Fancy Ideas for the Everyday Classroom

Newbie Bloggers Blog Hop

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 


Grade Three is the Place for Me!

  6. In California we just have to remember how blessed we are to have a teaching job, right? =)

    Hope you have a great year @ your new school!

  8. I'm also a newbie blogger! What part of Southern Cali are you in? I'm originally from Anaheim, but I currently live in St. Louis, Missouri. I'm now following you and would love for you to check out my blog!
