My Fur Baby, NC Blogger Meet Up, and a Freebie

Y'all already know that I'm not terribly talented in the housekeeping department, right?  I've wished for the "Laundry Fairy" to visit my house repeatedly, but to no avail.  I'm getting better, though.  The main thing I've learned is that I need to train the other people who live in my house to put things away after they use them.  You know: dishes; clothes; games; toys; etc.  The difficult part is convincing my new fur-baby to keep the shedding to a minimum, but I don't mind too much...
Our new fur-baby, Mavis.
Mavis has been trying to help, particularly with cleaning off our faces!  :)  She had to get out of my way when I went to work on the goodies for the NC Blogger Meet Up on Saturday...

I'm happy with the way they turned out... (even with Mavis' help!)

    Awww...I have a Springer Spaniel too! We shave him in the summer to keep his shedding down and keep him cooler. Otherwise, lots of brushing! :)

    Have fun at your blogger meet up!

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.
