Top Ten Things About Myranda

10. I am a Southern girl through and through....and Kentucky has more snow, ice, and "pop" (that's soda Coke if you're a southerner like me) than I know what to do with!
9. My husband is a baseball coach, which means his job drags me to a new place pretty often and I get to watch a LOT of baseball.
8. I have two dogs, Dax and Lily, and I tend to treat them like my children.
7. My husband and I bought our first home last summer and I LOVE to decorate....and redecorate!
6. One of my favorite things about teaching is the *Cute Stuff*....cute fonts, cute clipart, cute paper products, etc.  *Cute Stuff* is my guilty pleasure!
5. In five years of teaching, I have taught kindergarten, second grade, and third grade. While I loved each of these grade levels, my *specialty* seems to be third grade. I have also taught in three diffferent schools, in three different counties (and two different states) during this time. (See #9 above for an explanation of that!)
4. My mom taught me to sew a couple of years ago and it is now one of my favorite hobbies.  (Be watching for the post on setting up my classroom for a few ways that this has helped me in my love of *Cute Stuff*!)
3. I love to read newspapers and professionals journals most anything, just for fun!  My favorites are mystery and suspense novels and anything mushy and romantic!
2. I am terrified of clowns!
1. I absolutely love teaching and I couldn't imagine doing anything else!


I'm looking forward to sharing this school year with you!

10 Things About Sarah

Go Fourth! With Mrs. Owens is hosting a 10 Things About Me Linky Party and I think this is the perfect way to kick off our new blog! Here are 10 things about me:

1. I am terrified of gigantic objects. So far the 2 worst that I've seen have been Cruise Ships and hot air balloons.

2. I have officially been teaching first grade longer than I taught second grade and I can honestly say that I prefer first. I love my little kiddos!

3. I have an obsession with iced coffee. I don't care how cold it is outside, I want it iced.

4. I'm not a very good singer, but I LOVE to sing in my car. The louder the better.

5. I'm the grim reaper for plants. I can't keep them alive no matter what I do.

6. My favorite subject to teach is Reading.

7. I'm a big time hypochondriac. I can't watch any TV shows about sick people because then I'm convinced I have whatever it is they had.

8. I have a hairless cat (yes, just like the one in Austin Powers) and he may as well be my child.

9. I love to sew and read blogs about sewing.

10. I have the best job in the world!
