4. What is your favorite picture book to read to your class? Tough call! One of my faves is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr.

5. Why did you start blogging? I'm a fairly new blogger- I started my blog in mid-August. I had discovered several great teaching blogs over the summer, and felt that I could contribute ideas gleaned from my 15+ years of teaching.
