Peek at My Week & Giveaway!

It’s an Easter miracle! I finished my unit that I was wanting to use this week for Fractured Fairy Tales! I don’t know why but BOTH of my fairy tale units took me foreverrrrr. Nothing like last minute since this week is all fractured fairy tales. Obviously, there are more fractured fairy tales than I […]

Book Study: Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites: Chapter 8

I’m not going to lie…I kind of wanted to skip this chapter. This is NOT my strong point when it comes to teacher. As I was reading this, I was thinking, “Do I even do this strategy?!?”. Then, I started reading the instructional activities and the very first strategy is a lesson that I do […]

April BUILD {Pin it to Win It}

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 […]
