Sixth Grade Scribbles nominated me for the Liebster Blog Award.

7. How did you get into education? I took a semester off from college and substitute taught. I liked it and when I went back to school, I changed my major to education.

8.Why do you blog? What inspired you to start? I have a blog about my family. I started that to help me because I was behind in my scrapbooking efforts. I started my education blog because I needed to jump start the excitement for teaching middle school. It has truly helped me make middle school math more enjoyable to teach and to learn.
