Book of the Week
This week I am rereading The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo for the 100th time. It is going to be the first book in the new Teacher Book Club series that I am hosting on Facebook. More details will be coming this week. The main goal is to house a place where you can share and get ideas on using books for read alouds and guided reading.
Lesson of the Week
Fabulous Friday Freebie
I found this fantastic book in Jennifer Gibbon's Teaching with Grace Teachers Pay Teachers store. It was such a joy to sit with my daughter and color and read together. I was amazed at how much she has learned at her preschool this year. Each week it is loads more. This Emergent Reader Alphabet Book was the perfect resource for her to show what she knows and for the two of us to explore new letters.
My Favorite Pin of the Week
I am hosting Thanksgiving for my family this year and I am dying to try to put this centerpiece together. This may become a Pinterest fail, but I am going to try it out. I will share my findings with you.

Recipe of the Week
My family's all time favorite meal is Italian Chicken. I love it most of all because it is quick and easy. The kids can help me and it is minimal mess and time out of my busy day. I found it on pinterest and only in the comments. I added the link because there were other good meals but here it is:

4 chicken breasts
1 packet Zesty Italian dressing seasoning
8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
Cook on low for 4 hours.
If sauce is too thick, add a little milk. Serve over pasta.
Finding Time for Me
So one of the biggest things I have been working on lately is to find a little me time. After repeated recommendations, I finally started watching Parenthood on Netflix. Ahh, a show that is real to what it is like. No I don't have a big family, no I don't live in the same town as my family, but yes they show the hardships and the reality what my life is like. I find myself In many of the characters. And it's nice to find a show that can move me to laughter and tears and not to my iPad or computer.
