Treats are in the Lounge

Since I have become an author over at Teaching Blogs Addict, I have discovered many wonderful and talented teacher blogs. Along the way I find myself hopping into all sorts of interesting blogs. Today I stumbled on to Cookies and Cups. I think I gained a few pounds just LOOKING at all the images of wonderful treats. I don't know about your school, but we have "Treat Day" every Wednesday. Teachers  & staff sign up to bring treats for everyone. Our staff is so small now that this year I had to sign up for 4 days to bring treats. By my last turn I felt a little burned out....Cookies and Cups has wonderful recipes and photos to go with.  This blog definitely gets a HOT TOPIC award, we'll be talking about this one in the lounge at school!
I can't wait to try some of the recipes over the summer and have something new to bring for treat days next school year! Check out Cookies and Cups:

There's also a GREAT idea for creating a treat for kids. My plan is to make these as a WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN item for next fall!: Pencils they are too cute!

Great BAG-PACKS!

Mrs. Carroll over at the First Grade Parade has step-by-step directions and pictures for turning and ordinary paper grocery bag into an adorable backpack, or BAG-pack! ;-)

Thank you Mrs. Carroll for sharing your wonderful idea!
PS...it's definitely a HOT TOPIC in the Lounge!
