High Five for Friday

REALLY glad it is Friday!

Here are a few things that made my top 5 this week:

1. Got this really cute Tiffany's bracelet while home....

.....for FREE.

Long story :)

2. Went to a really awesome training yesterday.

We were trained on Prevention Dimensions. 

We were instructed on how to implement various activities in our classrooms to

help kids not only succeed academically, but socially and emotionally.

As we do this, statistics found a decrease in drug/alcohol use and

various other risk factors in their lives.

It really left me loving my job and the difference teachers can make!

3. There is basically 2 1/2 weeks until Christmas break!

I'm just a little excited!

December will be such a fun month.

We will be exploring how different countries and cultures celebrate winter holidays, 

having a Polar Express Day, and so much more.

I've decided that since we celebrate all of their birthdays, we will celebrate mine, too :)

4. Anyone catch last night's Vampire Diaries?

Ohhh ohh!!!!

I'd like one of these for Christmas.

You can totally combine Christmas and Birthday on this one, Mom ;)

5. I am such a proud teacher when my kids nonchalantly 

throw up words like "fiction," "nonfiction," 

"sphere," "main idea," and "punctuation" like its no big deal.

Smart, smart kids :)

Enjoy...

Have a nice weekend :)
