Newbie Blog Hop

I am linking up with Grade Three is the Place for Me for my first Blog Hop!  To join the fun answer these questions and link up!
If you're just hopping through, check out all the new blogs (see below).  Lots to see and read!

    1.  what state you are in
I am in Richmond, Virginia.
    2.  your current teaching position
I teach first grade in a Title I school.
    3.  your teaching experience
 I have been teaching for 16 years - 14 in first grade.
    4.  when you started blogging
I started my blog exactly one month ago today!
    5.  share a blogging tip / blogging resource
Since I am new at this, I may not have much to offer, but here ya go:
  • Remove the word verification from your comment section.  It's so hard to read and there really isn't that much spam anyway.
  • Make sure you have a blog button for sharing.  If you don't have one - make one!  And if you don't know how - google it!  There are tons of tutorials.  I used one from The 3AM Teacher.
  • And speaking of tutorials, if you don't how to do something you want for your blog, there is probably a tutorial out there somewhere.  Find it, try it, and ask another blogger if you need help.  The good thing about teacher bloggers is teachers are ever so helpful!
I'm off to hop around, read some new blogs and find some new ideas!
