Happy Monday! I am so excited to link up with my friend Stephanie from Falling into First to join her Meet the Teacher Blogger linky party! Such fun idea to get to know other teacher bloggers out there!
My name is Arisbeth (you can call me Aris for short) and I’ll be starting my 7th year teaching 3rd grade this year! I live in sunny SoCal and love hanging out at our local beach with friends and family! Living a mile from the beach definitely is a perk. Here’s a sneak peek into my beach themed classroom!
I’m married to a wonderful man who puts up with my daily teaching stories and spoils me with adventures all around the world. Our love story actually began when we first met. We set eyes on each other from across the room, secretly snuck in conversations when we weren’t supposed to, and even shared our valentine hearts. Did I mention we were in the 2nd grade? Here we are in Barga, Italy for our little destination wedding. Aren’t those doors amazing?!? Medieval towns are so cool!
Q: These are a few of my favorite things…
Shopping at either JCrew or Anthropologie, beach time, and crafting!!
Q: If you weren’t a teacher, what would you want to be?
Classroom decorator!
Q: Three little words that describe you.
Organized, creative, Monica Geller.
Q: Finish this sentence, “___________________, said no teacher EVER!!”
“I never stay late at school, said no teacher EVER!!”
Q: It’s your birthday and you can invite anyone {dead or alive} to the party. Who are you inviting?
My hubby! :)
Q: If someone wrote a book about your life, what would be the title?
The Traveling Teacher
Q: You get to pick one superpower. What is it?
Flying!! Wouldn’t that be cool to just pick up your arms and away you go!
Q: What’s your favorite quote or saying?
“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” Emily Bronte
Q: If you HAD to sing one song on American Idol, what would it be?
Anything Britney. Don’t judge!
Q: Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Afternoon kind of gal! I think I’m most productive after a few cups of coffee/tea and I always am the first to fall asleep!
Q: What’s your favorite resource that you’ve created in your TPT shop?
I think I’m most proud of my Reach for the Stars Space Unit! This bad boy is over 168 pages of intense space stuff!!
Q: Share something we might not know about you.
I can speak 3 languages! Can you guess which ones?
Make sure to link up with Stephanie for her super fun linky!!!
I love your classroom! It is simply adorable.
Hmm.. I have no idea which languages you speak! Could Italian be one? Maybe Spanish?

Love your classroom! So pretty and colorful. Speaking 3 languages is pretty cool too. ;)
Girlie! We are on the same page with SO many things. I adore Anthropologie, crafting, and classroom decorating too! If I had to guess I’d say you speak English, Japanese, and Spanish?? Maybe?
YOUR ROOM!!!! I am dying!!!! I need you to come do mine :)

So glad to find another second grade teacher and one that speaks many languages! Different languages are something close to my heart… I speak English, Spanish, and German!
I am going to take a guess with English, Spanish, and Italian for you!
It was great getting to know you — hope you have a great school year!

Thanks, Bobbi!
Aris, thank you for being such a wonderful hostess yesterday at the So. Cal. gathering. You made John and I feel comfortable and welcomed once we came… we were very shy and didn’t quite know how to walk into a group of teachers that he have never met and introduce ourselves. I just love your love story and wedding pictures.. what a beautiful story…. so sweet. I hope we will be included in another event like this,,, it was fantastic making new “real” friends as well all work so hard in our classrooms and behind our computers each day. It’s nice to meet nice new teacher friends. Take care and have a great new school year:) Carol http://theteacherteam.com/
Thank YOU for coming and hanging out with us! So fun to meet you both! :)
