Today is one of my colleague's birthday. She is an amazing teacher who has helped me heaps since I started at my new school. She is the type of teacher parents hope for, and the type that young girls imitate at home teaching their younger brothers and sisters. As I was sewing this I knew she was at home going through student data and making a strategy how to teach the next lesson. I knew I wanted to make her something for her birthday. I settled on this tote bag with a elongated pocket on front to hold pens and pencils. I know she is going to stuff it full of books and papers to take home for the night. I am so lucky in my new position. I have made wonderful new friends, and feel like I have been there for years. There is nothing like sitting with fellow teachers at lunch eating school pizza, laughing and laughing until the bell sends you all back to your students. Happy Birthday Kelly!Thursday, October 2, 2008

I wanna work with you:) What a sweet thing to do, and a sweet bag to do it with!
I wanna work with you too! What a thoughtful gift.
Lucky you to have such wonderful colleagues. Love the bag - sounds like it is the perfect birthday present for your new friend.
Having good coworkers at work certainly makes all the difference. I have wonderful SLPs that I work with....and we're going out to celebrate that fact tonight!
isn't it nice being able to give hand made gifts - something I have only recently discovered. Happy Birthday to your friend
