Chef Struck

A few weeks ago, we had our annual career day.
Career day is always fun. I really enjoy getting to know what my students parents do for a living.
This year's career day was even more exciting because we had a guest speaker.

Chef Michael Psilaski.
He is currently the owner of 4 restaurants: Fishtag, Kefi, Mp Taverna (in 2 locations).
He spoke to the kiddies and told them to pick one thing they love and get really good at it, just as his father once advised him to do.

I thought he was very charismatic and sweet to the kids.
Of course, Ms. Phantastic and I asked for a photo, haha.

So this past weekend, I had the opportunity to check out one of his restaurants Fishtag in the upper west side of Manhattan. 

My review can be found here on a NEW blog I started. This new blog is a little bit different because for now, I need to add your email address for you to be able to read my posts. 

I plan on updating more about my personal life there so if you'd like to follow me on my new blog, just send me a message, email, or comment below! 

Stay warm everyone!

Think Breakfast

As a teacher, I am always looking for FREE things.
Whether it be a coupon for a free planning book or a free workshop for the kids,
TEACHERS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR FREEBIES!
There are a couple of FREE things I want to blog about in the future but for today,
I want to share the FREE Think Breakfast program. 
Did I mention that it's COMPLETELY FREE?

Helping Students Make Better Breakfast Choices

This year’s Think Breakfast! initiative includes an interactive CD storybook and the New York State Walkabout Challenge. It provides a dynamic way for students to learn the value of eating well and daily physical activity. Students can create their own story! This includes developing characters and choosing different ways to train for a big field day event. When completed, they can print out their very own books.

AKA they will send you workbooks, pedometers (the kiddies LOVE their pedometers), stickers, and other goodies to teach the kids the importance of healthy eating!

All you have to do is sign up and they will send you a class set of whatever they are offering for that school year. Ms. Phantastic (my co-teacher) signed us up for it again in September and our goodies arrived this week!

These are the goodies that we received for each student...

(poster for our room, workout CD, page of stickers that go with the kids workbooks, workbooks, ruler, & PEDOMETER)

So sign up today (or the beginning of the next school year) to receive your goodies.

Cheers to healthy living and breakfast! 

XOXO,

Ms. Kimpop
