It’s Tuesday but feels like Monday!

The seats made it to the classroom! My art table looks SO much better (minus the mess on top of the table :-/ I also put them around my stamp/literacy station tables and my reading table. We waste a lot of time during reading groups finding chairs around the room and kids complaining they don’t […]

Jan Brett!

I’m finally done! This was by far my longest and most extensive unit I have made yet! It’s probably because this is my most favorite author/illustrator. I LOVE Jan Brett. I try to get my kids to enter the contest every year so she will come to our school library. One year, we got a […]

Feeling so Pinteresting today….

Ok, so I did not get this idea from Pinterest, but one of my amazing team-mates. She is like a walking Pinterest board and she made similar seats for her classroom. This is one of those projects you think you want to do at the beginning of the year and you don’t get around to […]

Techy Teacher Tuesday!

Katie, over at The First Grade Jungle is having a techy linky party! She is so lucky because each student in her classroom has an iPad…let’s just say I was a bit jealous looking through her photos of her students using them!  This is right up my ally! I am a huge advocate of technology […]

Back At It!

Well, no snow!  However, we have a very icy playground and a lot of kiddos slipping and sliding all over the place. We read The Snowy Day today. While it’s a fave, I wish I was Peter today! 🙂 Like I have said before, I have a group of incredibly high readers. It is so […]
