Let's Get Acquainted :) {and a Giveaway!}

I'm joining up with Latoya at Flying into First Grade for a super cute linky.  

This week we are doing.......  The NOUN Game (name your favorite person, place, thing, and animal.)
Here are mine.....
  
PERSON
My hubby.  We met 17 years ago, and got married 13 years ago.  My favorite thing about him?  He makes me laugh every day!  For me, that is huge!!  We also have 2 amazing kiddos.
PLACE
My favorite place is the beach.  I love to visit the beaches in North Carolina anytime during the year - not just summertime.  My favorite thing to do at the beach is sit on the sand, watch my kiddos play, and do absolutely nothing.  It is so relaxing, and helps feed my soul. 

THING

My favorite thing is also my favorite food - pizza!  If left to my own devices (and a closet of elastic-waist pants!) I would have pizza every day.  Well, I would shake it up every so often with a calzone, but I would definitely need to learn to love exercising if I wanted to stay in the clothes I already own.  
ANIMAL
I am on Team Dog.  I have nothing against the folks at Team Cat, but I really love, love, love dogs.  We are hoping to get another dog soon, so I'll keep you posted!  Here's a deep thought for the meantime...  :)

someecards.com - It is never okay to send me a Facebook friend request from the profile you've created for your dog.

Feelin' lucky?  Hop on over to Smedley's Smorgasboard for the 1000 follower giveaway.  You could win my Earth Day packet...  Just sayin'.  :)

    Hey, Jen - You might be my sister from another mother...I'm all about the NC beaches, team dog, and even pizza (although key lime pie rocks it).

Make and Take Literacy Night = Fun Parent Involvement

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. Here are my tips for an easy and successful Literacy Night in Upper Elementary classrooms. Make and Take for Literacy Night, grades 3-5 At a recent Literacy Night at my school, the parents met in the gym to see a quick presentation about state testing. The students went to the media center to watch a video, learn how to do the Make and
