After so much rain lately, I looked out the classroom window and everything was sparkling in the sunshine- so pretty!
Teaching:
Today was a busy day with a lesson this morning using the book What Does Peace Feel Like? This is definitely a book I need to buy- it was great! The children had a worksheet to fill out with their own ideas afterwards. They found the ideas came easily, but answering in a complete sentence did not.
We did some skip counting, practices our poem for the assembly on Thursday and worked on our Poppy wreath for the assembly. Nothing too exciting, except the fact I now have thirteen kids working on sight word booklets. It’s going to make for some very busy mornings as they come to read them to me!
Health:
I tried a new masseuse today who was a guy. It’s a first for me, but so far I don’t hurt. I’m hoping it stays this way as he is just across the street from me so would be super convenient!
House:
I finally managed to get my sheets changed and my new duvet cover on. I bought the wrong size:(. The duvet is a king and my duvet is a queen. It’s a final sale so hopefully it won’t bug me too much!
The pattern isn’t quite as strong as I would have liked. I’ll have to do my best to be neat and tidy and not get stains from my morning tea on it!
Reading:
I received a free copy of Kait Nolan’s newest Wishful novella, Once Upon a Rescue
This story of Brooke and Hayden is a sweet introduction to the winter season. Hayden is the sweetheart that helps Brooke out of a tough spot at her animal rescue centre. It turns out he’s sweet all the way through.
The story is short, but the characters are well developed and the reader isn’t left with questions, but is instead left with a satisfyingly sweet feeling. Definitely a worth reading novella!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I have also started and finished my next NetGalley book, Christmas in Cape Cod. It was a lovely book about a man and his best friend. Maddie has had feelings for Asa for a long time, but he finally realizes his feelings during the Christmas season. It’s a sweet friend’s to more short novel. I liked how the characters were portrayed and the plot had a good pacing to it. The only thing I didn’t love was that there wasn’t enough explanation of the back story. I still have questions. It is a good read for the holiday season however.
See this is what I get like when I have a goal- single minded. Sometimes it’s a good thing and sometimes it’s not. This time, it’s definitely not good for my knitting!
Clean November Challenge:
Not a perfect day, but not too bad either. I had an extra apple and two rice crackers.
I’m going back to my reading now!
Have fun!

A Petite Slice of Life 
I was pleased that you want the children to answer in complete sentences. I didn’t think anyone cared any more.
Oh I care! I’m a little old fashioned in what I teach
That is fantastic!!
I have a queen and usually but king. I like the extra material my hubby is a cover stealer. Glad the weather broke I am looking forward to some cool weather after all the rain here has passed on. Have a great week📚
Hmmm I’ve always just bought queen but you make a good point. Hope you get nice weather soon!
Aww.. It’s still a pretty set though. 🙂
Your bed looks super cozy:) I have a full size comforter and use a full/queen duvet cover. I think it’s easier to get the comforter in and smoothed out evenly.
Yes I’m not loving the extra duvet cover hanging down, but maybe everything will shift:)
Nice headboard and lamp to go with the covers
Thank you. The lamp was my grandparents when my mom was little
Excellent book!
An extra large bed blanket is the best!! Our summer quilt was for a full/queen and now our fluffy warm quilt that’s a full seems small.
Lol I just have to get it on right and straight and then I don’t think it will bug me as much
Ooo a massage sounds so nice right now! Hope you continue liking your new masseuse! What a pretty comforter. Enjoy your reading 🙂
The massage was lovely. I will definitely go again to that guy!
Thank you! I am enjoying my books!
That books sounds cool and complete sentences are always a challenge but fantastic that you’re enforcing that! 💖
It was a great book! I may just buy it!
Ugh it was painful, but it’s a skill they need to learn!
Your bed looks nice and cozy – do you drink teat in bed and read in the morning or just sip and think about the day ahead?
I only get to do that on my holidays but I drink tea and read and think about what I want to do for the day
It is good to have some quiet time before you start your day – it may be the last time you can have your thoughts to yourself before you go to bed that evening! My quiet time is walking to/from the Park and there if I don’t talk to anyone (except the squirrels … I always talk to them when I feed them … perhaps that is why they are so friendly) (the peanuts don’t hurt either).
Yes I really do value my quiet time as I definitely don’t get that all day long!
That’s for sure!
Your new duvet cover is perfect for showing off a seasonal afghan!
Oh that is a good idea:)
You got a lot of good reading in today! Your new duvet cover is lovely! It looks very cosy 🙂
So far the duvet has been good:)
Yes I’m trying to clear out my have to reads:)
