Winner and I am THANKFUL!

A lot of you had some good answers to my question on what I do the Friday after Thanksgiving, BUT
REAGAN TUNSTALL got it spot on! I like to sleep and then do absolutely NOTHING!! I do consider myself the avid shopper, but I just cannot get myself up to go do all that craziness! So, Reagan email me and I will send you your free copy of the phonics pocket chart sorts!


Now, I saw that Rachelle over at What the Teacher Wants is having a lovely linky party about what we are thankful for, and I knew I had to join in!

1.  What are you thankful for in your classroom?

I am thankful for my students. They brighten my day everyday, even when they drive me crazy. Some deal with things I have never seen or could understand but they still come to room 103 ready to learn. I don't have kiddos of my own so I am proud to say I am a mom to seventeen! I am also thankful for my new ActivBoard. :)

2. What person are you most thankful for?
I am thankful for Ms. Simoneaux! Thank goodness she teaches next door to me because I need her at least 5 times a day. It has been the best experience to have a great team to work with and come up with amazing ideas and prove that any group of kids can learn.

I am also thankful for my amazing family. My stomach already hurts from laughing and I have only been home for two days!

I am also thankful for my manfriend. :) He supports me in my profession and understands I just need to ramble sometimes, but he knows how important my students and career are.

3. What 3 blogs are you most thankful for?
I am thankful for umm ALL of them? I guess I will try my best to narrow it down...
I have to say sweet Cara at The First Grade Parade. She has made me think outside of the box when it comes to math tubs! Thank goodness for her amazing ideas!

Diane and Kelly at Made for 1st Grade are amazing! They have the best ideas and I have used a couple in my classroom and my kids loved them!

Last, is Mrs. Lemons and Step into 2nd Grade. She has the best ideas and she offers all of her products for free! I love her thinking and she is a Texas girl which I love. :)

4. What guilty pleasure are you most thankful for?
Online shopping. Seriously, I just love doing it. You can ask Ms. Simoneaux. She walks into school with something on, within ten seconds I am asking where it is from and then probably buying it. I also am thankful for gluten free treats because I get them very rarely. I am thankful for coffee even though my Keurig broke this week. :( I am thankful for bad television too, because there is nothing better than some real housewives drama sometimes. Last, college football and NFL. I may be a girl but I love me some football....GEAUX TIGERS and Go Cowboys!

5. What are you most thankful for?
I am most thankful for the amazing people who surround me and support me, and all the amazing opportunities and experiences I have had in my life.  I consider myself blessed. :)

Hope y'all are having a good break!
