A Recipe Update

-
For those following my Biscuits and Gravy journey... 
The recipe I posted was overall a good choice. It was easy to follow and required very little skill or effort. 

 I tried the recipe out on Monday morning. I was off of work and John didn't have to go in until late-morning so I decided to get up and make breakfast for us. This was an especially nice treat because our work and gymnastics schedules do not align; we're lucky to have dinner together once a week let alone breakfast! 

 This was his first time having Biscuits and Gravy so I was happy to share this meal with him.

 Some suggestions for those looking to try at home: you cannot cut corned on the breakfast sausage. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. You really do have to buy the Jimmy Dean brand. Because there are so few ingredients in the recipe, all the flavor comes from the sausage. I tried using an Aldi brand and it fell short. 

 Share a slice tomorrow....

Thank you, Dad

Anyone who knows me, knows that my dad is a large part of my life. I take after him in many ways; my jokes, friendliness, ability to walk in a room and make a few new friends. Something I did not pick up on was his ability to follow sports! Glenn has always partaken in football squares, basketball brackets, golf tournaments, bets of all sorts. While he may have explained the ins-and-outs of these many times I can never seem to follow them with fidelity. But this is my year! I was recently asked to partake in some March Madness fun. This sounded like a great opportunity to truly follow basketball... until I looked at the overwhelming amount of names on the bracket. ***PANIC*** At that moment, calling my dad was a no brainer! The excitement in his voice made me so happy that I picked up the phone and asked him that simple question "Hey, would you be able to help me with my March Madness bracket?" While this story may sound simple, its a slice that is close to my heart.

Powerful Paper Clips

Our class has been working on a paper clip chain since the beginning of the school year. The top of the chain is attached to the highest part of our bulletin board. A paper clip is added each time the whole class is demonstrating responsibility, respect, and safety.  Just before winter break, the chain was halfway down the wall. This called for a celebration. Students voted between watching and episode of House Hunters (oddly one of their favorite shows), extra tech time, or me joining them in P.E.. By a landslide, I joined them in P.E. class that Friday.  Since then, we've been working really hard to have our paperclip chain reach the floor. Today that goal was accomplished! We played so well in gym and made sure everyone was included and walking back to class we received not one, but two compliments on how respectful we were in the hallway. This was a well deserved paper clip!  The amount of joy and pride in the room when that final paper clip was added surely made thi

Welcome Aboard an Adventure!

-
I'm excited (and nervous) to be writing my first blog post. Many questions are running through my head... Who will read this? What am I going to write about? Are there any tips and tricks to blogging? If there are, I'll be sure to share them with you! I note that this is an adventure because there is so much to learn. Over the remainder of the school year, my 5th graders and I will be mastering the art of reading, teaching... and blogging! This will be a whole new world for all of us. Starting in September, our class took on  Donalyn Miller's 40 Book Challenge . Blogging will give us a space to share our love, growth, and maybe even a few short-comings of reading. Stay tuned for book reviews, tips and tricks! Best, Ms. Walinski
