Hello! CAFE Strategies, a Freebie, and an Award

Whew!  I'm tracked out at the moment, and have been busier than usual at home with my own green beans.  Love it, but it'll take a bit longer to get used to the change in schedule.  ;)

I whipped up my CAFE strategy bulletin board for the rest of the year; I haven't been pleased with the appearance of mine, and thought it was time for a change.  I used some adorable polka-dots from Jen R. at The Teacher's Cauldron - I'm such a fan!  :)

Here's a preview - they are up at my Teacher's Notebook store.  Enjoy browsing!

What's that you say?  You're just here for a freebie?  No problem!  Here's the links to just the CAFE headers (no strategies included) for free from Teacher's Notebook.  Enjoy!

I'm always truly honored to be recognized by my peers, so I'm proud that Simone from Busy as a Honey Bee chose me as a recipient of the One Lovely Blog Award.  If you haven't got Simone on your blogroll, go check her out...  I'll wait a bit.  ;)

I'll be back later in the week to share the award love - there's just too many great blogs to pick from!  By the way, I'm getting close to a milestone of 100 followers.  How exciting!  I've got a couple of blogging buddies planning something cool to celebrate, so check back later...
