Check It Out

 We have a short week at my school. Today is the last day and then we get the rest of the week off for Thanksgiving.  Justina Chen Headley writes about what makes her thankful.  It seems good way to go for this week (and actually each day).

I have much to be thankful:

I work in a fabulously supportive school.  I did not become a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) without the staff, students, and parents of Silver Star.  I am thankful for their support.

My dear friend, Barbara (she and I student taught together), was my editor before I sent my portfolios off to be scored.  I am thankful for her editing skills.

Last night I received word about a grant to purchase multiple copies of a variety of gingerbread man stories to share at a Family Library Night.  I am thankful for the Evergreen Foundation for granting me a way to involve parents.

My aunt visited my school yesterday and the students loved showing her the books they were checking out.  One student called her “Miss Mac, grandma!”  Hilarious.  I am thankful that my aunt still travels at 89 years of age.

The “Comment Challenge” has been a challenge but fun. I discovered some great blogs such as Write About Now and Charlotte’s Library.  I am thankful for both Pam and Lee for challenging us to comment. I commented on 104 blogs during the challenge.

I am thankful for the blogging community- such a great way to connect.

I am thankful for the family that loves and cares for me. I am blessed.

What are you thankful for this day?

Happy Reading.
