As usual, we were very busy this week! With Earth Day, measuring length, and Thomas Edison we had plenty to keep us busy!! First, I will show you an update on the little earth necklaces I talked about {HERE}. Yesterday we painted them and they will spend the weekend drying. Monday we will just add […]
When Earth Day is around the corner, we hit the ground running with some Earth Day fun! From integrating literature to writing to building things from recycled materials, we are all about talking, thinking, and exploring what it means and looks like to be a better citizen of our Earth! Having an Earth Day writing […]
I know summer will be here before I know it, but I have just felt like I can’t keep with anything lately!! I have been SO tired and feel like I’m going 150mph all the time! Needless to say, the little ‘ole blog has been neglected. I have barely snapped any pictures of what we […]
Okay so *maybe* I made up the word “Fraturday”, but that’s okay, right?! I’m linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching. Last night was our school silent auction and I have just been dead today. My poor house was so neglected the last two weeks so I needed to do some major cleaning this morning. Here […]
This week we are diving into problem solving…again! Boy, oh boy!! We already covered problem solving this year, (read more about that HERE), but it’s not easier the second time around. We are back on the crazy problem solving merry-go-round….at least that’s what it feels like! SERIOUSLY!! The questions that CSCOPE gives as examples are […]
Just popping in really quick to share my week plans! I’m linking up with the fabulous Mrs. Wills. Click the image above to check out other great plans! I can’t get the pdf life to save the links, so each product picture it linked to its source. I’m off to enjoy lunch with family! I hope […]
CSCOPE….GRRRRR! Unfortunately, it’s not near as easy as it used to be to integrate social studies topics anymore. We just finished learning about specialized jobs. We did have some fun with it, even though we did barely any integration! We watched some FUN videos about factories and each jobs! Remember Mrs. Rogers?? One of my […]
I’m linking up with the fabulous Mrs. Wills to share a peek at my short upcoming week! YAY for short weeks! I can’t wait to show you more of my Writing All About Books writing unit! It has been a work in progress with trial and error for sure! I also finished putting together the […]
This week was seriously the longest…………..week…………..EVER! With hour long meetings 3 days after school and morning duty the week back from spring break, I just felt like I was swimming all week. My kids were chatty Cathy’s ALL week long!! It was crazy! Despite this craziness, we were super busy this week! We focused on […]
I’m linking up again with Doodle Bugs Teaching to share five random things about my week! It has been spring break for me and I have not gone ANYWHERE! It has been so wonderful! For Christmas and Thanksgiving break I traveled and it has been so nice and relaxing to stay home!! Except for the […]
Figure or shape? For so long we have called them 3D shapes. My principal met with us last week after hearing a lady from TEA share this story: I observed a teacher teach a great interactive lesson about 3D shapes. It was very hands-on, the students were very engaged, and they had a solid understanding. […]
It’s all a little strange for us as far as what we teach and when we teach it. We have CSCOPE that we have to follow. {If you want to know what that’s all about, just type CSCOPE into google. Read about all of the craziness!} We also have a state textbook adoption, too. Then, […]
Last week we focused on cause and effect. We read some fun books as we did this. Before you check it out let me just say this….I know, I know, the books don’t flow. But there was no “theme” that was good for teaching cause and effect. I just picked literature that had easy to […]
Thanks so much for entering! Here are the winners! #1 Smart Cookie #2 Science Foldables Part 4 I will email you gals tomorrow! 🙂 It’s bedtime!
I think they call it “problem solving” within the math realm for a reason! Ya’ll, this is TOUGH for my kids! Maybe it’s the just the way the problems are worded and how they have to secretly solve for “x”….(HELLO ALGEBRA IN FIRST GRADE!!!), but it is just plain hard. After teaching it for 3 […]
I LOVE short weeks at school, but this week was just SUPER crammed with meetings, deadlines, and evening activities! Here is a peek at my week. I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday. Be sure to go see what others were up to this week! I always get great ideas […]
