December 8, 2014 by ·

I am late getting this posted! This is a week that is dedicated to learning and talking about different holidays around the world. My K team does an “around the world” day where each classroom represents a different county. I know there are a lot of other classrooms out there that do the same thing […]

Gingerbread Week

December 6, 2014 by ·

We had a busy busy week with Gingerbread stories. One of my favorite activities to do during our literacy time is to compare the characters and the settings in the story. I keep these charts with me all week and each day we compared the different versions. That is what is so great about these […]

Show Us What You Bought Linky

December 3, 2014 by ·

My spending habit is what my husband might refer to as a “problem”. I just look at it as me doing my part in our economy. It’s just as simple as that. Doing my part. I could probably single handily pull our country out of the deficient we are in with a couple swipes of […]

It actually baffled me that some of the kids did not really grasp this concept. They also started confusing living and non-living with natural and man-made. I […]

Peek at My Week

November 17, 2014 by ·

I have been putting this off all day. I am delusional with the idea of a snow day tomorrow. Do I think it’s going to happen? The practical part inside of me is a no way but there is a little glimpse of my ridiculous side that thinks we might have a chance. Regardless of […]

Punctuation Detectives {Freebie}

November 8, 2014 by ·

Punctuation is such a hard concept for students to understand. It’s not the easiest concept to teach either. I really love Michelle Oakes unit of Punctuation People. The kids are able to connect the punctuation marks to characters and that seems to make it meaningful. We finished the week off by being “Punctuation Detectives”. I […]
