Newbie Bloggers Blog Hop...

Hiya friends! During my daily blog stalking I can across a linky party that is perfect for me and probably many of you! It's for new bloggers!! A way to meet other teachers in your same boat. So, here's to making new friends...


    1.  what state you are in

    2.  your current teaching position
    3.  your teaching experience
    4.  when you started blogging
    5.  share a blogging tip / blogging resource

1. Sunny California
2. First grade (and parts of second grade... long story)
3. 7th year (9th if you count student teaching and a year of substitute    teaching)
4. I tried briefly last year but wasn't committed. This time around, I've been going strong since June of 2012. Go me!!
5. Set a timer!!!! I can't count the number of times I've spent all day/night on here hopping from blog to blog. I would always say, "Just one more..." Now I decide how much time I can afford to spend stalking and I set a timer. When it goes off, I stop. It takes some discipline, but I now have time for the other necessities. Best of both worlds!!

Hope you'll link up so we can get to know more about you! And thanks to Janis at Grade Three if For Me for creating this linky!

Now I'm off to continue working on my calendar and other classroom labels! 

Best wishes,

    How do I link? Remember, I'm a newbie! Oh, & I'm doing it from an iPad, if that makes a difference.

    A timer would be a great idea!! I bet I would say "just one more minute" though! :) Just found you through the blog hop (which I'm going to have to link up with now since I just started blogging in June) and am your newest follower!

    I totally need to start setting a timer. A few times I have looked at the clock and told myself that I will get off at such and such time! It's unbelievable how sucked in I can get, and apparently others too :) I am your newest follower!

    When I saw that "sunny California" statement pop up on your post, I had to follow. There aren't a ton of us West Coast ladies, so we've gotta stick together. Glad I found you today.

    First Grade teacher here too! Think the idea about the timer is great! I am a night owl and get lost hopping from one link to another and before I know it half the night is away! I am your newest follower and want to meet everyone, but especially newbie firsties, so we can learn together on our blogging adventure! Please stop by and say hi!

    The timer sounds like a good idea. Sometimes I use my clock, but then I always make excuses. Maybe I'd make less excuses if I used a timer! If you get a chance, I'd love for you to head over to my blog and check it out!

    Timer? If only I would STOP to listen for the buzzer! What do you suggest for those teachers like me who are OCD and have the special super-power to "mind-mute" the timer? LOL! Great meeting up with you through the linky party!
