A big thank you to her for checking out and enjoying my blog!!! Even though my blog has been around since 2010, I haven't really tried to get it out there into the teacher blogging world until very recently so this means a lot, and thank you again to Brianne.

9. If you could travel to one period of time, what would it be and why?
I'd be a teenager in the 1950's because I have been obsessed with Grease since 7th grade. I love the music, clothes, etc of that era and would love to live it!
