Newbie Blog Hop: Better Late Than Never?

Just found a new blog, Grade Three is the Place for Me and realized that she had hosted a Newbie Blog Hop last week. I figured I'd join up now, even if I'm a little late to the game. Hey, I've never been known for being on time...drives some people I know crazy...

Here are my answers to her questions!

1.  what state you are in

2.  your current teaching position

3.  your teaching experience

4.  when you started blogging

5.  share a blogging tip / blogging resource

1. I am in Ohio. (Go Bucks!) Born and raised, and returning to my wonderful hometown to begin Teaching Career, Part 2!

2. My current teaching position is a kindergarten extended day teaching position, combined with After Care Director for the Catholic grade school in which I'll be working. I'm finishing up my thesis this fall, so this should be a great balance of not-as-much-planning but still being in the classroom.

3. I taught preschool and kindergarten for two years in Massachusetts before moving back to Ohio last year to work on my Masters full time. I've also taught second, fourth, and sixth grades while student teaching in Tennessee and Reception/Year 1 combined age class in England (pre-K/kindergarten in America) as a study abroad opportunity.

4. I literally just started blogging a few weeks ago and have only published two posts...oops! I've followed teaching blogs for awhile now, and I love finding ideas and inspiration from those and Pinterest. I figured it was high time for me to join in the fun!

5. Um...I have no blogging tips?? I want to read all of your tips! Although, try as hard as you possibly can to use "to/two/too" and "your/you're" correctly....we're all teachers here, after all. :)

Looking forward to "meeting" some of you and getting ideas from so many other teachers!
