First Blog
Post…eek!
So here goes
nothing right? Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Molly and I
currently teach 2nd grade in upstate South Carolina. I have only
been teaching for 3 years! I still feel like a newbie but I learn something new
every day! I am an active *bloggee* in the sense that I read other people’s
blogs… like a lot. I even tried to get it approved for PD! I mean blogs and
Pinterest are where most of my ideas come from so why not. I will let you know
it didn’t work. The thing I am most known for saying at work is “found it on
Pinterest” or “it’s on that blog I told you about” I actually refer to bloggers
by names now, not the name of their blog but their personal name. So instead of
“that blog I told you about” I now say “I got it from Amanda, you know I told
you about her.” To say I am obsessed would be an understatement.
So here I am now
starting my own blog. I am going to use this blog to document my adventures in
teaching 2nd grade. I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for a
while and I’ve decided this summer is the summer! I cannot wait to share with
you all {I am from the south so know it was a conscious effort to not say ya’ll
here} the learning experiences and adventures I encounter this upcoming year! I
found a “would you rather game” and thought what a perfect introduction blog
post! So here were my results to share with ya’ll {sorry it’s just easier!}
1.
Watch, Star Wars, or Star Trek?
o
Star Wars I actually just watched them all for the first time
right before the newest one came out. I know I am behind the times, but Star
Wars is pretty awesome!
2.
Read on a Kindle or paperback book?
o
I am actually really into audio books right now! I have a 1 year
old goldendoodle puppy so I will download and audio book and listen while we
walk! I didn’t think I would be into it, but I love it and it inspires me to
walk a little bit longer to get further in the book!
3.
Go to a play or musical?
o
Musical! I am currently OBSESSED with Hamilton! I have not seen
it because I don’t have 1,000 dollars to throw around, but If you see me
jamming in my car chances are it is to the Hamilton soundtrack. I am also not ashamed to say I have entered the ticket lottery which would require me to buy
a plane ticket and be in NYC in 4 hours if I were to win. I have a go bag
packed and ready!
4.
Wear jeans or chinos?
o
Okay so I actually LOLed when I read this question because I’m
25 so like def no to chinos but then I remembered that I am obsessed with the
pixie pants from Old Navy. I love love love them for school they are comfy and
easy to move in. Great for hanging out with 7 and 8 year olds on the carpet!
And guess which pixie style is my fav? Chinos! Haha So I guess I’d say Chinos
over jeans!
5.
Have a Margarita or Pina Colada?
o
Margaritas all the way. I’m not a big coconut person. My
favorite type of margarita would be a jalapeño margarita! Delicious!
6.
Crash with friends or stay in a hotel?
o
Hotel. I like having my own space and not worrying about
cleaning up after myself. I love after a day of exploring a new city coming
back to a freshly made bed!
7.
Vacation in Hawaii or Alaska, and why?
o
Hawaii duh! I am a beach babe all the way! Nothing is better
than relaxing on the beach all day with a margarita or two {or seven!}
8.
Swim in a pool or the ocean?
o
Pool. Only because I am very scared of sharks. I know it is an
irrational fear but I cannot help it. I cannot bring myself to go out very far
in the ocean without being paranoid about everything that brushes against my
legs. {I am currently watching shark week as I post this}
9.
Watch sports or play sports?
o
Watch sports. I use to swim competitively when I was younger but
not since high school. My favorite sport to watch would be football! I am a big
Clemson tiger fan! I also play fantasy football with my family! Besides
football I also enjoy watching swimming! I am so excited for the Summer Olympics!!
I will be keeping up with swimming and gymnastics for sure!
Does it bother anyone else that there is only 9 questions?! I just copied it from a site and thought it odd too, but I wasn't feeling creative enough to think of the last question so we will just have to be bothered together!
