THANK YOU AVERY & SHOPLET!

It is always nice to get a little care package in the mail.
It brought back memories of when I was a little girl and my dad or my God-Mother would send me birthday care packages for my birthday or Christmas.

Last night I was nicely surprised by Shoplet.com and Avery!
I received an unexpected thank you for being a TOP BLOG REVIEW for Shoplet.com and Avery Products.
The reviews actually came natural because I truly use and love Avery products. They are all over my classroom.
Here is what I received.
An Avery Lunch box, a top of the line Avery bag, an Avery USB with it's own little blue case, and an Avery water bottle.

I love that all of these items will be able to be used on a daily basis.  I use a USB everyday, drink water everyday, need a bag everyday, and I pack lunch ALMOST everyday! LOL!

It was really a happy time for me this morning when I pulled out all of Avery's gifts!

THANK YOU!!!!

Technology in the classroom

Check out these great videos created by our Harlingen School District.

I have truly enjoyed every bit of technology that our district has allowed us to utilize in our classroom.
Bring down the 4 walls of your classroom and explore the endless collaborations, strategies, and networking that can happen with technology embedded in your everyday lessons.

This is the future for our HCISD students. I'm SOOOO excited!!

Product Review-Numi Teas

I
SHOP GREEN

I recently had the opportunity to review Numi 8 assorted Organic Teas for Shoplet.com.  It is great that Shoplet Office Supplies can provide tea, coffee, and drinking supplies for an office.            That makes it convienent for an office, a one stop shop.                                                                                                I have to admit that I am not fond of tea. I usually only drink sweet tea and usually when it is on ice.  Every once and a while when I have a sore throat I will drink on cup of hot tea, but that is not very often.  It was very hard for me to try all the flavors. :/                                 The 3 flavors that I liked were: Numi Chamomile Lemon tea, Numi Orange Splice Tea, and Numi Gunpowder Green Tea.

Numi Chamomile Lemon Tea: Tasted Refreshing.  I am really picky about smells and this is why Chamomile was the first tea that I tasted.  I love the smell of lemon.  I loved the taste the best.  If you like your tea with lemon, you will love the taste of Chamomile Lemon Tea.                                                                                                      My 2nd favorite was the Numi Orange Spice Tea.  I love orange and how it smells.  I am a very simple and picky drinker like I said before.  I did not particularily like this flavor.  My husband on the other hand liked it very much.  I was not pleased with the after taste either.  :/                                                                                               My 3rd favorite was the Gun Powder Green Tea.  I was nervous at first to taste this flavor, only because it is really dark and smells a bit stronger than the other teas.  I did not like this flavor very much.  My son tasted this flavor with me and we both agreed that it was not a flavor we liked.               

I really am enjoying my Numi Chamomile Lemon Tea on this Beautiful Spring Break Morning!  

HAPPY SPRING BREAK EVERYONE!!!!
