Liebster Award

I am so happy to announce that I have been nominated for the Liebster Award by Kelsey from Aloha to Kindergarten.

This award is given to up-and-coming bloggers who have fewer than 200 followers as a way to welcome them to the blogosphere! How nice!

 

As a nominee, my job is to answer Kelsey's questions and share 11 random facts about myself before nominating five other new bloggers! 

 

Here are Kelsey's questions and my answers:

 

1. What grade do you teach? What grades have you taught? How long have you been teaching? 

 

I currently teach kindergarten. I have only ever taught kindergarten! I have been teaching for 5 years.

 

2. Which book do you read to your class every year without fail? 

 

JunieB. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus! It’s a favorite!

 

3. If you weren't a teacher, what would you be doing? 

 

If I wasn’t a teacher I would be a baker or a restaurant owner. I love to cook and create new dishes. Baking is a stress reliever.

 

4. What is one thing you're just dying to buy for your classroom? 

 

I want my class to have a set of matching tee shirts, so that we can wear them during assemblies and field trips.

 

5. What's your non-teaching guilty pleasure? 

 

My guilty pleasure is shopping, I love browsing and finding something new. It doesn’t matter if it’s the grocery store, antique store, thrift shop or the mall. I just love finding new treasures.

 

6. What is your favorite book that is not teaching related? 

 

My all-time favorite book is The Giver. I love reading dystopian books.

 

7. What is one thing on your bucket list? 

 

 I want to travel to every continent. I have been to Europe, Mexico, Canada, but I have so many more places to visit.

 

8. What is your favorite restaurant? 

 

I have to say my parent’s restaurant Delish Café because I eat there at least once a day! I also love the local sushi place Umi Grill, I could eat sushi everyday if it wasn’t so darn expensive.

 

9. Who would play you in a movie about your life? 

 

Rashida Jones or Mila Kunis

                        

 

10. What's one thing you could eat every day? 

 

Sushi or shrimp.

 

11. What inspired you to start blogging? 

 

I was inspired by all of the blogs out there. There are so many amazing things going on in classrooms every day and I wanted to share what my kiddos were doing.
