My Questions from It's Raining Resources
1. What is your favorite holiday tradition? My favorite holiday tradition is opening one present on Christmas Eve.
2. How do you get to school each day? I only live 3 miles from school so it's a quick drive in my BMW.
3. What is a management tip/strategy that never fails for you? Students love any reward system so I like a new one each month. At Christmas we make behavior chains and attach them to our desks( in groups of 4). Each week we count to see which group has the longest and then can get a reward. you have to find what your students like then choose a reward they will work toward.
4. How many countries have you been to? I have only been to Canada but it's only five miles from my home as we live very close to the border.
5. What is the best book you've ever read? I couldn't choose- there are so many good ones.
6. Why do you teach? I teach because I love it!
7. Red licorice or black? Red- cherry bites (of course)
8. What do you do to pass time on long car trips? I usually listen to music or talk incessantly about nothing at all.
9. What are your thoughts on homework? I feel all students need some practice especially in math but not too much so they can't explore other parts of their life/ develop interests.
10. Staying home or visiting others for the holidays? I am staying home but will see alot of my family. My parents are in Florida so I will miss seeing them.
11. What is your favorite dessert? My favorite dessert is cheesecake.
