Well, hello there!
I say this in a sing songy voice with my head tilted and my pony tail swinging. Please picture it.
I say it like that because I’m wearing my new leggings, boots, extra long sweater, and scarf. Insert my pony tail swinging again while I chew gum. Smack smack.
Yes. ‘Tis true. I am a fashionista because the young salesgirl from Nordstroms made me into one. In fact, she pulled a bunch of clothes to go with my new boots and my new leggings and I liked almost every single item except for one sweater that appeared to have a tutu on the bottom of it and made me look like a little girl playing dress up.
And, truth be told, I didn’t get a lot of say-so in my boots, either, because I apparently have too small of a foot and most boots don’t come in that size. One guy even said, “We don’t have that boot in your little foot size. Because you have little feet.” Really. I am not exaggerating. That’s what he said. So after picking out several, only to be told we don’t have your size, I just said, “Please bring me any size 5 brown boots you have, thank you very much, and no, I am not an elf.”
Luckily, I liked one of the two that were brought out. Two. That’s all they had in my size. And, luckily, I liked the pair on sale.
Anywho, my new obsession is leggings. People! PEOPLE! Why didn’t you tell me to start wearing these long ago? It is like I am in my pajama pants except that they’re considered trendy and appropriate whilst out and about. And then you just wear big long stuff over them and YOU CAN EAT ALL YOU WANT! I want to wear them every single day. Obviously.
Speaking of pajamas, I got a new pair of those, too.
Now that is a successful shopping trip.
This is pretty much me. Except it’s not me. But I pretty much bought this whole thing without the person inside.
I would LOVE to win a set of these! Your outfit sounds super cute AND I am jealous that you have the ENTIRE WEEK off for Thanksgiving. I have to still teach Monday and Tuesday, and that makes me tho, tho sad. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! π

Can't wait to get my hands on these! We've performed them twice now. Once was a trial run for other classrooms. Kids were so excited they went home and told their parents they were in a play so I got multiple complaint phone calls that parents weren't invited. SO… we picked a second one for each group and invitations were sent. 16 parents showed up (that's more than signed up for conferences!!) and the kids even asked for copies to take home and practice… I think we're HOOKED! I LOVE it!! I was one of those begging for more… so fingers crossed and going to add to cart just in case I don't win. Thanks!!
Oh yeah…. arusso@culpeperschools.org
Love your readers theatre packs! krishankins09@gmail.com

Wow! Except for that I'm not teeny tiny (size seven wide calf boots, which are, by the way, just as hard to find), we apparently have the EXACT SAME TASTE in clothes! I am loving the leggings and long sweaters and scarves combos this season, for the same reasons you mentioned! I would love to win the newest pack, as my class has devoured every.single.one to date! We NEED new ones! And I am one of the twelve or nine or five that asked for holidays and winter and more challenging! But I might have to go buy them before you pick a winner. I'll cross my fingers! Thanks for the chance!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, it's marcy.wegner@breckschool.org
Leggings are the next best thing to pjs or yoga pants. Not that I do yoga! I love these readers theaters.

debbie.prellwitz@gmail.com
Ummm…would I like some free plays? Yes please! I love all your stuff! When leggings started being cool I thought I would NEVER wear them, but now when shopping I ask myself, "Could I wear that with my leggings?" Or, could I wear it with my jeggings b/c yes, I have some of those too. Not the denim kind…they are rusty corduroy and they are like leggings but warmer!

You are so funny! I truly enjoy reading your blog. I would also love to have this Reader's Theater Partner Plays for my wonderful first graders. I think my kids would LOVE this!! mom2alexnnick@aol.com
So, I just started reading your blog about a week ago, and I LOVE IT. Seriously. I feel like we share a connection because I, too, am a teeny tiny teacher at 4' 11". I'm a first year teacher in NC and I've taken so many of your ideas and put them into my classroom because they're just that amazing. Forreals. I would love to start using Reader's Theater in my classroom with my littles (or at least the ones that can handle being allowed to talk in their centers at this point!). If I could win this, I would be ecstatic!
Aurora.leynes@gmail.com
I have your fall edition and my Littles love them. These would be perfect to add after Thanksgiving! Fingers crossed!!!
