I was working with a group of three girls on comparing and contrasting two stories. The rest of the class was doing the same thing in small groups. You could hear their amazing conversations. My heart was smiling nice and big :)
Freebie: I am getting ready to make Valentine's goodie bags for the kids before Target runs of pencils, erasers, stickers... I made these.
Please come and download here and if you can...leave me a love note. I'd LOVE that!
February Currently has arrived. Farley gives me a chance to reflect and I love sharing it with you.
I grew up learning that no matter what...manners were very, very important (Do I sound old?). It makes me sad to see how manners are becoming extinct. Say your please and thank yous :) It means a lot.






Love Vera Bradley!!

ReplyDeleteI'm a stickler for manners in my classroom. I know it drives my students crazy but I think that's something that I can't harp on enough! Def a big deal to me too.
