Answers about me!!!

1. Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. No matter what grade I teacher I can use this book as a teach read aloud. All of the students can know what it is like to be "different" and that it is ok to be "different."

2. Lost, American Idol, America's got talent! Well I have really enjoyed not having TV for the last 8 months. After getting married we really did not want to spend money on cable and really did not have time to watch tv (even during the summer). So if I ever get a minute to watch something I will just go online to watch it. You can find every show online now these days- its great!!!

3. My latest thing I have been collecting is children's book. I loved having lots of children's books to read when I was younger at home, and so I wanted a collection of my own at home and also use them in my classroom. When I have my nieces and nephews over them absolutely love to read them. I even enjoy reading them myself lately.

4. I keep a blog, devenandkellie.blogspot.com On my blog I like to write about things that I do in my life. This is a great way I can keep people updated about our lives and what new things are going on for us. Especially since my parents live in Washington they love to be able to see pictures and read about is happing in my life. As well as my friends I have all over the country.

5. 1. Peer relationships

2. Art or music appreciation

3. sports

6. I have never taken an outside of school art class. However, I decorate cakes at Baskin Robbins and I love to make crafts!! Having a new home I am constantly wanting to decorate it and make new crafts for it. I love doing lots of art projects and designing a new cake.

7. All through out growing up, elementary through high school, I took piano lessons and voice lessons. I really enjoyed doing them and performing at recitals. But being in college I am losing those talents of mine. I keep looking to find a cheap piano so I can practice, but I'm struggling to find anything.

8. Growing up I did ballet. In high school I did pointe. I also was a cheerleader and did a lot of dancing with that outside of school. I absolutely love dancing and wish that I still was doing it.

9. When I was in junior high I loved to participate in the community theater. I was in Fiddler on the Roof and Oklahoma. In the plays I was a singer and dancer. I'm not very good at acting so I would prefer to sing and dance in plays.

10. I was born and raised in Washington. My family has a big farm, orchard and french fry plant there. I loved growing up in a small farm town because everyone knows everyone. Even after living here for over 3 years I am still trying to get used to not knowing anyone in the grocery stories or driving down the street :(. And lastly I met my husband when I was subbing at the school his mom was the secretary at. She came to the classroom I was in and asked if I would meet her son....and now we are happily married :) !!!! And my brothers always told me I would never meet my husband if I was a substitute....they were very wrong.
