Welcome to my Differentiation Blog

1. What is your favorite book for kids… something you would like to use in your future classroom? Why do you like it?

I love the book "Chrysanthemum." It 's about a girl that has this name and it discusses how her name is different. This book wold be good for one of the first days of school. My name was always different, so for the students that have a different name, it will make them feel special and welcome to the beginning of the school year.

2. Name your three favorite T.V. shows, even if you don’t have time to watch them! What can you (or what are you willing to) tell me about your T.V. viewing habits? I’ll tell you mine if you’ll tell me yours!

Grey's Anatomy is one of my favorites! I have been watching it since the very beginning and have not missed an episode. I love the drama of the show, the amazing characters and the writing is amazing. I quote it a lot and write down lines they say during that show often.

General Hospital is my most guilty pleasure. I have been watching it since I can remember. My Grandma Ruth would watch it and I would go visit her every Sunday and we would catch up on all that happened that week on the soap. She has passed away, but I can't even imagine my life without it. It is always new and a great break from real life. I love and hate the characters and love to watch it at night before I go to bed.

Live with Regis and Kelly is my favorite talk show. It's fun to watch them talk in the beginning of the show. They are fun and when I have time before school, I like to listen to them and laugh with them.

3. Do you collect anything? Tell about your collections:

I love books and bags. I have a hard time leaving the book store without a purchase. I love all kinds, children's books, classics and bestsellers. I hope to be able to read them one day, but a book purchase makes me so happy.

I also love a new bag. I dont buy many shoes, but I will buy a new bag. Sometimes in the store the bag will just call out to me. Then I go throw it over my shoulder and if it fits, it's going home with me. I love brightly colored, loud ones the best!

4. Do you keep any kind of a journal (or blog?) besides this one? Tell me about it, and what you like to write about:

I still write in my "writer's notebook." I just love it, it is where I write everything that happens to me, fun or serious quotes and artifacts. I have had a crazy year and tease about writing a book about it. People see my notebook, or the "book" and know there is good stuff in it. I keep it close to me at all times, putting in it many fun and personal things.
