Leaves Leaves

October 10, 2013 by Elizabeth Hall ·

I think I have finally recovered from the weekend… I didn’t take a nap today during lunch so I think that means my body is coming back to life. I am working on a Fall unit right now…which (let’s be honest) probably won’t be done til Christmas. I thought I would share this activity now […]

Peek at My {Crazy} Week

September 29, 2013 by Elizabeth Hall ·

Why does it all happen at once!? Picture day, parent teacher conferences, evaluations (going to hold off on that one), data meetings, report cards…and everything else in between. Breath.

Wednesday Word Problems Updated

September 28, 2013 by Elizabeth Hall ·

One of the most important things I do in my classroom is Wednesday Word Problems. The students have a love/hate relationship with these. They love them because if they get the answer correct and can show me HOW they got their answer, then they get an entire Smartie (And no they don’t get one if […]
