Welcome back from Thanksgiving Break everyone!
I'm still shocked at how fast this holiday went by, and how much food I've consumed in the past few days. With the start of school, should come the start of the gym, oy!
I will have more fun school projects to share as I get back into the classroom this week but I am excited to announce that my little blog has received its first "Liebster Award". Thanks to Colleen over at Fun and Fearless in First for the award nomination!

11 Questions for My Nominees
1. What is your favorite subject to teach?
Reading.. I just started my master's degree in Language and Literacy. It is especially rewarding as a first grade teacher to see the HUGE development your students make from Day 1 to the end of the year. I love following them on the beginning of their literacy journeys!

2. Favorite holiday tradition?
Every Thanksgiving Eve my whole family gets together and we roll meatballs for our Italian Wedding Soup that we will eat the next day. It is definitely a unique tradition but one I know we will continue as our family grows older.

3. Favorite book to read to your class?
I love reading "The Kissing Hand" during the first few days of school. It is one of my favorite stories and really helps to relieve those first day fears.
4. Favorite guilty pleasure reality show?
Oh gosh, far too many :) They are awesome to watch while grading papers... I have to say Real Housewives of New Jersey. Those ladies and their over the top drama suck me in.
5. Favorite movie?
I'd have to go with "A Walk to Remember". The Jamie/Landon relationship gets me tearing... every.time.
6. What is your best childhood memory?
Spending time with my family and cousins at my Grandparent's house
7. What is your least favorite household chore?
This isn't exactly a chore, but I HATE taking off my nailpolish. I always have to have my nails done, but can't stand taking it off. I'm also not big on cleaning up the bathroom.. but someones gotta do it!
8. What are you afraid of?
Rodents--- I don't like rats/mice/guinea pigs/hamsters. I get goosebumps when they are around! Needless to say, my future children will not be allowed to have these little critters as pets
9. Salty or sweet?
Ooooh a mixture of the two! Favorite movie treat is popcorn with M+M's mixed in
