Celebrating Success

I was a little excited when I received my Virginia Journal of Education February 2015 edition and saw that my blog was featured in the issue! They had contacted me a couple of months ago and asked me about it but I honestly didn't think I'd make the publication. I belong to an entire group of VA Teacher Bloggers and they could have chosen anyone else but I'm humbled they chose to spotlight me.

Report Cards are finished and I have stack of papers that I need to start grading for the 3rd quarter. I can't believe that the year is half way over. I'm certainly living the dream this year. I have 21 students on Honor Roll and I also have 20 students who have met the reading benchmark for the year. Don't pinch me... I don't want to wake up!

Valentine Goodies for my homies!

So I am a huge gift giver...I show love and appreciation by giving gifts. I can't wait to surprise my friends with this box of love! I ordered mini zipper pouches from Thirty-One and had the Heart Icon embroidered on them. I also ordered some Thirty-One notecards from my business supplies catalog and their heart shaped nail file. Then I went to Target and picked up some gift-cards and treats. I got the Chinese Valentine Box from Walmart.

Oh Snap Pockets

Loving my Oh Snap Pockets from Thirty-One! Still need to buy at least one more, just not sure what I want it to say... Intervention or Comprehension.

Double Duty Caddy

I'm also loving my caddy at my reading group table. I keep the leveled readers, lesson plans and reading folders in mine.

Stay tuned for a February Giveaway!
