Did you know that the average student will spend over $500 per term buying textbooks? Seems like an awful lot of money to buy textbooks that often get opened one time, right? Well, with Chegg.com, you will save hundreds!
So stop wasting your money and start renting from Chegg.com.  I’m on the bandwagon and I’ve saved enough to buy all my term papers!  Not really, but I have saved some serious cash by Chegging my books.  I have a promo code that will save you an additional 5% off your total order, useCC110355.
Want proof?
Essential Biology by Campbell, Reece & Simon is $83.18 if you buy it on Amazon.com.  If you rent it on Chegg.com, it’s only $11.78.  That’s a savings of over $71!
It’s so simple, just search for the books you need and place your order.  Chegg will ship them to you fast and at the end of the term you ship them back for free.  What’s really cool is that they plant a tree for every book that you rent.
Don’t forget to visit Chegg.com and use promo code CC110355.

Reflection #6 update
For our arts integration, we taught the students Christmas songs from different countries and had the students act out pages in a book that I read (The Flag We Love). The students loved the songs and the drama, and I think that it will be something that they remember for a very long time! As a matter of fact, most of my students wrote that those things were the things that they liked best about me in the book that they wrote for me. :) Pretty cool, huh! Anyway, if you need more of an elaboration, just let me know!

Reflection #6
My field experience? I LOVED IT! It was absolutely wonderful! I don't know anything else I can say to make my point clear. Today was my last day at my school and, I have to say, I got pretty choked up. Mrs. Ware, our cooperating teacher, and our kids made Kayla and me each a special book called, "What I like Most About Mrs. Bird" and "What I Like Most About Miss Christensen" and they drew us pictures and wrote a sentence or two about what they liked most about us - I LOVED MINE! It was SO cute! :) Mrs. Ware also bought each of us a plate and cup for Santa's cookies and milk. :) I was just so sad I had to leave them! :( I don't know what else you wanted us to write about, but I do love those kids, it's amazing how attached you can get to someone else's child so quickly! I honestly love those children almost as much as I do my own children! I truly am going to miss those kids! Oh, btw- I enjoyed the teaching, too! Some of my kids even told me that I made learning fun and easy for them- SCORE! That was my goal and why I want to be a teacher so bad, I guess I have what it takes to make a difference! :) What was the most surprising thing is that most of the students who said I made learning fun and easy, were my "trouble makers".   :)   I'm glad that I made at least a little bit of a difference. :)  [LOVED THEM!!!  :)   ]
