Meet the Teacher Blogger

Hey all! I'm so late linking up with Falling Into First, but I thought - better late than never! I've been working on this post for a few days now between setting my classroom up for the beginning of the school year. I didn't know what would be posted first - my meet the teacher blogger post or my classroom setup post! I'm very excited to post both (eventually).

Hey there, everyone! I'm Kristin. I'm heading into my fourth year of teaching. This will be my third year of teaching second grade. I'm a 26 year old teacher blogger from Illinois. I'm so excited to finally be staying in the same room and grade for a second year! It was wonderful this summer not having to fully pack everything up and set up again, but it was still a lot of work getting ready for the year. I'm so excited to welcome my new students into the room, especially the ones I had in summer school who know what it looked like before I got it fully into working order.

This is me and the Mister hanging out at Citi Field on our vacation to New York last year. We've been married for just under three years now. It's crazy how time flies by! Our puppy Murphy completes our family. He's just the right amount of obedient, stubborn, quirky, and lovable.

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

Decorative journals, colored pens, new clothes, chocolate croissants, Camelback water bottles, Google Play Radio, Jimmy Fallon Lip-sync Battles, laminating sleeves, organization systems, eggs in a basket, to do lists, freshly threaded eyebrows, and 2048.

 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

There are so many things that I am interested in! I originally started school for Hospitality. I wanted to be an event planner. Sometimes, I enjoy doing graphic design which is why I opened my own design blog That Fancy Blog Boutique. Other times, I like to pretend I could make it big if I ever auditioned for a show like American Idol. I think I might be a little delusional. OH WAIT! I really want to be an author! That's it!!

THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.

Excitable. Storyteller. Nosy.

 

FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"

"Sure, we can do birthday cupcakes at 8:30 a.m."
 

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?

I'm a HP fan (well, moreso in HS than now), so probably a cast member or two. I wouldn't even care which ones! I'd need to invite my HS bestie also because we both were HP super fans in HS.

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?

Teaching in a Nutshell

 Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?

 

It's kind of a toss up between teleportation and telekinesis. Both are very tempting.

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

"If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing."
 

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 

I've almost auditioned before but couldn't decide what song to sing. I had my wristband and everything, but ended up not going the day of. My #1 song contender was Love Song by Sara Bareilles.

 

 Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?

It really just depends. I'm more of a late afternoon/early evening person.

Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU! 

I have the most fabulous dreams. In HS, one of my friends and I used to share our strange dreams every time we had one. I've ridden a bounce house like a magic carpet, escaped from invading soldiers, spent an entire day hanging out at the library with my teaching friends, and been chased by a purple and green spotted Jaba the Hut like monster who wanted me to lay an egg. I recently started sharing my strange dreams with a teacher friend. She is super amused.

Have you linked up yet? If you're late to the party like me, there's still time. Head on over and link up!
