Meet the Teacher Monday

It is Teacher Week at Blog Hoppin'.  Today is Meet the Teacher Monday, where teacher bloggers from all over share a little bit about themselves.  
Tell us a little something about you...
I'm a small town girl living next to a big city.  I have a wonderful husband and a cat who we are sure is going to live forever.  She was old when we got her and we have had her ten years.  I love to read science fiction/fantasy and watch action movies.  My favorite book is a relatively unknown book:  Blue Moon Rising by Simon R. Green.  My favorite young adult series is The Hunger Games. 

How long have you been teaching?
I have just started my tenth year teaching.  I can't believe how the time has flown.  I have only worked in one school but have had different positions.  My current position is PK-3rd grade Master Teacher.  I am relying on all the great elementary blogs out there for ideas because I have only taught middle school (6th-8th grades) before this.  Change is not easy but it is invigorating.

You might not know... 
that I love to watching cooking shows (Food Network) but I cannot cook myself.  I have also picked up a new interest obsession, Pinterest.

What are you looking most forward to this school year?
I am looking forward to working with the wonderful group of teachers I will be helping this year.  I really do work with some of the best teachers out there.  They are as much of a resource to me as I am to them.  I am also looking forward to implementing all the great ideas I have been gathering from the fabulous blogs I follow.

What do you need to improve?

I need to work on modeling instead of telling, with my teachers and my students.  I need to be the model for my teachers so they can be a model for their students.

What teaching supplies can you *not* live without?
I CANNOT live without Sharpies, of any kind.  I LOVE the new Sharpie pens.  I also have every color of Sharpie marker and highlighter.  For making charts, I use the Flip Chart Markers from Sharpie.  I may have an addiction.


Second most important teaching supply - blogs.  I get the best ideas for classroom decorations, resources, lesson plans, and most importantly SUPPORT.
