The first package was a Pampered Chef Food Chopper that I won from Sweet Peas and Bumblebees when they had their Birthday Bash giveaway.
My surprise package was "a just because" package. Carrie found this adorable apron, packaged it up with a sweet note and sent it to me. It made my day.
I'm using it as my conferencing apron! Let me explain. When I am trying to assess my students or do guided reading groups during Reader's workshop I often get interrupted. I have heard of other teachers wearing a "conferencing hat" letting students know that they are not to be disrupted when they wear it, but hats and I don't get along. So when I saw this adorable apron with its big pockets and perfect length I imagined a conferencing apron. The pockets will be for post-its, pens and paper clips and when I wear it my students will know I am conferencing...then if I travel I have all my materials with me ready to use! Thank you Carrie Jo! It's always nice to have surprises waiting for you on your door step.
