Liebster Award

The Liebster Award is a way for newer bloggers (with less than 200 followers) who have great content, to link up, meet other bloggers and share a little about themselves! I was nominated by Laura from Luv My Kinders and Jayme from Teach.Talk.Inspire. Thank you Laura and Jayme! I am so flattered to be chosen by the two of you 🙂


Here are the answers to the 10 questions I recieved:


1. Why and how long ago did you start blogging?


I started in August 2014! I had been blog stalking my favourite bloggers for years so I decided to try it out! I thought, even if nobody read my blog I could use it as a way to document my teaching and have an online portfolio!

2. What one word sums up the heart of your blog and why?


Sharing. It really makes me happy and I feel honoured when someone tells me they are able to use my products or ideas that I share on this blog in their classroom.


3. Is there something you learned late in your blog journey you wished you knew before?


Nothing yet!


4. What is your favourite past time other than blogging?


Well that’s a hard one… because I’m basically glued to my computer or phone all the time! I do like to shop and dine out 🙂


5. How many hours a week do you dedicate to your blog?


It really depends on the week but usually an hour or two every other day and usually a little more on the weekends so maybe 6-8 hours on average?


6. What category of blog posts do you enjoy the most?


I really love practical ideas I can implement in my classroom! I love seeing hands-on lessons and ideas for centres! And since I teach FDK in Ontario, I love seeing and reading about what other Ontario FDK teachers are doing that align with the vision and curriculum in our province!


7. Where does your blog inspiration come from?


From my class! I always blog about things we are doing in class so all my ideas and products come from their needs and interests.


7. Which post that you’ve written are you most proud of?


I really loved teaching 3D figures this year so I have to say my post “Teaching 3D Figures in FDK”.

8. Is there any post that you have been planning to do, but have been postponing it for a while now?


My blog to-do list is always a mile long but I do want to share about my home reading program sometime soon!


9. What is your favourite aspect of blogging?


Being able to connect with other educators and learning new ideas.

10.  Which idea from a blog would you like to try yourself?   


Since Mother’s day is coming up I am planning to try one of these two ideas!
Which do you like better? 
(Or maybe I should just do both?)
