Five for Friday

January 8, 2016 by ·

Miracles really do happen. I actually got up early enough without a screaming little one to blog! Woohoo! People tell you that your life is going to change but they never tell you that your coffee will live in the microwave from the day before with constant beeping or that taking a shower will become […]

Peek at My Week {Thanksgiving}

November 15, 2015 by ·

Boohoo…I was hoping not to have a peek at my week this week but more like a “Hey, peek at my baby!” kind of week. This is where I’m at right now. How is it being almost 40 weeks pregnant teaching Kindergarten? It’s an adventure 🙂 So maybe this week while we are talking about […]

November 11, 2015 by ·

Peek at My Week…Punctuation & Subtraction

November 2, 2015 by ·

I know, I know….it’s too early for subtraction. I feel the exact same as you. However, this year we are following “Go Math” and that’s the next chapter so I’m just going to go with it. I don’t feel like my kids are 100% ready but I also don’t ever really feel like they are […]

8 Key Comprehension Strategies {Freebie}

October 28, 2015 by ·

For the past few weeks, at our school, we have been talking about comprehension strategies and thinking about what we do and what we can continue to do to strengthen our kids comprehension throughout all of the grade levels. Our reading coach had a great visual (that I fixed up a little…) that we can […]
