High Five (for Friday) To All You Teachers!

What a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week it has been! My current school is very enthusiastic and selfless during this time of year. We have a phenomenal group of people working in our front office and in other supportive areas around the school that makes this week very special.

Therefore, this is my very Teachery-Appreciationy Five for Friday! :-)

Rainbows, Flowers, and GOODIES!

The wonderful office ladies, PTA, and other fantabulous people around the building decorated our teachers lounge for the whole week. Each day there were some gifts either spread out on this table, or stashed in our mailboxes. My favorite gift on this particular day was some bright pink nail polish! :)

Snacks Galore!

One of the special days came with a delicious snack bar! All day long we could sneak into the lounge and grab some snacks, and, of course, we could pig out during lunch. My personal favorite was the bowl of Reeses. I ate two, or three, or six...

Rout-44... All Over The Floor...

Thursday the principal ordered us all Rout-44 Sonic Drinks. YUM! I got a delicious Vanilla Dr. Pepper! On the hard days, a good fat soda is really what makes a difference. ;-)

However, a good fat soda all over me and the floor can be what makes me bonkers! *face palm* 

Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

Steering away from Teacher Appreciation Week... The third graders in our building are studying life cycles and they have the wonderful opportunity to witnessing part of one themselves! Throughout the whole week they got to watch little chicks break out from their eggs and turn from a collection of weird little wet feathers into the cutest little balls of fur. The whole school loves this time of year because even other grade levels get sneak peeks here and there.

Aren't they just SO stinkin' cute!?!?!

Nothing Beats Free!

There's a teacher in my building who taught first grade for about 13 years. Next year she is transferring to our behavior specialist building. Therefore, she is cleaning house! She is giving me all of her first grade books so that I can add them to my classroom library next year. SO excited and SO very thankful!

That's the end of my Five for Friday. I would like to wrap things up by thanking any and ALL school personnel for what they do every single day, not just teachers! It is the overall academic atmosphere and the love, passion, and perseverance of teachers that made me who I am today, as well as inspired me to become a teacher myself.

You all inspire the world!
