My favorite author is Danielle Steele! I have read all of her books two and three times. Just easy reading that I don't have to think about.

My favorite book series for reading in my former classrooms is Sarah Plain and Tall.

I'm a person that likes to finish tasks and as a teacher anywhere I think you always feel like you can do more and your job is never completed or finished.

The district is like a roller coaster with supporting music. Sometimes we have music teachers in place; other times, at the elementary level, they think they can skip music for a year. My band program and our choir program are behind because of this, but we try to keep teaching and get them caught up.

I think I could eat a (good) hamburger (not fast food) for the rest of my life. I'm sure I would get tired of it, but a good, juicy, real-meat burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard and pickles I would be getting more than one food group. Plus, they are just really good.

I don't really read a lot. I have read books but not really for entertainment. I have read biographies of some celebrities and things like the Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey which I found helpful. But overall I gotta go with the Bible, even though I slack on reading it as much as I should. His Word is alive and gives me hope and peace, tells me the way to salvation. So of course it is the best!

I hate anything that has to do with laundry - folding it, putting it away,etc. But especially if it hasn't been folded yet - trying to find a complete outfit for my boys by digging through a pile - I need 2 matching socks, a shirt, pants, so aggravating.

I am a preschool teacher and this year they have really emphasized teaching social-emotional skills with little time for teaching anything academic, but yet they want the kids to be kindergarten ready, which means knowing letters, numbers, counting, writing name, cutting with scissors, etc. They give us so many requirements for different programs and then expect us to cover everything, but give us little to no money for materials. It is a struggle because its hard to know what exactly we are supposed to really be teaching and how to go about it. It just doesn't seem to be very organized. We have a hard job and it seems like a lot of pressure.

Hi everyone! I'm Zoe Cross, and this is my 4th year as a teacher. I have taught 3rd-grade ELA the whole time, and I get to do it in the classroom next door to the classroom I attended 3rd grade in!

We are welcoming our first baby boy sometime in the next month, so that will be our newest adventure!

I'm trying to read more, but I struggle to find the time; however, my favorite book is a graphic novel named The Umbrella Academy. This book was created by my favorite singer, Gerard Way, and I just think the artwork and creativity are incredible.

I would want a photographic memory so I can remember anything and everything I want. I want this because learning any skill or knowledge would be as easy as possible. The second superpower would be flying.

Nothing frustrates me more than people talking over me. In my classroom, my number one rule is do not talk over me. It's just complete disrespect.

I struggle with being in control. I think what bothers me is not distinguishing how I want my day to go, and in some cases, my classroom/year to go. Maybe I just need to be the boss lol. I can't stand useless P.D.s where I learn information that I will never use ever again. Being forced to do things that don't benefit my job or my life is the struggle.

Hey, I am Kendra Cook and I am in my 17th year of teaching. I have taught 16 of those years third grade at Keavy Elementary in Laurel County. I have been self-contained so I have got to teach it all. I have four kiddos at all ages, from college to preschool. Of course, the college girlie is missing from the above photo. We also have a Maine Coon Cat who thinks he is a human and one of the kids. We love camping! We spend most of our summer at a campground and the lake.
