Sunshine!

I was awarded an award! Can't believe it! But it is true. Thanks to Teaching First I am overwhelmed!

My blogging is mostly reading and learning from so many great teachers. I can truly say that the "friends" I have met through blogs have changed the way I teach. And my kids reap the benefits. Now in order to keep the sunshine traveling I am going to tell a little bit about ME!

Favorite Color?  Hard to pick. I love black/red/white in combinations. Also blue/green/aqua combinations.

*Favorite Animal? Dogs--I am the proud owner of a schnauzer that is my "baby" now that my kids are grown.

*Favorite Number? 55--this was my son's number in high school football. He's gone on to become a high school...football coach!

*Favorite Drink? Dunkin Donuts coffee and McDonald's Chocolate shakes--Yum-my

*Facebook or Twitter?  Definitely Facebook.

*Your Passion? Oh, this is too difficult. I guess it would have to be trying to make the world a better place.

*Giving or Getting Presents?

Giving!

*Favorite Day? Sunday.

*Favorite Flower? Roses--I have a few in my yard and my husband brings me flowers frequently!

And the blogs that give me sunshine--I could name many!

They inspire me spiritually as well as professionally.
