These are a few of my favorite things....

Today was a day. We all have them. I've been out for a lot of meetings and we are struggling to keep our head above water with our current workload (the teachers, not the kids).  I love my class though so days when I'm drained before they even walk in the door is tough because it's not their fault.  If you are feeling this way too, I thought I'd share some of my favorite things this year if you need a little retail therapy as a pick me up!

THESE PENS
These pens are literally the best thing since sliced bread. I think half the teachers in my building are obsessed with them. They've been chatted about at countless meetings.  I will convert anyone else I see using something else.

THIS BOOK

This book was my favorite before Nick Bruel mde it big with Bad Kitty. This is the only project, I can say I have used (on purpose) with every class I have ever taught. We read the book, the kids love it, and then we do a writing project (whole class book on it).  It's an awesome keepsake from every year!

THESE POST-ITS

I'm piloting the workshop model so I should own stock in sticky notes this year.  These are an absolute lifesaver for my countless anchor charts!

There you have just a few of my favorite things from this school year so far! Enjoy!
