Monday was President’s Day and some of you lucky ducks got the day off! We were at school plugging away, since we are, you know, dedicated like that. I thought this would be a good week to share this cute printable to help with learning the U.S. Presidents in order. We’ve been learning them for…
One of the best projects I did for my classroom this summer was setting up an ORGANIZED classroom library! It was SO simple and has made it SO easy for the kids to be responsible for keeping it organized! I got the inspiration for my labels from the amazing Ladybug Teacher Files! I already shared…
I am officially on Thanksgiving BREAK! Wahoo! Yesterday was a day of Turkey Day Fun in my classroom. We didn’t do one itty bitty bit of real work. Shhh. Don’t all teachers know that the day before a break is pretty much a lost day? A day where we are LUCKY to escape without a…
We are so blessed to have some awesome technology at my school. But it just ain’t easy to squeeze one more thing into our curriculum and into our day. I just got my projector installed about 2 weeks ago, and I’m loving it! It does take planning, as well, to come up with things to…
One of the things we’ve enjoyed most about heading “back to school” is all the extras available for Haylee to participate in. She is a social girl, for sure, and we just didn’t get to do much of the fun social stuff while we were homeschooling. Now she gets Art Class, Computer Class, Library Time,…
I love thrifting. There is something SO fun about finding great treasures for SUPER cheap! I am not usually good about redos, since I have great intentions and ideas, but don’t usually deliver with the follow through. :) I found this very cute little desk at my favorite thrift store for $15! It seemed to…
Regrouping is one of those toughies. And if you’re my age or older than let me fill you in. I’m talking bout borrowing and carrying. Don’t you know all the cool peeps are calling it regrouping now?! :) I found this super cute freebie for subtraction regrouping from Fun in Room 4B that I thought would be…
I just love Pinterest. Seriously. It’s hard to imagine how we SURVIVED without it. It has been such a source of inspiration for me with so many great ideas for my classroom… not to mention my kitchen, my wardrobe, and my house! I ran across a pin showing birthday certificates all filed away in plastic…
I have once again been inspired by Pinterest. I am pinterest obsessed in case you hadn’t noticed. I love the idea of Math Journaling and Notebooking. There is something to be said for recording what you’ve learned in your own words to be referenced later. What a great study tool that could be! This summer I saw…
Making an iPad Bulletin Board was part of my plan from W-A-Y back. With our school’s brand new set of iPads, I thought it would be a great way to get students excited and talking about our new technology. I had planned to just make it out of black bulletin board paper like I made…
