Answers to Brett Stamm's Questions
1. Best professional book you've ready lately? I just re-read Teach Like A Pirate because I had lunch with the author and he gave me a signed copy. I was not feeling very motivated so I read it and BOOM...motivation was back!
2. Favorite movie? (This said favorite move...the running man?? but I think it was supposed to be movie). Facing the Giants...However the new Disney movie Frozen is a close second.
3. Tell about your favorite teacher. My favorite teacher was Weldon Edwards. He was my senior English teacher. There were 25 students in honors English and all but 5 of us dropped out of honors to have an "easier" teacher. He was the most challenging teacher I have ever had and I have so much respect for this man.
4. If you weren't an educator, what would you be doing? I would probably still be working as auto insurance claims adjuster. I would love to be a crime scene investigator. I love solving mysteries.
5. If budget was not an issue, what kind of car would you buy? I pretty darn happy with my Lexus. I might buy a new one with ALL the perks though.
6. What are you most passionate about in your job? My students!
7. How much wood, would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
I love that commercial!
8. Name three people you most want to meet? Paula Deen, Adam Levine and Kliff Kingsbury
9. Favorite song? This changes all the time but my daughter would say "Pour Some Sugar on Me" is my favorite song because I sing it a lot. "Carry on My Wayward Son" would be up there too!
10. Describe your favorite family tradition. We eat peas and dumplings at every holiday meal (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter). I thought everyone did this, but I was wrong. 11. Pick one of your hobbies. What does it say about you? Cooking and Baking...it says that I love to "feed" people. As a teacher this is metaphorically what I do everyday!
