What I'm Working On
The Friday Five this week is focusing on books we just have to have in our classroom libraries. I have been thinking about this one for weeks. I think choosing just 5 books might be almost as hard as choosing just 5 songs!
Paper Clip
Friendships are flexible, they change shape sometimes. Friends are tough and stand with you even if you have made a mistake.
Rubberband
Best friends can stretch out to explore new things independently, but the always come back together in the end.
Post-It Note
Friends give you the short and sweet facts. They tell the truth even when it isn't fun to do so.
Snickers Bar
Friends are nutty and sweet. The sticky caramel represents the glue of trust and loyalty that holds the friendship together.

All of the notes were special.
They ranged from sweet and sincere...
You make me feel special because you are always nice to me.
To reminding me why I do what I do...
To just plain funny...
Reindeer on that Beat...
Don't have a baditude!
Technology Tip
If you are into making slide shows for your class or splicing together video clips and pictures, check out the app Videoshop. It is one of the best I have seen for ease of use and ability to create special effects. My techy friend Kimmie over at Elementary Nerd showed me this app and I love it!Something I Am Listening To
I love you, Pat. But this is the only song I really connected with on your 8th album. Ya know, this song is enough to make up for all of the Nashville other songs. The message is clear, let's stop talking about we are against and make a stand about what we are FOR. The power of positive thinking!
