Ah, good point. You clever little chook.
I would get either a Nook or a Kindle2, depends if they sell the Nook here or not. But I won't say more because I know you have little faith with regards to my geekyness.

A comment a day it is! You make sure you write, I'll make sure I comment! :p

Well sure, you didn't have any Pilgrims or Native Americans so you wouldn't have Thanksgiving.

Would you really get a Nook? That's awfully geeky of you.

A comment a day huh? I'd LOVE to see that!

Oooh he COULD be harvesting leaves. Good point.

I USED to do a post a day at the very beginning of this blog but it got hard, with work and all. But I'm gonna try.

Oooh it must be nice to look at all your mom's things!

That's one thing we don't have here at all, thanksgiving.
I like the board. You're so hard on yourself! I think it's got character. Nothing better than real handwriting and real colouring in! You've done well. As for the harvest pic... well, it could be a metaphoric harvest. :)
Barnes & Noble... those are the guys that are going to release the Nook soon, to compete with the Kindle. Hmm... I think I might need to get one, if they ever sell it here.
Gonna see if I comment on your blog every day. :)

Very much so. I made myself a paper chain to count down the days. I'm such a dork!

He could be harvesting leaves, right?

Keeping with the theme, I'm going to TURKEY this month. The last time I went was actually over Thanksgiving, so everyone gets a lot of laughs about that...

We can so do this NaBloPoMo thing!!!

Thanksgiving is a seriously under-appreciated holiday!

Wow, a post a day? I'm not sure I could do that, I'm so undisiplined when it comes to blogging. But I'm looking forward to reading yours! Hmm, now I'm tempted to try. I will go and check it out. :o)

I like your word wall, I think it's nice actually if the words are hand written. My mum is a teacher and has folders and folders of hand written, hand coloured words and displays.

Ari I think it looks totally great! I think the handwritten letters are way better than printed out, as it gives the kids something to imitate. And especially that turkey is so adorable. It's so great looking at your photos of Thanksgiving otherwise I probably wouldn't get excited for it at all...And I'm sorry for being such a lame blog friend, but I've been following what you're up to on twitter!

Aw thanks! :)

Thank you... and aw! Sometimes I think I'm too strict though, you may not have liked me as a teacher!

Re: November decorations

curiousillusion — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:32:00 -0000

Do you have pictures of the stuff you have done?!

Yup, good idea - we'll definitely have to help each other with ideas!

Oooh we do have a lot in common! Although... I actually quit 365 a few weeks ago. I'm kind of mad at myself for quitting, but I just got lazy and my pictures suffered and then I figured that there wasn't a point in finishing if my shots were awful. Good luck to you in finishing, it's hard work!

Thanks for the comment... and thanks, I'm looking forward to NaBloPoMo!

You're totally right, my students are VERY quick to point out my mistakes. Lol!

Re: November decorations

Thank you... and congrats on finishing up!! Excited?

Thanks Beryl. I like the hand-made stuff too... I always admire hand-made stuff of other teachers more than I do store bought things. And thanks, I think my handwriting was a bit messy but I try to make it "teacher" looking!

Oooh where are you going for Thanksgiving? And good idea on waiting... makes sense.

Mmm you should come Thanksgiving shopping in Canada! We have it a few weeks before Halloween so it doesn't get lost in the holiday shuffle. There are Turkeys galore!

And, by the way, I think what you've done looks fabulous AND professional. Who needs a computer?

Thanks for finding me! :) I love reading teacher blogs too... you're right, there aren't that many around. I wonder why...

I love your unprinted seasonal word wall. It's wonderful. Were I to teach, that stuff would totally be my favorite.

Good luck with the daily blogging! Your classroom looks adorable, wish you could have been my teacher ;)

I think the word wall is really cute and creative! I do hand done stuff all the time and I think it is totally fine, and sometimes even better!
Congrats on doing NaBloPoMo! I think I am doing it too, let's help each other with ideas if we get stuck :)
