Today I am linking up with Janis from Grade 3 is the Place for Me for her very first linky introducing us new bloggers out there. I have been so inspired and encouraged in my short time as a blogger and I am still awestruck by how many amazing teachers that are out there. Here are my stats:
1. What state you are in?
* I teach in (Southern) California
2. Your current teaching position…
* I will be teaching 4th grade this year at a new (my dream) school. There is a possibility that I will loop with my students and continue on with them in 5th grade.
3. Your teaching experience…
* I have taught 5th grade for 2 years, moved up to 6th and 7th grade for a year and then this past year I taught a 4/5 combo class! I have taught at 3 different schools, been pink slipped twice, laid off once and I have moved classrooms/schools EVERY that year I’ve taught!
4. When you started blogging…
* I started blogging less than a month ago
5. Share a blogging tip / blogging resource…
* I love linkys because it is so fun to be “on the same page” as other teachers who are thousands of miles away. So, I guess I would tell other newbie bloggers out there to link up to linky parties that interest you because they connect you, they introduce you to other bloggers out there and it’s fun!
Another great tip is to have a blogger friend who you can go to. I would not be here today if it wasn’t for one of my favorite people in the world Michelle at Apples and ABC’s. I text her blog questions late at night….. and she answers! We have blog dates.

Thanks again Janis
I'm so glad you joined the Newbie blog hop! Wow! I haven't had a blog date yet! I can't imagine moving classrooms/schools every year! I hope you get to stay in one spot!

I wouldn't know what to do I had to move classrooms every year.

I can't imagine how stressful your summers usually are with how you had to move classrooms so many time!!! I teach fifth also! Fourth/fifth combo sounds interesting!
