One Extra Degree: A Year in Pictures {Linky Party}

Runde’s Room is having a linky party, and we’re all invited.  This was a totally welcome break from lesson planning, but I had a really difficult time narrowing down over 1,000 photos from my blog.  No, that’s not an exaggeration.  I seriously took a TON of photos in 2011… mostly before I switched school districts and moved into a new home.  My Canon’s charger was MIA for a while, but I should be back in business once I go back to school on Tuesday!  Anyway, I’ll fast-forward past my life story to say this: Make a little collage (or multiple collages if you are indecisive like me), and link up! Happy 2012!

P.S. The 12th person to comment on this post will receive 12 files of YOUR CHOICE from my TpT store to ring in the new year!  I will moderate the comments tomorrow, so make sure to leave your email addresses or a way to contact you if you win!

P.P.S.  I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who takes the time to read my blog.  When I started this a little over a year ago, I had no idea how much fun I would have opening the doors to my classroom.  I have built so many great friendships with so many  ROCKSTAR teachers, and I have learned so much from all of you!  I have been inspired by SO many of you, and you have made me a better teacher!  I can’t wait to see where this year takes us!

    Thank you for sharing all of your pictures, Amanda!! Even without explanation, I gain so much inspiration from looking at your snapshots! I am so happy that I have recently found this community of bloggers because it has pushed me to become a better teacher. I'm even toying with the idea of creating my own blog so that I may some day inspire others. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    Holy Moly! That's a TON of awesomeness all in one spot!
    If I didn't have to go back to work tomorrow I would try to make something half as cool. But I guess I better make some lunches and do some laundry!
    ugh!
    Adore You!

    Hi Amanda!
    What a wonderful collage of photos. It is such a DIVERSE collection–showcasing that you do so many things so well!
    This makes me want to go and find the posts to match some of these; you have shared so much and I don't want to miss anything!

    Happy New Year!

    Great year in pictures!!! Loved looking at all of them. I don't know how I haven't come across your blog before . . . I feel like I have been living under a rock. Anyways, I'm your newest follower and can't wait to look through your archives!

    I loved the Christmas ball craft! We made them and my kids gave them to their parents as gift. Cute idea. I'm a first grade newbie. I have been following many of the blogs in the giveaway for the last three months and I continue to discover even more of your blogs each day…2 more before I saw your giveaway. I have become obsessed. I would love to win this giveaway. It would help me so much as I venture more into teaching first graders. Thanks to all of you for creating and sharing your ideas and for re-energizing me. My kids love it and get excited each week as they get new things to play and create!
