February 14, 2016 by ·

Do you journal with your kids during math time? I have always felt strongly about doing math journals with my kids. I just haven’t been able to find a way that works for me and for my kids. I have used composition books where the kids glue down the prompts and I felt like that […]

Five for Friday

February 5, 2016 by ·

Happy Friday to you!   1. I had to take little miss to get her first round of shots this week. Oh my word…new mamas….prepare yourself. If I hadn’t been doing Whole30 I probably would have gone to get ice cream and wine. Funny enough both are in the same building as my pediatrician. I’m so […]

Snow Day Activities

January 26, 2016 by ·

This year, the snow didn’t make or break my week since I’m on maternity leave. However, I was still glued to the TV and my phone waiting to hear about the school closings. I was just excited for everyone else! I know some of you, especially my east coast friends, are sick of the snow. […]

Jan Brett Activities

January 18, 2016 by ·

I love this time of year because that means it’s time to whip out the Jan Brett books. I love reading her books and really digging in to the author study this time of year. She has some great draw along videos that the kids always love doing. I am also kind of obsessed with […]

I am embarrassed to even put the old cover up…but you have to see how bad it was to appreciate the new one! This unit really has nothing to do with Star Wars. When I first started making products for TpT, I had a group of boys that was OBSESSED with Star Wars and less […]
