First Day of School

Summer has officially ended for me. School is back in session! Here in Georgia, school is starting back up, with the first day of school being today. The students can rushing in ready to start a new year. Teachers came in their nicest clothes to greet students with smiling faces. Everyone was ready to get back to learning. My first day was pretty awesome. I got right into setting up procedures and rules for my classroom. I teach Spanish at an elementary school and I see every student at my school. It was great to see the familiar faces of my students from last year, and also to meet some new friends. So, today I want to make a list of things to take care of before the first day of school. For teachers, there is so much to get set up and ready. Here are my top essential things I get ready before the first day of school. 1. Lesson Plan - Definitely be always prepared with a lesson plan. Make sure the lesson plan is engaging and relevant for students. In addition, it's better ...

Review Shopmissa

Shopmissa is a store that sells makeup, makeup tools, and a variety of accessories for very cheap. The majority of the items on shopmissa are 1 dollar, while some items are a 1.55 because they donate part of that to worthy causes. Additionally, they have some eyeshadow palettes that are 5-10 dollars, basically a dollar for each individual eyeshadow and a dollar for the palette carton itself. My Experience: I first ordered from Shopmissa around a year ago. I ordered some liquid lipsticks, two concealers, some makeup sponges, some foundations, and a few individual eyeshadows. The majority of these products are great considering the price and I got use of these products over the year. Recently, I decided to order from Shopmissa again. The fun of ordering from this site is you can get a lot from very cheap, and when you get the package it's like opening a Christmas package and seeing everything you got. (Sidenote: The packages are very well packaged with bubble wrap, paper, etc. ...

Go Fund Me

Hello! Today I just wanted tot do a bit of self promotion as the school year is coming close. As a teacher it's important that students have all the supplies and educational resources they need to be successful. I teach Spanish in an elementary school. This is not just a "fluff" class. I teach my students the basics of the Spanish language, and it's very beneficial for students to be introduced to another language and other cultures. To explain more, I don't have a regular classroom and what I mean by not having a regular classroom is that I teach all the students in the school, so I don't just have 20-30 students that stay with me year round. I teach every "regular" class Spanish as a special/connection class on a rotation system.  So as you can imagine, catering to a large elementary school means supplies run out fast. From paper, to pencils, to tissues...etc. the supplies go quickly throughout the year. In addition, being a specials class, we ...

My Favorite Horror Franchise

 Hey, Hey! So today we are heading back to horror themes for my post today. I'm going to be talking about and ranking my favorite horror franchise ever. I absolutely love.... the Nightmare on Elm street/Freddy horror franchise! Overall, I enjoy watching Nightmare on Elm street and the sequels because I really enjoy Freddy Kreuger. Freddy is my favorite villain because he's scary as hell, but he also delivers with the dark humor and Robert Englund has done an awesome job portraying him for so many years. He has become such an iconic villain and I really think the nightmare franchise is such a unique and smart concept. A serial killer who kills teens in their dreams, It's brilliant and Wes Craven created a masterpiece. Well, not that we have that out of the way. Now I'm going to rank the films in order. Now obviously every film in a franchise is not going to be great. Some will obviously be better films than others. That holds true for this franchise as well. Altho...

A Spanish Teachers Top 10 Kpop groups (Male)

So today I wanted to write about my top 10 favorite KPOP male groups. Quick background, I got into Kpop about 3 1/2 years ago and I got hooked from watching Kdramas, (or Korean Drama shows). So if you're a Kpop fan, a casual listener, or maybe you've never even listened to Kpop, this list is just to introduce my favorites. Maybe you'll be persuaded to give some of these groups a listen. Okay, let's get started.  Now this list is going to be going from 10 to 1. I love all these groups and think they are all amazing but the number one spot is going to be reserved from my ultimate bias group. I will write a bit about why I put these groups on my list. 10. Pentagon I don't know why it took me so long to start stanning Pentagon, but they definitely deserve more love and recognition. They have some great songs.  9. Monsta X Monsta X is a group I just recently started listening to and I have to say they really are an amazing group. 8. Seventeen ...

Biggest Reasons to be a Teacher!

Hey! So, I have successfully completed a whole year of teaching this past May and I can say teaching has it's high moments and it's low moments, but looking back, the good definitely out weighed the bad. So I'm going to list my top biggest reasons to be a teacher and the biggest advantages of being a teacher in this post. So, if you are a teacher, a student, or thinking of being a teacher, this post is for you. If you are none of those, this post is still for you because we've all had teachers, right? So starting at number 5... 5. One reason to be a teacher is the benefits.  Teachers have access to some pretty solid benefits. At least in my experience there is a wide variety and there are pretty good, comparable to some other professions. Additionally, depending on the state and school district, you might have a build in retirement that you can set up and have once you retire.  4. You get plenty of vacation time off.  Obviously one huge advantage...

Million Yen Women - Japanese Drama Review

Hey! In this post I'm going to be reviewing a Japanese Drama called Million Yen Women, that I watched on Netflix. First a little background. One of my favorite things to do is watch TV. I love finding a good show and binge watching. I started watching Asian dramas my sophomore year of college and since then I've been hooked. I've watched dramas from Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Pakistan, Philippines, and India. Now I don't exclusively like shows from these Asian countries, I still watch American shows as well, but I do find myself binge watching these more often because they are usually one season with anywhere between 10-30 episodes. Short and to the point. Now there are shows that are longer but generally that is the episode range. In addition, I also watch telenovelas occasionally, but let's save that for another post. Through my blog I want to review and recommend some TV shows that I truly enjoyed and I hope you will too! Anyway lets get...
