"Liebster" is a German word that means dearest, lovely, beloved and welcome.  To accept the nomination, I must:
1. Link back to the blog that nominated me.

2.  Nominate 5-11 blogs with fewer than 200 followers.

So, here are the 11 questions Learning Ahoy asked....

1.     What do you teach?
     I teach middle school special education.

2.    Where did you go to college?
     I went to Longwood University. 

3.     What is your favorite book?
     My 5th grade teacher read aloud Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. I fell in love. Now I am going to read it to my class this year!

4.     What is you favorite place to get clipart from? 
     My favorite place to get clip art is my cute graphics.

5.     What do you like to do outside of school stuff?
     Outside of school I like to read, go on dates with my husband, and hang out with my doggies. 

6.     Where would your dream vacation spot be? 
     My dream vacation would be a trip to Italy.

7.     If you won a million dollars what would you do with it? 
     If I had a million dollars I would give a lot of it to my church, friends, and family. I would probably take a couple of years off from teaching to raise children, but I think I would be bored at home and go back to teaching. 

8.     If you were not a teacher what would you do? 
     I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in the 1st grade. Now, that I have been teaching for 2 years I want to make a difference that is bigger than the size of my classroom. When I am ready and decide to change jobs, I hope to be in a position where I am teaching teachers or advocating for students rights. 

9.     What is your favorite blog to read (besides your own of course!)?
      My favorite blog is Learning Ahoy. 

10.What is your favorite food?
     My favorite food is subs. 

11.What is your least favorite drink?
     My least favorite drink is a glass of milk. When I was young, I would get so excited when I had a fever because that meant I didn't have to have milk with dinner!
