Good Thing #5 - A Poem of Gratitude
My poem: amandazieba.com/blog/2019/11/27/a-poem-of-gratitude
Google Doc: docs.google.com/document/d/1uSpbZU9cZRccKRBxKpiV658xzxCgJvOMMXaaGjOtFzM/edit?usp=sharing
I always view our relationship as a collaborative one. I find, create, and share the ideas and then y’all take them and run with it. You know your school, your students… you know how to implement these ideas in a way that will WORK for YOU and YOUR classroom. My goal is (hopefully) just to make that task a little bit easier and maybe even a little bit more fun.
I hope that the days fly by and Thanksgiving break is here before you know it! I am so grateful for you and all you do.
All my best,
Amanda
P.S. In December, I’m switching up my email dates a bit because of winter breaks. I know you’ll need some word nerd goodness and lesson ideas earlier than usual, so look for me in your inbox on December 7th and 14th instead of my usual schedule. Spoiler Alert… I’ll be offering up that Classroom Library Giveaway (as I’ve done for the past 2 years…) so you will DEFINITELY want to open those emails!!
