I am interrupting my reading marathon to join the teacher blogger linky party. I shouldn't....in order to complete my summer book-a-day challenge, I need to finish my last 16 books by Monday! Anyway I love this week of linky parties. I get to learn about a bunch of new bloggers and sneak inside classrooms across the county...so cool!
Oregon is my home. I have lived just outside of Portland my entire life. I love the rainy days and the weird things that go on in Portland....as long as I don't have to participate:-) I have an adorable lhasa apso named Reese...who is not going to be happy next week adjusting to back to school schedules.
This will be my 12th year teaching. (My first class of 1st graders are seniors!) During the past 12 years, I have taught 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and a couple years with 2/3 blends. I honestly don't know if I have a favorite....but I do really enjoy reading with 3rd graders.

When I was growing up, my grandmas had a giant jar full of fun shaped or colored soap. I now have her jar and have started my own collection of soap.

Happy Tuesday,
I didn't think of Jimmy Fallon but he would be awesome to have at a birthday party! I love watching his Lip Sync Battles! The one with Emma Stone is the best!!

It's so crazy how time flies! My first class of first graders will be sophomores this year. I keep up with a few of the moms from that class and it's so funny to see those kids driving now! I love your favorite quote! That's a good one!

Learning is a Journey
I really do enjoy you and your blog. I miss you when you're reading and at the same time, I'm jealous that you've read way more books than I have this summer. I only got to 25. :)

p.s. There is no old like having a child of a former student in your class!
