Newbie Blogger Link UP

Newbie bloggers! Yay!  I'm so excited to find some new bloggers....I'm linking up with Grade Three is the Place for me.  I still consider myself a newbie blogger because I don't have 100 followers so I hope it still counts :)


Questions to Answer: 

 1.  what state you are in
    2.  your current teaching position
    3.  your teaching experience
    4.  when you started blogging
    5.  share a blogging tip / blogging resource



1. I'm in Missouri
2. I'm student teaching starting in August in second grade :)
3. I've done my practicums in 2nd grade and 1st grade, but subbed in K-5, music, art, and counseling classes numerous times
4. I started blogging in March! Its fantastic to share all my ideas and find so many more!  
5. Use Pinterest, you can pin images from your blog...that's where a lot of my traffic comes from.
You can track who pins images from your site by using this and just changing the red part with your website!  Hope this helps!




Also, look at your stats- they can really help see what posts are getting read the most and what your readers might want to see more of! 

Go check out more newbie bloggers- we've all been there, show them some love!

    Great idea about using Pinterest! I am your newest follower! Substitute teaching was an amazing experience and by far when I learned the most!

    I nominated you for the “Liebster Blog” award which means “favorite” or “dearest” in German. Come visit me to pick up your award! :)

    I'm glad you joined the Newbie blog hop! I wish Pinterest and blogging had been around when I was student teaching! Thanks for the detailed Pinterest/blogging tips. I haven't yet pinned anything from my blog in Pinterest.
