EXTREME Makeover: Center Edition
Ok, I am going to be real quick…the in-laws are headed over for dinner so I have some cleaning to do!! I recently updated my Surfin’ into Summer Literacy Centers from last year.

Tops or Bottoms?
This week we are wrapping up our plant unit. I am pretty sure that my kiddos are going to be way more successful than me when it comes to having a green thumb. Everything I plant….dies. It is a tragedy. I mean you would think after refreshing up on plant needs every year that I would be able to open up a vegetable stand or something, but notsomuch. Anyways, yesterday, my kiddos made these little plant flip craftivities about the needs of … [Read more...]
Bossy Pants!
I am officially school lagged from being back to school this past week. I loved seeing my little kiddos, but getting up while it is still dark outside…notsomuch.
