How Cute Is This
I am doing a training at the end of this week and I am worried that the teachers attending will hate me because they are back at work and reality has hit after 2 weeks off. So here is my bribe. Yup, you guessed it- candy. My partner is addicted to m&m's so we cannot have them in the room. She adores them so after Gingerbread Activity Day and the 100th Day I have to sweep the room because she cannot handle the temptation. How cute is this for an ice breaker? Okay, never mind but at least I stuck 2 little bags in there so they will listen to me for umm, 5 minutes. I thought the questions would give me a chance to get to know them. Here is the download if you would like it. How would you answer these questions?
1. favorite movie: I Am Sam (I cried my eyes out but loved it
and I am a total Beatles fanatic.
2. favorite food: pizza and you can see it on my hips but
I also adore a good bagel
3.favorite children's book: Knuffle Bunny Free and Pete the
Cat but I have millions of favorites
Charlotte's Web still upsets me
4. favorite teacher supply: post-it notes in beautiful colors
and Avery labels, smelly markers,
tabs, blah, blah, I love it all!
5. favorite grade: Kindergarten silly, best grade ever... hands
down (do not argue with your elders)nothin'
like a 5 year old without a filter!
6. favorite piece of technology: My ipad 2 is my new BFF
Now I can eat my candy. Life is good.
What about you?

Well, Fran, I double checked my math but looks like those other three bloggers won the giveaway. Next time, I'll rig it.
And, seriously, everyone will be listening to you because you are engaging and infectious and a riot. A RIOT. :) I could have sat across from you at Ruby's ALL DAY. The candy will just be a bonus for them.

I love this idea, Fran. This would be a great virtual linky party. We would all have to buy a bag of m & ms to participate. :)
I'm not sure how I would answer my favorite piece of technology....is that in or out of the classroom?
Hope the workshop goes well. :)

What a cute idea!
Good luck on your presentation...I know it will be great!
I should leave you guys the download so you can bribe anyone in your life that you need to. M&m's at 8:00 is pushing it but hey I'll bring Starbucks too. A girl has to do what it takes to be popular!
that is such a great idea! I love your thoughtfulness. I was so jealous and then sad not to be able to meet you at rubys!
Super cute idea!
Fran,
I would LOVE the download. I am speaking next Monday and need a good bribe. Please email it to me: Nangel1023@yahoo.com.
Thanks!!!!!
Really cute idea! Pinning this bad boy! I HATE training, but I don't mind it when someone has put actual thought and heart into it. I think everyone will love it!

I am going to pin this idea, make a new board and call it ice breakers. You are BRILLIANT! Ice breakers are so hard!
Seriously...I watching I am Sam for the 15th million time the other day. It was on tv and even though I know what happens.....it still gets me. I boohooed! Love it! :) I'm with Kristin, you'll do great and the candy is an added bonus!
