Meet Jen
What is the name of your blog?
Jen’s kinder Kids
How long have you been blogging?
I have been blogging for my own purposes for a while, but got serious about networking with other bloggers & teachers in April of this year.
Who/What inspired you the most to start blogging?
I just started reading teacher blogs & realized that I wanted to be a part of the awesome community that was out there. I have found so many inspiring & supportive people here…including Ms. Patterson! ☺ And, for that, I am sincerely appreciative. I don’t know how I would’ve gotten followers without the kindness of strangers! I am ALWAYS happy to return the favor!!
What is the funniest thing a kid has told you?
I had a little girl that was being extremely challenging behavior-wise the other day & I asked her if she gave her mom a hard time when she was at home. She looked at me & said, in her sweet kindergarten voice, “Mrs. Elliott, you know I am a pain in the butt at home, too”…I had to walk away! What do you say to that?!?
What state do you live in and how many years have you been a teacher? What grade?
I live in North Carolina. I have been teaching for 6 years in Kindergarten. <3
What are you totally obsessed with?
My teacher obsessions are Pinterest, organization notebooks, cool pens & markers, and polkadots!
If you can have one thing, regardless of price or reasonability what would it be?
I would love to have a beach house! I could go there whenever I wanted to rest & relax in the ocean breeze…ahhhh!
8. complete these sentences
I could not live without My black, sparkly TOMS.
That sounds a bit materialistic, doesn’t it?! Sorry, sometimes shoes are all it takes to make a girl happy! ☺
I wish parents would take their parenting responsibilities seriously!
I work in a low income, high poverty school, and the students are more of a burden than a blessing to some of my parents…so sad! ☹
When I use my teacher glare & growl a little (Ha!) my kiddos now I mean business!
I am secretly a Nosy Nellie! I like to stay in the loop!
10. 3 things that best describe you
1. Organized!! I cannot stand clutter!!
2. Obsessive when I find things that interest me I tend to go overboard! I’m getting ready to get obsessed with all things Daily 5 related because I am thinking of implementing it into my classroom next year.
3. Big Hearted~ I LOVE my students & I make sure that they have ALL their needs met while they are with me. Sometimes that means me buying them food, clothes, school supplies, etc, but I ALWAYS make sure that they feel loved when they are with me!!
11. What are your top 3 fav blogs ( Please include links)
There are so many that I love…it’s hard to pick just 3!
Mrs. Will’s Kindergarten
First Grade Blue Skies
Pocket Full of Kinders ☺
12. What was your ah ha moment when you knew you wanted to be a teacher?
I think that I always knew from when I was a little girl playing school with my dolls & younger siblings…I’ve always been a little bossy & like to be in charge! Ha!
14. Best teacher tip:
Stay in constant contact with your student’s parents! Don’t just give them the bad news! Call EVERYTIME the student hits a milestone, shows kindness, writes a great story, crosses the monkey bars for the first time, whatever…contact them for anything!! The more positive & encouraging you are, the more involved they will be!
15. One thing that your followers would be surprised to know:
I do NOT like to speak in front of adults! Give me a room full of 5 years olds anyday! ☺
(Me too! I am the same way)
16. Make us laugh!
What is the best joke that you know?
What do you call a bear with no teeth?
A Gummy Bear!
I know, corny!
17. In a past life what would you have been?
I think I would have been a dolphin. I love to swim!
