Greg here! We're excited to join the Teacher Blogger linky hosted by Falling Into First! Welcome to everyone who stumbled upon our blog. We hope you enjoy!

For those of you who haven't ready our blog yet, we're bringing an interesting perspective/reflection to our classroom experiences. I teach 10th & 11th grade social studies and Becky is with 1st graders. (Read our about section to find out more about our personal lives.) She and I will be sprinkling in the more unique aspects of our teaching lives, and we also collaborating on a few projects that will be coming up in the future! 

Okay, here are the answers to Stephanie's Q&A. In the words of our 4 year old, "Let's Roll!"
Picture

A few of my favorite things...

Becky,
Shopping, sleeping, spending time with family, painting pottery, boots with skinny pants, dresses with leggings (I hate being cold!)
Greg
time with my family, the beach/ocean, scuba diving, being outside, Land Rovers, quiet time, my prep period

If you weren't a teacher, what would you want to be?

Becky
I would love to be the owner of a Paint Your Own Pottery Store. I would call it "The Painted Jay!" I find pottery painting to be very relaxing, and love the atmosphere in pottery shops.
Greg
I have this yearning desire to own a bed and breakfast. I enjoy talking, baking & cooking, and making beds. It's an ideal fit.

three little words that describe you.

Becky
Driven
Focused
Creative
Greg
Creative. 
Can see the big picture. Sarcastic.

Finish this sentence, “___________________, said no teacher EVER!!”

Becky & Greg
"More meetings, please, 

said no teacher ever!!"

It’s your birthday and you can invite anyone {dead or alive} to the party. Who are you inviting?

Becky & Greg
Dave Matthews (and the band - of course!). When you listen to a band/musician for so long, you feel like they're a part of your family. He is family.

If someone wrote a book about your life, what 
would be the title?

Don’t eat the glue or 
pee on your brother! 
You say the weirdest and funniest things as a 
teacher and parent of two boys.

You get to pick one superpower. What is it?

Becky
My super power would be making every hour of sleep equal two hours.  Just think of all that we could get done, and still feel well rested!
Greg
Teleportation is seriously an amazing concept. If I could instantly travel to any destination - the possibilities would be endless!

What’s your favorite 
quote or saying?

Becky & Greg
"What I want is what I've not got
And what I need
Is all around me"


                           -David J. Matthews

If you HAD to sing one song on American Idol, 
what would it be?

Becky
I would sing "Love Story" (Taylor Swift). I do love her, and still love to belt out this song when I'm in the car! 
Greg
Any Clay Aiken song 
would do! (Hint, see words describing me above.)

Are you a morning person 
or a night owl?

Becky
A night owl-Monday morning is going to be a rude awakening. I do not do well at 5AM!
Greg
No doubt - a morning person. If it weren't for me, Becky would sleep in until 11AM daily.

What’s your favorite resource that you’ve created in your TPT shop?

Becky
My favorite resource that I've created would have to be my "First Grade Making Words, All Year Long!" bundle. We focus on phonics A LOT in first grade, and I love how the students can easily manipulate the letter cards to make words. But my favorite part is that the words list possibilities are right there for you! No more trying to figure out if you have all the letters to make a word. My substitutes have found this to be super helpful!
Picture
I also love my Bossy R SupER Kids Craftivity. My firsties always love making them when we learn about those bossy r's.  They also look great flying around the room!

Share something we might not know about you!

Becky
I  love to sew. I taught myself by watching YouTube videos, and started sewing cloth wipes when Grayson was born. I have now graduated to carseat tents and blankets! I really enjoy it...when I have the time!
Picture
Greg
I am an avid fan of indie rock music. Don't get me started! Check out Blondfire!
We had fun participating! Looking forward to learning about our fellow teacher bloggers!

I think your superpower idea for multiply sleep hours is fantastic and I would like that along with being able to magically clean my house. My hubby and I share a store on TpT also. He is middle school English and I taught 1st & 2nd. I like your tagline, "Where Primary and Secondary Meet." So fun. :-)
