Hola! I am linking up with the ladies of Kinder Tribe for their first ever linky party. I truly do feel like teachers, especially kindergarten teachers, are my tribe. Sooo I just had to join these lovely ladies!
I absolutely cannot believe that this will be my NINTH year in the classroom. I still remember my first year like it was yesterday. I'm starting to feel old!
I absolutely positively cannot live without my coffee in the morning. Whether it's hot or iced, it's always by my side. My kinders sometimes whisper to each other "Don't touch her coffee!" Good advice, friends! I am a total grump without it.
I am obsessssed with markers of all types, and post its too. I can't stop buying them! Some of my favorite markers are Mr. Sketch, good old fashioned Crayolas (both thick and thin) and Flair pens (those count as markers, right? Kinda sorta).
I have so very many favorite books that it is truly hard to pick just one. If I had to, though, it would definitely be Miss Rumphius. The illustrations are so gorgeous and I love the strong, independent female main character. I grew up in Maine, and Barbara Cooney sets many of her books there, so I love them just a little bit more.
I have a ton of favorite kinder blogs, but I had to pick The Tutu Teacher because Vera is my friend in real life! And yes, she is just as bubbly and sweet as she seems on the internet. Here we are with Jillian {The Starr Spangled Planner} the first time that we ever got together. Now we have Margarita Mondays and we were even roomies in Vegas! #tbffs are the best kind of friends!
Who doesn't love the funny things that little ones say? I try to write down their little quotes so I don't forget. At the risk of sounding corny, I absolutely love when my kids' eyes light up. Whether they are understanding a concept for the first time, or just truly curious and excited about learning, it touches my heart and I get a lump in my throat. We have the best job ever!
