Teaching

Meet the Teacher!

Tomorrow will be my first day back at work. On Wednesday, I’ll meet my students at registration. I’m super excited! I love the beginning of the year, when we’re all getting to know one another. So… here I am!

My name is Becky (obviously!) and I teach fifth grade ELA and social studies. This will be my tenth year of teaching, and I teach at the same school where I did my internship. I love it! In the past, I’ve taught 4th and 5th grades, and reading intervention. Fifth is definitely my favorite.

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS…
Office supplies, Coke zero, wearing boots with skirts, rainy days, orchids, Target, flying in planes, Tegan and Sara, Doctor Who, reading.

IF YOU WEREN’T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE? I think I’d want to be a grief counselor. Actually, I know that’s what I’d want to be. I want to be that right now. In addition to teaching, obviously!

THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.
Organized, friendly, loyal.

FINISH THE SENTENCE, “____, SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!” “I’d love to fill out extra paperwork,” said no teacher ever!

Q: IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING? My dad, who passed away in 2005. I would love to talk to him again. Also, though, Vincent Van Gogh.

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE? I got nothin’ on this one.

Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT? The ability to read people’s minds.

Q: WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING? “I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” – Galileo. Also, “For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.” – Vincent Van Gogh

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Ha! The idea of me singing anything in front of anyone is horrifying, but I would go with either “Open Arms” by Journey or “Sister Christian” by Night Ranger. Mostly because the audience would probably sing along.

Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL? Totally a night owl. Just this morning my husband asked, “Are you okay? You have problems in the mornings.”

Q: WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE RESOURCE THAT YOU’VE CREATED IN YOUR TPT SHOP? Probably the yearly agenda/planner that I made. Everything in one place!

Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU! My goal in life is to own a Pug. They are so adorable! I need one!!
