Best Wishes, Michele

These are some of the deviled eggs I brought for the luncheon.

Today we had a nice luncheon for our building Teacher of the Year, Michele Usery.  She has her interview next week for district TOY.  I know she'll do well.

Happy Birthday, Cynthia Voigt

Born in Boston on February 25, 1942, Cynthia Voigt was the second of five children.  From the time she started high school, she wanted to be an author.   She has successfully reached that goal  with the publication of  nearly 50 juvenile and young  adult books.  She has also written a couple of dog stories for younger readers.   Angus and Sadie appeals to 3rd-5th graders and The Rosie Stories for K-2nd.

Valentine's Day can be almost as scary as Halloween.  "How?"  you ask?  Think about it -- Valentine party + candy/cookies/cupcakes + full moon.  

 

If you're needing a last-second Valentine for your kidlets, go to my shop, Little Red Wagon, on TPT for some free pencil sails.  (For some reason it shows the Adobe symbol instead of the product picture.  Can anyone help me out with that?)  There are 10 different sails on the page.

 

   

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
