Reading=Chick-Fil-A

I sorta went on a blogging hiatus after only a few short posts!  How pathetic : )! What does it say that it bugs me that my background/title doesn’t look the way I want yet, so I avoid blogging?!  Ridiculous!  I need to get some learning on, on one of my upcoming breaks.

I don’t have much to share (cuz I feel like I need pics and it’s getting late, so I’ll share again tomorrow) except that Eat Chick-Fil-A with your Teacher Night totally rocked !  13 kiddos came out!  Let me tell you some kiddos who have been a little lackluster with their reading logs certainly filled it out this month to get Chick-Fil-A!  They had so fun playing in the play area with their friends that milkshakes were an afterthought.  You’d think they never saw each other!  The parents now want an adult night : ) – I secretly love that they are getting to know one another!  That’s kind of been my dream is to get these parents to bond and know one another, so maybe they will help each other out, share ideas and questions, and just not feel alone, but attached to the people and the school (I have a theory that that’s how you suck them in to volunteering and participating more : ).  I know not all parents feel alone, but their kid is going to be with some of those same kids for the next 5 years in the same elementary school. I think I ‘d like to know who my child was around all the time. Plus, I love anything where I get the community involved.  Once I have the idea I run with it…I just need the idea first and I need to get up the gumption to just ask.  I’m learning it never hurts to ask (businesses)…all they can say is no, but they could say yes!

Anyway, Chick-Fil-A is awesome (all I did was fill out their donation request form) so sweet and free milkshakes (adult smalls! those are big milkshakes for little bodies)!
