Holiday Recovery

So I literally blinked and life fast forwarded from Thanksgiving straight to Christmas.  I only had 15 teaching days between the two holidays which ended up including 2, 2 hour delays and 1 snowday on the Friday before break.  I tried to cram as much as possible into those precious days.  My class started out by having a gingerbread week the first week of December, we made, ate, graphed and did science experiments with gingerbread cookies.  The second week we did Grinch week and we wrapped up with Polar Express week (thank goodness we had our movie and PJ day the day BEFORE the snowday).  That leads to me break.....it's Thursday already folks!!!  YIKES!

I was checking my email when I received a feedback email from TpT.  I thought, hmm, what was this for?  So after a little investigation I realized that I sold my 1st product!!!!  WHAT the WHAT!?!?!?!  This instantly motivated me to get my butt on the computer and blog and start creating.  I was feeling like my creations were just a waste, other than for my own students who truly enjoy them....apparently someone else may believe in me too!  It's a small start....very very small but it's a start and I'm excited!
