It has been yet another busy week at our house! I realized this morning that I didn’t snap many pictures of what we did in the classroom. Our wonderful teammate who plans science went to a great workshop this summer about journaling in Science. All of what we do pretty much can be put into […]
It was a super busy weekend, but I finally finished up my Comparing Numbers to 30 unit. I used several pieces of this to introduce 10 frames and teach place value and number comparisons a couple of weeks ago. I also added math station games that I hope to introduce soon and use for […]
Each week that goes by I stop and say, “Man, this week is so much better than the last!” After 4 weeks my sweet friends are becoming more familiar with our “guidelines for success” and procedures. It’s nice. They are learning that I mean business!, but they are also no afraid to get out of […]
I don’t know what my deal is but I just haven’t made it bed before 11 p.m. every night this week! It’s just crazy! The wonderful thing is that I haven’t been tired while at work. I’m sure it will hit me some time soon. This week has been really busy. I just feel like […]
We are working on timelines this week in social studies. Distant past, past, and present are our vocabulary words to be exact. Today we made a timeline. You know those moments when the kids are already working on something and then you say to yourself, “Man! This would go faster if they had _______.” Well, […]
Hey all! I feel like I have neglected my little ‘ole blog with all of the craziness lately! I have been busy not only at school but at home, too. Aggie football, church, friends, etc. All great things that bring joy to my life, but sometimes they just make life crazy busy! Here is some […]
WOW! I don’t know about you all, but I am just feeling beat after our first week back. I have been super busy with 23 little ones! That’s right, 23!! 23 little voices to control, 46 little hands to be kept to themselves, 46 feet to walk in the hallway and our little classroom, and […]
I have a fabulous teacher friend who I have learned SO much from! She created this wonderful freebie and wanted me to share it with you all. I tweaked it a little and am sharing it! How kind of her to want to be a “ghost writer!” 🙂 You can use it for a Word Work […]
Link up and check other wonderful classrooms!
I’m linking up today with Blog Hoppin’ again! I am really excited about today because I enjoy technology. Here are a few Tech Tips that I want to share with you. 1. iPods for my classroom are WONDERFUL! This is how I store mine. Each notecard box has an iTouch and then each child’s headphones […]
Today I’m linking up with Blog Hoppin’ for Teacher Week! When I was thinking about my “must haves”, I was having a difficult time doing only school things. That’s only part of my life. I finally broke it down to these 3 categories: in the classroom, as a teacher, at home. Must Haves: In the […]
My birthday is this weekend and I am excited and thankful for another year of life! I wanted to throw a little sale in my TpT store to celebrate! The sale is Saturday-Sunday at midnight. Hop over and see if there is something for your little ones as you prepare for your first week of […]
One thing I know can be difficult and tedious is tracking and monitoring sight words in first grade. From teaching the words and practicing to remembering to assess students and record data, it can be more than overwhelming. I remember in my early years of teaching struggling to assess each and every student on 1000 […]
I was asked to include second grade in the G.O. Book Cover. It was easy peasy and I’m happy to help! Here you go!
I have been back in my classroom over the last week. I have only had about 3 or 4 hours a day, but I figured it’s better than no time at all. I truly feel for those who can’t get into their classrooms yet! We couldn’t get in until 3 days before meet the teacher […]
I really liked Fabulous in First’s G.O. Book that she shared last year! It was my first year to use a binder for everything. Reading log, take home papers, behavior log, parent communication, homework, etc. It was wonderful! I organize mine a little differently than she does hers, but she was totally my inspiration! This […]
WHEW! That was a long title! Friends, I have been working on this for about a month now. I am SO EXCITED TO SHOW YOU!! I believe whole heartedly in guided reading. I know, I know…it’s old school now. The *new* thing is to conference with your kiddos and pull a small group if needed. […]
