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...]
Catching Up!
Geez Louise have I been a slacker or what?!?! Between physical therapy for angel baby, homework, gymnastics, life, being a mom, working full time, being a mom, cleaning the house….have I mentioned being a mom, sometimes blogging gets pushed back! Thankfully I have a Superman of a husband that helps out all the time! But for me, being a mom is my top priority! So, sometimes I spend my nights cuddled up on the couch with my angel baby or playing … [Read more...]
Five for Friday!
I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for some Five for Friday fun! 1. Today we worked on synonyms. I LOVED the turkeys Cara from The First Parade posted last year, so I knew I had to tie them in to something this month! Synonyms it is! I added a pilgrim hat to the top for the students to write their word on. After making a list of different synonyms for each word, they wrote their synonyms on the feathers! Don't Be A Turkey! … [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...]

Last year we started off with this, but this year, I wanted to change it up a bit. I don’t … [Read more...]
First Week Recap
It seems like every year I forget how much energy I use during the first week back. You can bet Sonic got my business every single afternoon! There’s just nothing better than a Dr. Pepper right after school! Our internet is finally back up and running! Thank goodness! When you live out in the country….the internet is few and far between! To recap our first week, we read lots of back to school books and talked a LOT about 3 star coloring, … [Read more...]
Back to School Giveaway [Part 1]
Can you believe summer is almost over? Where does the time go? I have 2 weeks before we head back. I am anxious to get back in the room and meet my new kiddos! I love the smell of fresh new supplies, the feeling of a clean and crisp folder, and the sound of all those summer stories being shared! Don’t get me wrong – I am still savoring every precious moment that I have left staying in my jammies until dinner time and snuggling with my babies. … [Read more...]

I don’t know about y’all, but every year I say I am going to be more organized! I find all these fabulous organizational ideas and get super excited to start organizing, and then, school starts! All those things I wanted to organize quickly get thrown in a pile somewhere, and well, I’m sure you know what I am talking about! I decided to start things off simple this year and organize all my binders first. Nothing fancy, just simple and … [Read more...]
