Teacher Week on Blog Hoppin'!

Here's an easy way for me to get some blog posts out there! I'm joining up with Blog Hoppin' for Teacher Week! Today is:

 Here's a little about me!

I am Mrs. Lopez. Notice the Mrs. part? It can be pretty confusing to my students' parents. My husband is a non-Spanish speaking American from Mexican descent. I am a blonde haired (when I have time to go to the salon!), blue-green eyed, Johnson girl! I teach in a 50/50 Spanish/English Dual Immersion class, so parents usually assume that I am the Spanish half of our grade level, thus my blog name: Sra. Lopez Teaches English! I wish I was fluent in Spanish! I'd love to speak, read, and write confidently in Spanish! Just out of High School, I could! But, unfortunately, that was many moons ago...

Speaking of my husband, here is a pic of my little family.

He's devastatingly handsome, isn't he! Sr. Lopez and I have been married for 7 years! That's right! We were one of the millions of 7-7-07 weddings! 

And that's our pride and joy right there in the middle. She's a 4-year-old bundle of energy, creativity, love, laughter, and the brightest thing in our lives! Next year is the big Kinder for her, which I'm already dreading (and planning for!)

OK, so there's a little blurb about me. Here's what's coming up on Blog Hoppin' this week.

I may or may not join in :-)

Giving It a Try

Hi all!

I know I'm crazy. I don't have time for a blog, but I'm going to give it a try anyway. My personal family blog hasn't been updated since last Christmas. I already have bit off more than I can chew, but that's generally how I like to roll! If life isn't a challenge, then it can get boring!

So, here's a blurb about me: I am a second grade teacher in a suburb of my mecca, San Diego! I love where I live and teach! At our schools down here, we have lots of Dual Immersion options. I teach in a 50/50 Spanish/English Dual Immersion program. I am the "English Component" of our second grade team, even though I am a Lopez! It gets our parents every year. They expect Mrs. Lopez to be the Spanish teacher, and come meet a blonde (usually) haired, blue-green eyed, white girl who used to speak Spanish when she was in high school. I do, however, love the language and have a passion for multilingualism, which is a big plus when teaching in an intense program like this. 

I also have an extraordinary family! My husband, Mr. Lopez (who also does not speak Spanish), and I have the most beautiful, amazing, intelligent, talented, funny, dramatic, etc, etc, etc little girl on the planet! We moved from the beach to the suburbs when she was born, but WILL move back someday.

I love to craft (when I have time), travel (when I have money!), and spend time enjoying the local beauty of San Diego! My favorite thing to teach is math. I love technology, and am always on the tech committee at my school. I have a teeny tiny Teachers Pay Teachers store where I have a few items for purchase and quite a few freebies! Check it out when you get a chance!

Ok, that's enough for now. I'll hopefully be back soon...
