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...]

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. Y’all, this file was so hard to look at while I was revising it! Terrible, blah, yucky, boring, and no directions! The old file was SO deserving of a 3.7 rating!! Seriously?? What was I thinking when I first started selling stuff on TPT?! Anywho, I have revised … [Read more...]
