Hope you can visit mine. Love your blog! I liked the Harry Potter movie too. Some were darker than others but they got children to read! So sorry about your house! Love your carton seats!

I'm so glad everyone was okay, and I'm so sorry about your sweet Panzer. You have had quite the year! <br /><br />On a much lighter note, thank you for sharing your fears about helping kids learn to read. It is the biggest gift you can give them and like you said, I'm so worried that I won't be able to do it effectively! I'm sure you're doing a great job because you care so much! I so appreciate you being open and sharing that, it's so comforting to know there are others out there that think like me!<br /><br />Also, your crate seats are AWESOME! <br /><br /><b><a href="http://classroomconfetti.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Classroom Confetti</a></b>Classroom Confettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782090942438125479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369565567676810137.post-11098648943564029752011-12-28T20:47:35.712-08:002011-12-28T20:47:35.712-08:00Jennifer,

It was started by our washing machine cord - and the crazy thing was that the washing machine wasn't even on when we left the house! It just started sparking and caught the wood paneling on fire. The whole back of our house burned (laundry room, kitchen and parts of the living room) and it's going to take major work to redo it - only the insurance company is dragging their feet - not over the claim, but just because the adjustor is incompetent and lives in Montana while we're in Oklahoma - talk about hard to get a hold of! We're selling it as soon as it's fixed because I don't want the memories that go with the whole ordeal any more!<br /><br />I got switched to 1st from kindergarten the day before school started and I feel like I've been running uphill ever since! Without a curriculum to guide me I'm just putting out fires for now - jumping in to plug gaps as I see them! I think it takes a lot of confidence to be a 1st grade teacher and that's something I don't have yet! I keep telling my principal she needs to move me back to kinder next year - I have to sya that I'm an "okay" 1st grade teacher but I'm an awesome kinder teacher (I know, I shouldn't brag!) we should all teach where our strength is, right?<br /><br />Thanks for hosting the linky and the kind comments :)<br /><br />Jennifer @ <a href="http://herdingkats.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Herding Kats In Kindergarten</a>Jennifer K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15114666136412667718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369565567676810137.post-11959951598353919792011-12-27T15:07:37.599-08:002011-12-27T15:07:37.599-08:00I love your crate seats!

First, thanks for linkin...WOWIE! This was a doozy.<br />First, thanks for linking up.<br />Second, holy cow, you're house burned????? Did you rebuild? Buy new? What in the world? How did it happen? Is there a post about this so I can read all about it? So glad your pets were okay!!!!!! But so sad to hear about Panzer and all I can say is that I understand and I'm sending you a big virtual hug.<br />I love that picture with the quote. Beautiful.<br />And you're my new favorite person because you're saying how hard first grade is to teach and that makes my day. And I wish I did NOT have a curriculum but that's because I've been teaching first for 15 years. I get why you might need one. :)<br /><b><i><a href="http://ateenytinyteacher.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">A Teeny Tiny Teacher</a></i></b>Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226820526811197762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369565567676810137.post-3462415500085657862011-12-27T14:31:15.165-08:002011-12-27T14:31:15.165-08:00Oh, I am gonna have to get one of those blankets! ...Oh, I am gonna have to get one of those blankets!
