If you read my post early this week then you know we have been all about numbers for a while now. Today, we wrapped up place value with creating these Christmas/Holiday pictures by using the place value pieces from my Know Your Numbers Pack. The kids also had to identify the value of their picture and write the expanded form. I only had 2 rules! 1. The value cannot be greater than 99. 2. It has to be a holiday picture. Because we are always … [Read more...]

All about them blends!
We have been all about them blends, bout them blends, bout them blends! And the kids are having "no trouble" with them...{see what I did there?!?!} We have worked non-stop finding the blends in words, matching them to pictures, writing blends, and just about anything that deals with blends....we have done it! We sorted words that have final blends - and words that do not. We also created a Feast of Blends with … [Read more...]
Balancing Numbers
Hi friends! It's been forever! Life is crazy busy 'round here! Today we worked with balancing numbers! Oh boy! Such a tricky little concept. We started off thinking about different ways to make numbers and created a list for numbers 0 - 10. I had students choose an equation from the board. We put the number on our mini math balance and then looked at another equation that would equal out our balance. The kids LOVED … [Read more...]
Time!
Math was all about time this week. Our district follows TRS (old C-Scope) for math so we only worked with time to the hour this week. We will work with time to the half hour later on in the year. We started off very basic – relating a clock to a number line. I used index cards and string to create a very simple number line to 12. We talked about how a clock is indeed a number line – just in a circle. We hung it up on the board, I would … [Read more...]
Sequencing and Adjectives with Apples!
I am always looking for ways to bring in some cute crafts that focus on our weekly skills. Last week in reading we learned about sequencing. Since we use a basal in our district, we read the basal story to introduce our skill for the week and take a comprehension test on Wednesdays. That gives us Thursday and Friday to bring in other books for that skill and any cute crafts! On Thursday we made applesauce! We talked about how we were making it, … [Read more...]
Main Idea
Tomorrow is Friday my friends! This has only been my second week back in the classroom {last week we were in Houston for our angel baby’s surgeries}, and I am in need of a 2 day nap like non other! I need some serious sleep y’all. Like for real. This week we have been learning all about main idea, what it means, how to find it, and all that good stuff. Last year we started off with this, but this year, I wanted to change it up a bit. I don’t … [Read more...]
Math-letes, Poetry and David Shannon!
We celebrated all that we have learned in Math this year with a MATH-LETE Day today! It was loads of fun and super busy! We played games and did a few crafts. Needless to say, I am pooped! We started off by making our Mathlete hats and writing what our favorite thing about math is! I had lots of my kiddos pick basketballs for their hats, but footballs and baseballs were huge hits too! You can download the hat template for free {here}. … [Read more...]
Fairy Tales!
This is our first week without our basal this year, so we are living it up with all things fun and fancy! We have been reviewing quite a bit of our reading strategies through our fairy tale unit. We read Goldilocks and the Three Bears by James Marshall. The kiddos always giggle with this book! It is just too fun. After reading, the kiddos summarized the story on index cards. While I was out yesterday for doctor’s appointments on our … [Read more...]

Already over?! Plus a GIVEAWAY!!!!
Is the break already over?!? I have enjoyed every moment of being all things lazy and devouring all things sugary! I think my Dr. just about had a heart attack when they weighed me at my prenatal check up! I couldn’t help but giggle and smile at all the excessive pounds I have gained over the past 2 weeks. Everything I ate was TOTALLY worth it!! I could really use one more week to continue my bad habits! Aside from being lazy, I did manage to … [Read more...]
