1) What is your favorite subject to teach? Why?
I love teaching reading because I like sharing books and stories with students. It is a great feeling when my own students show me how much they have enjoyed a book and have acquired a love of reading. I always say that when you read you can do anything!
2) What is the hardest subject to teach? Why?
The hardest subject for me to teach is science because even though I love doing hands-on experiments with the students it seems that we never have enough time to set up and complete all of the fun experiments that are available to us.
3) What is your favorite book to your students?
I always read The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein on the first and last day of school.
4) What is your favorite second grade memory?
When I was in second grade I wrote a book for Young Authors contest called Little Miss Huggable and it won a ribbon. I was so happy that I wrote a dozen more books with the same character.
5) What do you think second graders like most about second grade?
I think second graders like being able to make more choices about their learning. They are growing up and becoming more mature and responsible. It is a great grade to teach because the students are becoming more independent and realize that they are important individuals that can work together to make great things happen in their class, their school and the world!
