Hello!! Welcome to another Thoughts on Thursday! Thank you for joining Kristi ( from Pelicans & Pipsqueaks ) and I this month! Thoughts on Thursday is our monthly linky where we share our thoughts on various topics. This month we are talking about all things we love! Let's begin! Teachers love knowing all the things. Okay so we don't really know all the things, but we know a lot of the things. We know more than the average Joe and we love teaching others about the things we do know!! We also LOVE everything from Target. Everything. All of it. My paycheck goes there.  I mean, just look at my fabulous find here. Look at it! And where would we teachers be without our LOVE of caffeine? For some of us it's tea. Others drink coke or other forms of carbonation. Me, my choice is COFFEE. I. Love. Coffee. All day, every day, all hours of the day.  Did I mention memes? I think teachers love memes . I posted some teaching related memes in the sixth grade hallway this year . Hilari...

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope your holidays were fabulous and that your new year has been wonderful so far! Thanks for joining Pelicans and Pipsqueaks and me for this month's Thoughts on Thursday. Today we are talking all about resolutions! A new year brings new opportunities for growth and change, both personally and professionally. Now is the time to try something new, change up a bit of your routine, decide to work out once a week, anything! This is will be easy to keep! Some of my resolutions for this year are: 1. Be more positive. 2. Save money. 3. Plan things better. 4. Go to Disney. 5. Win the lottery. Okay so maybe 5 is a long shot but hey, resolutions are meant to be exciting! In regards to 1, I'm being more positive about what and how I eat - keeping it clean, whole, healthy. Though I will occasionally (or more often!) eat my cookies and cakes! As far as saving money goes, nothing frivolous! That includes not eating out when not necessary, not purchasing anything t...

Hi guys!! Welcome to another Thoughts on Thursday! Thanks for joining Kristi and I for December's topic: Your Favorite Christmas Traditions! I love Christmas! It really is the most wonderful time of the year. There is so much going on all around the city and the state and the Internet and everything! I know in our family we always do Christmas in a big way. One reason: my grandmother was born on Christmas Eve and we have her birthday party every year on that day. We do it themed and have the best time. One year we did the Grinch! We also have our Elf, Sparkle. She has a pet reindeer, Ginger. And graphic tees.  We've had Sparkle for about 7 years now. She comes each Thanksgiving and hangs out with us.  Another family tradition is the purchase of our Hallmark Keepsake ornament for the year. This year it's bittersweet because it's the final ornament in the Santa's Sweet Ride series. We started this when Carly was six and this is the tenth and final one.  Carly and I wa...

Hi guys! Has your fall so far been going by in a very busy blur of pumpkin flavored everything and stuff to do? Mine has and it's insane and awesome! I'm so happy to be back today with my #bloggybestie Kristi from Pelicans and Pipsqueaks for Thoughts on Thursday for this month.  We are talking about Fall in the Classroom today! Why? Because, pumpkins of course.  There are so many way to celebrate fall in the classroom. You can do pumpkin things, turkey things, bat things, leaf things, coffee things-ok, maybe not so much that last one. But you get the idea. I wanted to share with you my favorite ways to celebrate this special time of year! I love to read books about all things fall. A few of my faves include:  The Biggest Pumpkin Ever, by Steven Kroll How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin? by Margaret McNamara Apples and Pumpkins, by Anne Rockwell From Seed to Pumpkin, by Wendy Pfeffer Scaredy Cat, Splat, by Rob Scotten Pumpkin Hill, by Elizabeth Spurr and my FAVORITE Spookley the ...
