Peek at My Week {Community Helpers}

It’s the week of “boom…everything happens in a week”. Picture day, fire truck visit, first observation, vowel surgery…you name it. It’s happening in my room this week. It’s going to controlled chaos at best. Which, I’m fine with…really. Here are my plans. I’m not sure if there was any point to trying to make them […]

Peek at My Week {Farm}

It’s really take all of the self control that I have not to just start on apples, pumpkins, Halloween…all things FALL….this week. I am having to restrain myself. I have a new stack of books from Scholastic that are burning a hole in my shelf in the cubby room. But farm is good. I can […]

Keyboarding for Kindergarten {Giveaway}

We are on struggle street at the moment with typing. I know there are many of you that are feeling the same way as me. I had someone even mention in a comment that they had a kid trying to tap the screen. While I love iPads as much as the next tech lover…I don’t […]

I am even more excited because my student […]

It’s All in The Family {Giveaway & New Unit}

Family is one of the bigger topics that we cover at the beginning of the year. We start talking about “Me” and then try to move the attention away from “Me” to family because it is a topic that students feel like they know. The first oral presentation I have my students give is about […]

Erin Condren Teacher Planner

Have I told you lately how much I love my new Erin Condren Teacher Planner? The box on the front porch when I got home from school last week felt a little bit like Christmas. It comes in the fanciest shipping box I have ever seen. I almost didn’t even want to open the box […]
