Happy Thanksgiving!

I was writing with my first graders last week and we were sharing all of our thankfuls. They laughed at me because my list just kept going and going. Soon, their lists started growing too. Funny how that happens. 

Here's what I shared:
I'm thankful for my family, my friends, my home, my brilliant students, my colleagues, opportunities, memories, books, books, books, our school, alone time, road trips and plane rides, snuggles, challenges, the short drive home, people who help people, the beach, photographs, my cell phone, my laptop, the couch, coffee.....

Here's to sharing our thankfuls and hugging our loved ones! That's my plan for today! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
