All About This Kindergarten Teacher: Kinder Tribe Linky!





It is day TWO of the amazing kickoff of our Kinder Tribe Blog!!! If you haven't already entered to win some AMAZING giveaways, be sure to head back to Our Kinder Tribe Launch Giveaway and enter after you link up!!!

http://kindertribe.blogspot.ca/

We decided to do a fun linky that would involve all kindergarten teachers! Our tribe is one that builds on being connected, motivated, and inspired by each other. We get to share our stories and advice and in return receive support and positive vibes!  We have a bond that CAN'T be broken! After all, we are the ones who get to tie shoes, get called 'Mom', and wipe noses. However, we also get to teach children how to READ, WRITE, AND SPELL. If that isn't phenomenal and rewarding, I don't know what is!

Our link up is a fun 'Kindergarten Favorites' that will help everyone to learn more about each other and bond over the amazingness that is being a kindergarten teacher!



I don't know a teacher that could live without caffeine!! If I haven't had my soda for the day, steer clear ;) The pen aisle in any store is heaven to me! I could spend hours looking at the type of ball point, colors, etc!!! And don't get me started on Mr. Sketch markers!! I have a major girl crush on Deanna and DeeDee. When I met them last Spring I panicked asking for a picture!! There is nothing more rewarding than seeing kinder babes grow SO much in the months we have them! Plus their hugs are worth more than our paycheck!




If you haven't linked up yet, head over to Kinder Tribe Blog grab the image and link up!!!! Can't wait to hear about your favorites!!!

  1. Flair pens are the best! Hahaha...those two are so easy to have a girl crush on. I'm planning on going to Vegas for the first time next year and I am sure I will be all wide eyed when I see my favorite bloggers and TPTers. Enjoyed reading your post and so excited for this tribe!

  2. Everyone loves flair pens! haha I have never heard of Polar Pops! What is it? A kind of soda? I loose Mr. Sketch too! But the Mr. Sketch markers are only for me! One time I put one of my Mr. Sketch markers that were drying out into the art bin for the kids to use and some of my kiddos were so concerned! They came running to me like "Miss Naka!! Your Sketch markers are in the art bin and people are using them!!" LOL!!

  5. For all the advertising we've been giving flair pens and Mr.Sketch, we deserve an endorsement! But for real, they are the best!
