Peek at My Week {Fairy Tales}

March 22, 2015 by ·

I have to admit, I am SO ready to be back at school with my kiddos. I think being out SO much with weather related issues this year, I’m just ready for a normal week with my kiddos! Spring Break is great and all, but this year is coming to an end faster than I […]

Five for Friday

March 20, 2015 by ·

I can’t believe it’s already Friday and that means that last day of my Spring Break! WAHHHH!!! I have done a whole lot of nothing this week and it has been dreamy. Spring Break just goes a little too fast for me. 1. It started all nice and warm last weekend and we finally got […]

April BUILD {Pin it to Win It}

March 19, 2015 by ·

Hey guys! I have been somewhat productive this Spring Break…between going to movies, sleeping in, catching up with friends…etc. April BUILD is ready to go a little early this month! “What is BUILD?” you say. BUILD isn’t a curriculum but a way to manage your math stations. I did a post all about it if […]

Book Study: Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites: Chapter 4

March 10, 2015 by ·

I think that we all know that this is something that is so important in the lower grades. I do think that art of play is lost as the demands in the classroom become more of a focal point. I love the quote, “Using game formats encourages students to cooperate with one another, helps them […]

Book Study: Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites: Chapters 3

March 7, 2015 by ·

The first sentence of this chapter made me give a little “WHOOP WHOOP!” out loud. “The purpose of the brain is not to make good grades or to score high on standardized tests.” I feel like Kelly is echoing my sentiments 🙂 I love the field trips we take during the year! We are very […]

Five for Friday

March 6, 2015 by ·

Welp. We may or may not have a full week of school by the time Spring Break rolls around. 1. We made it almost a full week without the white stuff. Almost. 2. I was a little bit productive during my snow day. I created an oral presentation unit for first grade. These have been […]
