils are my least favorite part of my body
5.  I'm doing Biggest Loser at my school, sadly I usually win or come in the top three...I say sadly    because I rock it out when it comes to weight loss...I just can't keep it off
6.  I'm running a 5k on Super Bowl Sunday
7.  My ears are pierced but I never wear earrings
8.  I like bubble baths - Mr. Bubble is my favorite

9.  My biggest pet peeve is people who talk, talk, talk but don't listen
10. I have really good friends
11. Perfumes give me a headache, but I can wear yummy smelling lotions, my current favorite is Jingle Bellini - Bath and Body Works


12. I love being a mom to two boys!

Twelve Questions - Answered...

1. Why did you decide to create a blog?  Honestly, I'm not sure why - maybe because I wanted to reciprocate all of the generosity that is found in blogland.  Maybe because I wanted to stretch myself and learn something new?!  I didn't really mull it over, I just did it on a whim...
2. How did you learn the tricks of blogging? I did a lot of stalking and Rebecca over at Teaching First was so patient with me and answered my many questions!
3. Do you have any hobbies? Running, reading, blogging, teaching, watching my boys play sports and one day I will get that piano! {So I can re-learn how to play}
4. In my spare time I like to chat on the phone, blog, or do any of the above hobbies.
5. My biggest challenge in the classroom is knowing that many of my kids do not get the support they need at home...I carry that burden on my shoulders...helping them overcome this lack of support.
6. What is your go to behavior modification plan for little ones who struggle with your whole class behavior plan? I don't really have a "Go To" behavior mod. I'm chef's surprise when it comes to that.  I always try to figure out WHY they are doing what they are doing and go from there.
7. What is one funny thing a student told you? When I was pregnant with my first one of my little girls came up to me and said "Mrs. W. I found out how your baby is going to come out {I wasn't fast enough to stop her...she kept going} and you DON'T want to know"...HA!
8. Does your school use a reading and math curriculum? We use Bridges/Number corner for math and Reader's Workshop for reading. 
9. Where is one place you would love to visit? Hawaii
10. What is your favorite store?  Target
11. What is your favorite meal? Meatloaf, stuffing, fresh green beans
12. I couldn't be organized without Binders.

  10. Hey Holly,

    Thanks for posting a comment. In response to your question...

    I find myself making my own lessons than anything else for a few reasons.

    1) I like to create lessons....I know Im weird...
    2) I can't find anything in my content area
    3) I like my lessons to be JAZZED up with "bells and whistles."
    4) I like theme lessons
    5) I've been buying up digital clip art like crazy and I need to put it to good use!

  11. Just read your great long comment and I loved it! Thanks for the feedback. Will you send me an email about the CAFE and explain it to me or guide me to some resources? I have heard of it but I am not quite sure I understand it all. You can do this whenever you have the time. Truly I am geared up to TOTALLY redo my reading block for next year. My instructional coach/bff plan on spending the entire summer revamping, but you know me I love to plan and get ideas ahead of time. Thanks!!
