1. Welcome to the new web-site! I took a bit of a step back (lost all of my followers) to hopefully take some steps forward in this adventure of teacher blogging. I am officially off of blogger and a dot-com. I am hoping that will people will be able to find me and teaching resources to help them in their classrooms. I love the idea of teachers from all over the world sharing and collaborating, and I hope that this is the stepping stone for that to happen. I had an amazing web designer and she helped me link up my own store (still a work in progress) and helped me with all other kinds of plug-ins. It’s still a bit daunting but I am trying to take on the learning curve.
2. Between all of this craziness with the new web-site and school in general, I haven’t had much time to get units together. I really wanted to get a farm unit together. We take a Field Trip to a local farm and we study about apples and pumpkins. The kids have “schema” about farms so it’s a great transition in to teaching them all of the vocabulary and higher order thinking that I want to pull out of them. I try to start with a topic that they are comfortable with. If you click on the picture, it will take you to a post where you can find a giveaway and a freebie 🙂
3. For those of you that don’t know, my husband and I are building a house right now and here is what it looks like. It’s been fun to watch the progress happen each day. I know that once they start to work on the inside it won’t be an instant gratification each day that I drive by so I am taking it in for all it’s worth!
I can’t wait to see the finished product!!!
4. Fall TV is back! I’m glad to see these faces <3
5. I usually leave you with something fun and exciting that I am doing this weekend and I have no plans. I am beyond looking forward to it. Football and couch are in my near future. Just have to make it til the end of school today!
Happy Friday!
How exciting for you guys to be building a new home. I know you will be so glad when you get to move in. I bet you can’t wait. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jamie! Yes…we can’t stop taking “walks” that way 🙂 It’s hard not to when we are so close to it!
It is incredible that you are building your own home!! And I too share your excitement about the fall/autumn tv shows that are back on! Downton Abbey being one of them, a big hit over here in the UK!
It is definitely worth the leap forward getting your own ‘dot.com’ and what a fantastic and professional looking website you have! It will all pay off in the long run!
Best wishes,

I watched Downton Abbey on a long flight and LOVED it! I am going to have to get all of the seasons and watch them. Not sure my hubby will share in my love for it but I am a big fan. Thanks for stopping by!
Your house is looking AWESOME! And sometimes no plans are the very best of all. Enjoy! Enjoy!
Totally agree…can’t wait to plan on doing nothing!
Wow – you had an exciting week, Elizabeth! Your house is coming along so quickly. It was just dirt a few short weeks ago! Can’t wait to see your progress.
Love your new website – very chic! Enjoy your relaxing weekend!

Thanks Molly <3
My class goes to the farm at the end of the year when we are learning about living/non-living. (Really, it’s just an awesome field trip, so we find something to tie it to!) I entered your giveaway! Love it!
Hope you’re enjoying your relaxing weekend!

Look at your house!!!! It’s beautiful and think of all the memories to be made there! My husband had a candlelit picnic for me in our new home when our hardwood floors were finally finished. Restoration Hardware was my new best friend! Enjoy!
