Happy Thanksgiving!

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is here already!  This year is flying by.  Each of the students wrote a post about what they are thankful for and  I encourage you to read those posts on each of their blogs.

  I give thanks each day for my blessings, but since my students shared,  I thought I’d also share some of the things that I am thankful for.

*I am thankful for my husband and best friend, Chris.  He is a super father and an all-around good guy. 🙂

*I am thankful for my daughters, Hannah and Molly.  They are awesome girls- beautiful inside and out and I am very thankful that I was chosen to be their mother.

*I am thankful for my family  and friends-people I know that I can trust and count on.

*I am thankful that I have never experienced true hunger or suffering.

*I am thankful that I can get up every day to go to a job that I love-many people don’t.

*I am thankful that I am now teaching at McDowell- moving to McDowell was definitely one of those “blessings in disguise”.

*And last, but NOT least, I am thankful for each of my students who make me laugh every day and make my day interesting.  🙂 🙂

Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your time spent with family and friends!

I’m Thankful For….

Pilgrim__Turkey_1It’s hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is coming soon.  A day that many of us will spend with family and friends and eating an embarassingly large amount of food.  A day when we are to think about all that we have to be thankful for (but shouldn’t we do that EVERY day?) 

I know I am thankful for many things.  One thing I am especially thankful for is the opportunity to come to THE BEST elementary and teach such a wonderful group of students!  I am also thankful for our team of teachers in the 5th and 6th grades here at Laurelville.  Laurelville Elementary is truly an amazing place! 

Of course, I am also thankful for my awesome husband 🙂 , my two beautiful daughters, and our handsome dog, Riley.   And I am thankful for all of the blessings we have that we tend to take for granted-good health, food, clothing, and shelter.   So many things….I definately feel very blessed.

What about YOU?  What are you thankful for?
