Have you noticed?

Look at the side of my blog. Did you see those lovely buttons? I made those. I am not a computer programmer and I know virtually nothing about reading or writing codes but... I figured it out! I tinkered with the codes enough to kind of understand a little. Just another example of lifelong learning. Adding buttons and designing this blog has felt like learning to read all over again but the more I try, the better I get.
So go ahead, click my buttons. They work! (If they don't work, send me a message!)

I Chews You!

Where has the time gone? It has been since Thanksgiving since my last post!!! Everyone knows that February might as well be renamed, "The Month of Never-ending Routine Disruptions". Is that too long?
Between mid-year testing, 100th day, Valentine's Day, President's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Abraham Lincoln's birthday and a terrible case of strep throat, there has been little time for anything else.

Needless to say, I'm excited to be posting again. This is a little post but a post is a post is a post! I have been finding that my students have a case of the mid-year, Imma gonna do what I wanna dos. To rectify this I made a little box of treats. Sitting at the carpet has been rough so I put these little frootie chews inside an old formula box and labeled it, "I Chews You". When I see someone listening nicely I toss them a chew. They love it and I can always use a mid morning sugar rush.

Here's my Chewsy Box:
