Lately...

Life takes twists and turns, but it always seems to work out ok.  Sometimes, we have to say goodbye to loved ones...
My first "baby," Sasha.  I love her and miss her terribly.
 Sometimes we play with our food...
NinjaBread cookies - we had so much fun making these!
 Sometimes we have to pack up and move...
The classroom I tracked in to this quarter.  (Don't worry - it looks much better now!!)
 Sometimes we just play...
We love Monopoly at our house, but the U-Build Monopoly is just fun to  build with.  ;)
 Sometimes we are reminded about the wonders of the world around us...
A 3-toed sloth in action at the NC Museum of Natural Science.
I'll be back soon sharing some of my new backgrounds I'm working on... shades of grey (but not 50!) with interesting accent colors.  Happy weekend, y'all!  Thanks for spending a bit of time listening.  :)

    Sasha looks so sweet! It is heartbreaking to lose them! We lost our little sweetie "Snickers" on New Years Day. She was my "little girl" and I miss her so much. What joy they bring to our lives!
    All the best to you.

The ultimate goal of literacy is to help students become life-long readers, so they can be educated citizens. The child's first and most influential teacher is their parent and/or guardian. With that in mind, it is crucial to give families the tools they need to help this child, as well as other children in the household. {Here's a link to an article from The Atlantic:  How Family Game Night Makes Kids Into Better Students } I love to invite families to school for Literacy Night. I've helped organize, prepare, and lead Literacy Nights at least 8 times over the course of my teaching career, and I plan to continue this for years to come.
