Back to the Ol’ Grind November 25, 2007

Well it is back to school tomorrow….yuk…and I spent my whole break being sick….which one of you gave me those nasty germs?  At least I was able to rest a little.  I got a little bit of shopping done and my Christmas tree is now glowing brightly in my den!  Have you started the countdown for the next holiday break yet?  My favorite Christmas memory is going to my Grandma’s house with all my family and watching each other open gifts one at a time.  It took a long time but I never wanted it to end.  What is your favorite Christmas memory?

Happy Turkey Day November 20, 2007

I hope that all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and come back to school well rested.  Don’t forget to read!! 

So… what have you been doing over holiday break?  I would love to hear from you!

4 days and Counting November 18, 2007

The countdown is on to Thanksgiving…only a few more days.  I am so glad to see how important your family and friends are to you and how thankful you are for the things you have been given.  It is very easy for us to get caught up in the “getting” here at Christmas time.  We tend to focus on ourselves this time of year and what great gifts we are going to receive.  Do you all know the saying…”It is better to give than to receive”?  It is one that we need to remember all the time, not just during the Holiday season. 

This year I am going to donate some pajamas to the Children’s Hospital, I am going to help my church deliver pies to needy families and I am singing in the Twin Living Christmas Trees at my church.  We hope to help lots of people come to know Jesus.  What are you doing this year to help others instead of helping yourself?  If you have not planned on doing anything…could you think of something?

Thank Goodness November 15, 2007

So guys…Thanksgiving is only a week away…are you on the countdown?  I know I am.  Three whole days out of school and some time to spend with my family.  I am most thankful for my family.  Without them I would feel lonely.  My favorite aunt who lives in Texas will not be able to visit this year.  I will truly miss her.  What are you thankful for this holiday season?

 

Good For You November 14, 2007

I Wish it would Rain November 14, 2007

That is a song title that I used to sing all the time…”I wish it would rain…just fall down from the sky…I wish it would rain…just pour down from on high”.  I think it might finally rain tonight.  Did you know how bad Georgia’s drought has been this year?  And it said on the news last night that one house used 4,400 gallons of water in one month…that is a lot…the power bill was over 1,000 dollars!  The people of Georgia are mad because these people wasted so much water.  I found a link that you can go to to read the article.  Do you know what a drought is?

Up and Running November 13, 2007

Okay…I have told all of my students about my blog now.  I will have to wait and see if I get a response from you.  If you did do your homework today…what are you planning to dress up as for Book Character Day?  If you are not going to dress up, tell me what character you would want to dress up as…it is so fun for us to get involved!  I have been keeping my book character a SECRET!!!  What do you think I will dress up as?
