I have SOOOOO enjoyed my wonderful 5 day break! Ah, the joy of having a new kitten and a Christmas tree at the same time! I don't know if the tree will make it till Christmas or not!
But (unfortunately) it's time to get back to business! Besides doing lesson plans, printing and laminating, I'm filling up my cart on TPT!
If you are in a shopping mood, too, everything in my store is on sale!
