Introducing The Primary Pack!

 
I am so excited to have the opportunity to work behind the scenes with the fabulous bloggers of The Primary Pack!  We are collaborating to bring you a rainbow of ideas!  Make sure you follow along to grab a bunch of colorful freebies, as well as enter our giveaway with $300 worth of prizes!

Hey all! I’m Elyse blogging from A is for Apples. I am a Florida native who loves reading, the Florida Gators, and watching TV. I went to the University of Florida and graduated with my Master of Education in 2008. I worked for UF for a year on a multidisciplinary team, taught Kindergarten in Gainesville for 3 years, and now I’m in my 3rd year teaching in the Tampa area.



I have been married to my hubby, Shawn, for a year and a half. We have an amazing dog, Sadie, who is actually the true love of my life! Shawn is a life/business coach and consultant so he’s a big positive influence in my life. You’ll see me quote him at times which I refer to as my “Shawn-isms.”



My true love!!!

We’re so opposite!! He’s strictly a vanilla guy and I won’t touch it unless it’s at least 75% chocolate (Why waste the calories if it isn’t?!)
At least I know I’ll never have to share my dessert… (and I take my dessert very seriously!!!)
Teaching Kindergarten is something I always knew I’d do. I grew up helping my Mom in her preschool classrooms and always said I’d be a teacher, a Kindergarten teacher. When I moved to Tampa, I needed a job and had to start the year in 2nd grade. After winter break, I happily moved back to Kindergarten which is where I knew I belonged! I love creating activities for my Kinder kiddos and watching them as they learn and grow!


I just have to share my new favorite shirt!
(Except you probably do understand which is why I love blogging and sharing my teacher world with you all!)
To celebrate our new collaborative adventure, The Primary Pack is hosting a giveaway with tons of fabulous prizes!

A Very Dinosaur Birthday by @adamwallacestuff is the cutest book for any and all dino loving kiddos! My daughter has been cracking up as we read this one, imagining dinosaurs at her birthday party!! I always love a book with rhymes too. And the illustrations and colors are so bright and inviting!

After reading this one, we had to grab How to Catch a Dinosaur from the library.

Thank you to @smithpublicity for sending a copy our way.

I'm prepping for a family seder (the Passover dinner) tonight, and I cannot wait to share this holiday and its importance and make family traditions with my daughter and husband!

The song playing is the background is Dayenu which means "it would have been enough" - it is a song of gratitude for each thing G-d did to help the Hebrews (Jews) and as they fled Egypt.

Something else we say at the end of seder: Next Year in Jerusalem! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Chag Sameach, Happy Passover!
