Heys Guys! I know I missed quite a few days, so what I figured might be a better plan for me is to write multiple days at once. That way the post is more interesting and I don't have to get on everyday to post. It is a win win for everyone! So here we go!
Day 6- I am thankful for my instant pot. If you don't have one, get one! Put it on your registry, you won't regret it! I got mine for my birthday from my mom, I knows she is the best. Instant pots cook meals fast and with ease, plus it is all done in one pot! When you are done you only have to wash one thing! So great! I was able to make a meal that would give me lunch for the rest of the week. If you would like to the recipes that I have made in my Instant pot, let me know. I will gladly post them!
Day 7- I am thankful for the chilly weather! It is November and it actually feels cold in Arizona, shocker!! With all the storms going happening Arizona is fortunate enough to get to enjoy the benefits of those storms. It is nice that I can finally wear my fall clothes! I have so many. What is your favorite season?
Day 8- I am thankful for half days at school. Half days, the schools greatest day, students love this day and teachers love them even more. I am thankful for half days because after our staff meetings I am able to catch up on my work. I was able to finish most of my grading that I haven't done for 4 weeks. I know shame shame, but grading is the hardest part of teaching. I know you may be thinking it is the easiest and truly it is, but it is just the hardest part to get done for me.
I am also thankful for my boyfriend's family because they have welcomed me in with open arms. My boyfriend and I were able to go over to his sister's house and have dinner with her. Dinner wasn't anything special, but the company was great! I love her children and she recently just had a baby girl. She is just so darn cute! We were able to not only enjoy a dinner, but we were able to go out shopping. It was just a little something that really made the night for me.
Day 9- I am thankful for the furniture funding we were able to receive from the district to get some new furniture in the classrooms. I was able to receive two black bookshelves, and a new rug. After school I transformed my room. I feel it flows so much better now and I know will help me become a better teacher and my students will feel more comfortable now that everything has a place.
Day 10-I am thankful for Netflix. Some days I don't want to get out of bed and do things, so I stay in my pjs and cuddle up in bed with a blanket and some Netflix. These days couldn't be possible if Netflix wasn't around. I don't have cable, so this is my only form of entertainment. What Netflix shows do you enjoy watching?

30 Days of Gratitude-Days 4 and 5
Hey Guys! I really thought this challenge was going to be hard, but is so easy and simply. I think I mostly thought it would be hard posting everyday, but I am excited to post. I also thought it would be a fun idea to incorporate this into my classroom. My students were soooo excited and wanted to tell me EVERY SINGLE THING they are thankful for in their life(which was good and also tiring). So here we go!
Day 4- I am thankful for meaningful conversations. Yesterday I had the chance to sit down with my best friend and just have a chit chat, but it was more than chit chat. The conversation was deep, meaningful, and productive. You know one of those talks that it seems both parties walk away feeling empowered, moved, and inspired. You know one of those talks that makes you glad you are friends with this person and able to have this type of conversation. It was great! If you haven't had one of those talks in a long time then call up that friend and just talk. Take down the walls and become vulnerable, I promise it is worth it in the end.
Day 5- I am thankful for the ability to change. Man life would stink if we stayed the same all the time!! Each day we get the opportunity to change one thing about our life. It doesn't have to be something big and drastic. It doesn't have to be life altering. It be can as simple as driving a different way home or changing the radio station. Today I was able to change how I taught my reading block, clearly a big change. I needed it! Lately I was feeling stuck in a rut at work. I was beginning to feel I wasn't really teaching my students, like I wasn't really helping them grow. The same old thing every day,EXCEPT today!! My students seem to love our reading block and seemed more engaged than before. Cross your fingers the same happens tomorrow!

30 Days of Gratitude-Days 1-3
Hey Guys! It is finally November. We are so close to the end of the year, my favorite part of the year besides my birthday. I decided that this would be the year I find 30 things I am grateful for and write about them. I am a little bit behind, but that is no problem. I will just include those three days in this one post. Let's see how this goes!
Day 1- I am thankful for modern technology that allows me to quickly make calls. I was in desperate need of my venting, talking, and crying. I had nowhere to turn, besides my phone. I was able to call my person and talk and cry with him. I needed it so much. I just think what if I didn't have that, how hard it would be to go through something and not have those we need right at our finger tips.
Day 2- I am thankful for my two strong legs because I am able to take nice long walks with my love. Through these walks we have been able to get to know each other on a deeper level, we are able to discuss future plans, we are able to see eye to eye, and we are able to just enjoy one another's company. If you haven't taken a walk in a while find a friend and go!
Day 3- I am thankful for my mom's work. Every year her work has a picnic in which family and friends are invited to come. This year the picnic was held at the Phoenix Zoo. I hadn't been to Zoo in so long, I was sooo excited! As a family we were able to spend time together and enjoy the zoo. We all had some good laughs and enjoyed the great weather.
