Thanks for your nice comments! I'm glad you've been able to use some of my ideas in your classroom. You asked how I find the time to do it all. Lately, the answer would be "very little sleep." However, I am usually better at balancing it all. You can read the following post to learn more about how I try to balance motherhood and teaching: http://blogs.scholastic.com/top_teaching/2010/03/balancing-parenthood-teaching.html
You also asked about the Polar Express train ticket on my classroom website. See comment #8 for an answer to that question.
