Clean Out Your Fridge Day

November 14 is National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day. Check the nooks and crannies of your fridge - waaaaaaay in the back. Is anything growing there that shouldn't be? How about a container of left over grapes or apple slices that have shriveled past the point of recognition? Find the grossest thing you can and post it in the comments below - then throw it out already!

Once you've got the fridge cleaned out, remember Saturday happens to be National Pack Your Mom Lunch Day. Give her a nice surprise by fixing her up a sandwich for her lunch on Monday morning. She'll appreciate it!

Here's a good article on how to best organize your fridge. Read it here.

Book Lists for Families

Here is a good, comprehensive site where families can find books for all ages and reading levels. It's a site I use frequently to help me decide what books to recommend to students and what books to choose as class read alouds. Check it out here:
