Today we are throwing a big, humongous bash to celebrate YOU!
Last year we blogged about our favorite non-school related things,
this year we have decided that we will share with you our favorite school
things! So here we go:
My favorite website for my classroom is ...
I am so in love with this web site!
Reading aloud was always my favorite time of the day with my kids and
this web site is all about reading books aloud.
There are so many books on dozens of topics that I can always find one
to go along with my lesson. It's also a great last minute time filler when the days before the holidays get a little crazy!
My favorite organizational tip is . . .
More than once a zipper baggie has saved my life! I used to keep project ideas and patterns in file folders. Then when I got the file folder out the next year there was always a missing piece! But with zipper baggies you can put all the pattern pieces in the bag, zip it closed and never lose another vital piece to a project!
My favorite class holiday activity is ...
During the holiday season I loved read books by Patricia Polacco to my class. She has so many wonderful books for the holidays that it's impossible to pick a favorite. Her holiday books come from her own family experiences so they are about Christmas, Hanukkah and Epiphany. All the stories are about the love shared by families and friends at this special time of year.
An Orange for Frankie is my favorite holiday story because it reminds me of our holiday tradition of finding an orange in the toe of our Christmas stockings. My dad told me that when he was growing up oranges were very precious. It was a very special holiday treat to have oranges for Christmas.
To pass on this holiday tradition with your class you can read the book about Frankie and his special orange. Then you kids can make these little spice oranges to have in their homes for the holidays. (Click on the image to download the activity.)

My kids and I love Christmas but, I really didn’t want to ask for a divorce https://floridaonlinedivorce.com/cheap-florida-divorce/ until January so that my teenage kids can enjoy one last Christmas all together. But the repeated verbal abuse and character destruction my wife is doing to me, in front of the kids, will leave me in an early grave if I wait longer. For those of you who have done separation this close to Christmas, and have kids, did it ruin Christmas for the kids forever?
The other part is even tho I'm separating I have to remain in this house because neither of us have anywhere to go.
