I’m so excited to join the Sharing Our Blessings blog hop again this year! This annual event brings together upper elementary bloggers who love supporting teachers with meaningful, ready-to-use resources and spreading a little holiday cheer.
What I’m Thankful For
As I reflect on this season of gratitude, I’m especially thankful for:
Teachers who bring creativity and compassion into their classrooms
My family, including my husband, children, and grandsons who fill my life with joy
To share my gratitude, I’m giving away one of my favorite literacy resources… and it’s perfect for this time of year!
