3.  Favorite thing to create and share with fellow teachers!

I loved creating science stations, but right now I really love making math intervention materials.  Both are things I wantedbut had trouble finding.  So, I made them myself!

4.  Biggest inspiration?

My biggest inspiration is definitely my class.  Without my students, I would have no real purpose in creating activities.  I absolutely love teaching and I can’t imagine not working with students on a regular basis.  I am also inspired by some amazing bloggers out there:  

5.  Featured Product:  Free or Paid

7.  Tell us about your OUT OF THE CLASSROOM life!

I live in Austin, Texas and absolutely love the city.  I love to travel and go new places.  It can be across the country or just a new place in town.  One day, I just walked around taking pictures of wall art and graffiti to make a collage to decorate my apartment.  I love going out and exploring, but I also enjoy taking it easy and just watching Netflix or doing a crossword.  

8.  Most embarrassing teaching moment!!! Come on girls we all have one!

Ever read something incorrectly when doing a read aloud?  Well, I do from time to time, but one particular time, I was supposed to read, “The crowd clapped.”  Instead, I said, “The cloud crapped.”  Some of my kids LOST IT and I had to stop right there and call it a day!
