My Favorite Things and a Surprise

I'm joining up with another one of my blogger friends, Mary from Sharing Kindergarten, for another fun linky party: My Favorite Things.


I really love my Macbook Pro computer! I'm addicted to FB, Pinterest, and reading teacher blogs!

Another thing I am obsessed with is college!  I love taking courses and I'm not sure I'll ever be officially "done" with school!  The class I took this spring had most of reading assignments as articles in PDFs, so I bought myself a Kindle so I wouldn't have to print them all out.  It is AMAZING!  Plus, I got to read Fifty Shades of Grey on the airplane last weekend and no one knew! :)

Lately, something that has been making me really happy is my Birchbox subscription.  Birchbox costs $10 a month and they send you large samples of beauty products.  Last month I got an awesome chapstick, an elastic headband, some perfume, some makeup brush cleaning solution, and nail polish.  It's super fun to get each month and it's not a big commitment at all.  If you are interested in joining, click here!!
In my classroom, the one thing that has made the biggest difference in the past couple of years is my implementation of the Daily 5.  So my big surprise is that I am teaming up with Melissa at Seusstastic Classroom Inspirations to host a grades 1-2-3 Book Study for the Daily 5! 

We have an awesome crew of other teacher bloggers who are joining us for the fun!  Each chapter will feature teacher bloggers from each of the grade levels, we will host linky parties so you can join in and tell us how you use the framework in your classroom, and we also will be adding in some freebies to help you implement next year!  

Who's as excited as I am for this???

  2. I am so excited for the Daily 5 book study! I LOVE my MAC too, and a GINORMOUS thank you for sharing info on the Birchbox - I'm in line for the next sign up. So cool! Also, I think I just might have to get 50 Shades, that's all that everyone is talking about.
