Tell me more, tell me more!

I love link parties! It's a great way to find new blogs and new bloggy friends =)

Hop on over to Step into Second Grade, and link up!



1.) I HATE flying! So much so, on a recent trip to New Orleans, the lady sitting next to me thought it was my first flight...it wasn't!

2.) I tried sweet tea, Chick-Fil-A, shrimp po-boy, and a hurricane while in New Orleans! Loved the first 3! The hurricane, not so much.

3.) I have never been to the east coast, until this past Sunday. I fell in love with Pensacola Beach, Florida!


4.) I never sleep on the side of the bed that is closest to the door, EVER!

5.) Besides dogs, elephants are my favorite animals.


6.) I have a phobia of fish. Fish in tanks, fish in the river, fish in the ocean. Hyperventilation inducing phobia. 

7.) Although I may not look it, I am half Mexican. My momma was born and raised in Mexico. She doesn't look it either!



8.) School supply shopping is my favorite time of year. I'm starting school again in August to finish my teaching degree, and I was a little too excited to get a new backpack!



9.) I'm a closet geek! I grew up playing Mario!


10.) I love country music! Especially a little Tim McGraw!

Classroom Theme Linky


Corinna over at Surfin' Through Second is having a Linky about classroom themes. Granted, I'm not done with my education degree YET, but that doesn't mean I can't participate. =)

If I were to start getting my room together next month, I would go with the theme of owls! 

Look at these super cute name tags from Teacher's World in Kennewick, WA!


And matching incentive charts! (Also from Teacher's World!)

And my Back-to-School bulletin board would be "Look Whooo is in ______ grade!" With all the students name's on an owl 

I love how colorful all the owls are, and that there is a variety of patterns on all of them!

What's your classroom theme for the 2012-2013 school year?
