Meet The Teacher!! Linky Party!




Hi there! My name is Anna.  I'm a 28 year old living in New Jersey.  This is currently my second year as a Kindergarten teacher.  Previously, I was a first grade teacher for two years.

I absolutely love teaching Kindergarten, there is nothing like it!

I have the most amazing boyfriend, who has been there for me through it all.  He is my own personal cheerleader and he keeps me going.  I couldn't of asked for a more supportive, kind, and loyal man to spend my life with.

I am a huge animal lover.  I'm that person who can't bear to watch that commercial on television with the Sarah McLachlan song playing in the background.  (Animal lovers, you know exactly which commercial I am referring to!)  I have to either quickly change the channel or mute it, or else I find myself in tears!

 I have two boxers at the moment, Diesel and Gia.  They are my babies!

This is Gia a few short months ago!  She is the newest addition to our already big family.  She will be a year old on the 22nd of August.  Wow, time sure does fly by!
Here is Diesel! :) He is now 7 years old, but he's still my baby!  Words cannot express how much I love that cutie right there! 

I've been working all summer helping my brothers renovate some apartments.  It's been a fun and educating experience, however I now need some time to really relax!  My boyfriend and I are planning a short last minute vacation for the following week before school starts up again.  I cannot wait! :)




THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

Flip Flops - The Beach - Traveling -Writing Stories - Creating my own colorful products - Netflix - Cheese! - Coffee! - Blogging - Blue Pens - Music - Animals - Bradley Cooper - Organizing. 


IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

When I was little I always wanted a job that helped people or animals. I wanted to a pediatric doctor, so I could take care of babies and children.  I wanted to be a Vet, so that I could take care of dogs, cats, horses, and all other animals.  At one point, I even wanted to be a zoologist, so that I could raise baby Tigers (Tigers are my favorite animals).


THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.

Sincere.  Welcoming.  Understanding.


FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________, SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"

"Why don't we have more teacher in-services...said no teacher EVER!!"
 

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?

Robin Williams, because he was my favorite comedian growing up and I truly believe he could put a smile on anyone's face, especially with his Mrs. Doubtfire routine!  Lucille Ball, whom I loved as a child and watched every I Love Lucy episode on Nick at Nite summer block party.


Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?

Don't Let Them Bring You Down


Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?

I would love to be able to teleport myself to any location I wanted.  I would instantly travel the world and see alllllll of the places on my bucket list!


Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

I love quotes!  Here are a few of my favorites!


Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 

"Livin' on a Prayer!" - Bon Jovi


Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?

I am without a doubt a night owl!  I am most productive at night, and find that I am my most creative as well!  If I could stay up all night to finish a project, I would!! In the morning I'm like a zombie, seriously!  It's such a struggle and I am impossible to wake up.  I cannot function without my morning cup of coffee.  


Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RESOURCE THAT YOU'VE CREATED IN YOUR TPT SHOP?

I am still fairly new to the whole teacher selling and blogging world, however my favorite items thus far are my Sight Word Printables and Classroom Job Cards!


There are 92 High Frequency Word Worksheets included in this product!
I love both of these products and use them both in my own classroom!


Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU! 

I was born into an Italian Family.  My parents both moved here in their twenties and the majority of my family (including grandparents) are still overseas.  I also spoke Italian before I could speak English, and I still speak Italian fluently.  :)

  3. Hi Anna,
    Love the picture of your puppies. I have a wheaten terrier and try and pretend I don't love him as much as I do. He is such a big teddy bear but unfortunately he can be a bit like Marley from the movie. lol

  5. Your two doggies are adorable! I really want me one someday...I should add teleportation to my super power wish list too! I always forget that teleportation is good for traveling. I hate long flights.
