Get to know ME :D

1. What is your favorite book for kids… something you would like to use in your future classroom? Why do you like it?

My favorite book for kids is "Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon". I love this book because the students can relate to how Molly feels and teaches them that everyone is different, so we should accept our differences and love it!

2. Name your three favorite T.V. shows, even if you don’t have time to watch them! What can you (or what are you willing to) tell me about your T.V. viewing habits? I’ll tell you mine if you’ll tell me yours!

My favorite TV shows are:
Full House
Americas Funniest Home Videos
Ace of Cakes (I think that's what it's called)or Cake Boss

When I do get the time to watch these shows I love it! I don't watch TV very often. When I am at home I watch it more frequently than when I am at my apartment. I try to finish my homework before I watch anything on TV.

3. Do you collect anything? Tell about your collections:

I collect porcelain dolls, fabric, pictures and journals. When I was little I used to collect porcelain dolls and I still have them! I LOVE to sew, so I like finding new material for new projects. I think that it is fun to look back with pictures and journals to see what I have done in my lifetime.

4. Do you keep any kind of a journal (or blog?) besides this one? Tell me about it, and what you like to write about:

I do! I have a couple of different journals that I write in. My personal journal, my scripture study journal and my writer's notebook. I have another blog besides this one that I like to write anything. I like it because I can just write all of my thoughts down, I don't have to worry about anyone else reading it.

5. If you had to be the sponsor of an after-school group, select your 1st, 2nd & 3rd choices:__ contemporary moral issues __peer relationships__national security __world peace__career opportunities & choices __art or music appreciation__gender issues __ethnicity issues__death & dying __sports__book club __writers group__ecology __tutoring

1st: Peer Relationships
2nd: Book Club
3rd: Writers Group

6. Have you ever taken art lessons or attended art classes outside of school? Tell about your artistic talent and/or interests:

I did take a pottery class like 5 years ago, I loved it! I have also taken a sewing class. The other experiences that I have had with art would be from school. I love to create and make new things! I used to think that when you created something it had to be 'perfect' to be good, but now I understand that anything you create is unique to you. It's an expression of who you are.

7. Have you ever taken music lessons or belonged to musical groups outside of school? Tell about your musical talent and/or interests:

I have previously taken violin lessons. I have played the violin for about 10 years. I enjoy fiddling and playing upbeat pieces. Also, my favorite type of music to listen to is country.

8. Have you ever taken dance lessons or belonged to dance groups? Tell about your dance talent and/or interests:

I took dance lessons growing up. I have taken social dance classes as well. I enjoy western swing dancing:)

9. Have you ever taken drama classes or performed in a theater production? Tell about your theater talents and/or interests:

I haven't taken any drama classes, besides creative arts, but I was in a play in middle school. I was in the play "The Music Man." I thought it was pretty fun but I didn't want a big part in the play because I don't like being the center of attention.

10. What have I not asked you, that you would like me to know about you?

I am SOOO excited to TEACH!!! I think that I have gotten so much out of the Education Program that I wasn't expecting. I have learned so much about myself and how I learn best because of the various ways that I have been taught to teach. My whole life I was taught that there was only one real answer, but in the program it has taught me to look at everything from many angles.
