February Goodies Giveaway

February 3, 2015 by ·

Hey y’all! It has been a rough few days in my world. Darn that flu. It has hit me and taken me straight down. I have been couch ridden and binge watching Downton Abbey. If I don’t go back to school tomorrow I’m going to put on a prom dress, start serving tea and having […]

Punctuation Police

January 29, 2015 by ·

I have had this idea swirling in my head since the beginning of the year that I was going to turn my classroom in to a crime scene where students have to be “punctuation police”. Kim Bearden does grammar police at RCA and when I went back last week, I just knew that I was […]

Peek at My Week

January 25, 2015 by ·

My heart is so incredibly full after this weekend visiting Ron Clark Academy. I promise that I’m going to fill you in on my amazing weekend but I am still in such a mesmerized state that I’m not sure I could do it justice this afternoon. I also went to bed after midnight the past […]

States of Matter for Little Learners {with a freebie}

January 15, 2015 by ·

I never do science related posts so I’m going out on a limb here and acting like I know what I’m doing when it comes to science. I’m exaggerating…but really….I don’t consider it my strength.

January 11, 2015 by ·

It’s that time again! No snow for us this week. There was one tiny little flake there last week but it has vanished. We are in for a full week of snowmen and matter. Here is my bookshelf for the week. Someone asked me if I let me kids take the books off the shelf […]
