My latest "Pinter-ations!"

Friday, March 1, 2013

My first post!

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog! I am new to the blogging world and am just starting out so please be patient with me as I venture to this new adventure! I have always wanted to start a blog and start a TPT shop so now I am doing that! A little bit about me: I am a 1st grade teacher in sunny FL hence the name.. First Grade and Flip Flops! I swear that I could wear flip flops ALL. DAY! We wear them even in winter here if its not too cold! I love teaching 1st grade and cannot imagine teaching another grade level. I am a mom to 2 of the cutest boys ever, Gabriel and Aidan. I am married to my sweet husband, Brian, who is a pilot...so a lot of the time I spend as a single married mother (makes sense right?). As you will see from my blog I have a great sense of humour and it comes out in everything I do because life is just way too short to be uptight all the time (although I DO have those days!!!). I love the Golden Girls, to clean, shop, read, and cook! I am a bit of a nerd but I think that's inherent in being an Asian person since I love to watch science documentaries, animal planet (I love Dr. Pol-- who's with me??), and ocean exploration. I also have a side of me that is TOTALLY 80's!!! I love the 80's-- music, manners, lingo, some fashion... I am always listening to 80's music and go crazy when I hear a favourite song (admit it, you do, too!). Anyway, that is me in a nutshell.I hope to learn more about you and all the wonderful things you do in your classrooms as my blog is a way of showing you the great things in my classroom. Be sure to check out my units on TPT (one I figure that out) as I have already created so many things-- just have to post them. Thanks for reading (if you made it this far)! Drop me a line and say Hi! xx

  1. Both of my girls had Mrs. Hamlin for 1st grade! They both learned and grew so much in her class. I have helped out in her class and she is awesome with the kiddos!! She has so many ideas that she wants to share with her class, now she gets to share them here!!

    We love you, MRS. HAMLIN!! Good Luck in your blog!!
