According to aboutapple.com, the tradition of giving an apple to the teacher is one native to the United States, Denmark and Sweden. Some think the practice originated as a simple gift of food for poorly paid teachers (haha!). Others believe the good health associated with apples made the present particularly meaningful. Whatever the meaning, I received an especially nice apple at the end of this, my first week of student teaching.

That's right ladies and gentlemen- I am writing to you via my new MacBook! It arrived in the mail today, and I could not be more excited about it!! So it's not exactly a gift from a student but a very needed gift from yourself can never hurt, right?!
So now that I have the means to email, Facebook and blog more frequently, I intend to catch you up on what's been going on.
