Newbie Blog Hop

">





Visit Grade Three is the Place for Me to join in the fun!
Like many of my fello newbies...I am amazed at the number of teachers blogging and sharing ideas.  I've learned so much in the last few weeks and can't wait for school to start so that I can start using some of it. So, here is my info
1. I teach in Cape Coral Fl.
2. My position in August will be a new one.  I will be the K-2 ESE co-teacher and K-5 RTI Tier 3 support.
3. I've spent the last 24 years teaching 1-3 in all sorts of combinations - multi-age, gen ed, co-taught classroom, ESOL cluster, and Intensive Reading.  I've loved all of them and am looking forward to a new experience in August.
4. I started my blog in the middle of June 2012.
5. My blogging tip is the same as Janis....turn off word verification. In fact, I posted about this just the other day.  Go to Dashboard.  Go to Settings (on the left below layout).  Next to Word Verification, click to drop down and check no.  Save settings.  Yeah...now bloggers will enjoy visiting and leaving comments.

I think I will...but right now I don't think anyone knows for sure how it is all going to work together. At least I know it won't be boring - LOL. I hope you got here in time to enter my giveaway. :)

Amy Grout said...

I spent the 4th of July out in Alva with some friends. It is pretty...I just wish there were mountains as well.

One quick question - how did you make the text part under the Grab My Button? When I do it, I just get another button picture. LOL

Amy Grout said...

Danielle...I have absolutely no idea - LOL. My blog design was created and installed by Dreamlike Magic. I tried doing it myself, but got too aggravated. At the time, I didn't know about all of the tutorials out there. Try googling "How to create a button for blogger". Good Luck

Thanks for following everyone. I look forward to learning and "borrowing" ideas in the upcoming year.

Tammy said...

I'm not sure if I have the verification checked on or not so thanks for the reminder. I will go double check and make sure it is off because that does bother me when I have to try and figure out what the letters are to type in.
I am a new follower. Come by my site sometime and see my small little blog.
