I survived. Today was the first day back at work in 2011 and I survived. What surprised me most was that each of the classes I taught today had a significant amount of absentees. It's probably due to the fact that some kids are still on vacation or their parents had the day off. Or they're probably sick. In any case, it made the day fly by having low and more easily manageable numbers in the classes. I have a tonne of things I'd like to prepare for a fresh week back at school but I will take a few minutes to announce the winner of the Dr. Oetker gift basket giveaway. Out of 264 entries, here is the winning number:

Congratulations! I will be emailing you soon. I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this giveaway and would like you to know that I have a couple of giveaways lined up for you in the coming weeks. There are some exciting things brewing for Toronto Teacher Mom and I can't wait to share them with you. If it weren't for you, my readers, this blog would not be possible. Thanks again! And also, I'd like to say thanks to Dr. Oetker for sponsoring this giveaway!

Happy Tuesday!
