Okay… I am well aware that it is January 31st. Happy (almost) February! Are you excited about this month? I tend to really dislike February… it’s too cold, dreary, and not too exciting. Sure, there is Valentine’s Day, but that’s about it! One word to describe how I feel about February: blah. Something I do […]
Math manipulatives. Great for hands-on learning, but a pain to store. Here are some ways that I cut down on bulk and clutter in my room to store math manipulatives! I inherited this baby from a fellow teacher. You can buy your own Sterolite container like this at Walmart for about $20-30. I LOVE how […]
Hi, all! How is your Friday? I am blogging to you from Los Angeles, just arrived a few hours ago! I’m hanging at the hotel bar drinking a peach basil Moscow Mule and eating some Mexican corn until my boyfriend gets back from work and we can celebrate the town 🙂 Wooooo new, beautiful location! […]
Hi friends!I am excited, I am flying out to Los Angeles tomorrow! My boyfriend took a business trip out there, and I am so lucky to get to visit him. It will be 80 degrees on Saturday… AHHH! Not trying to say that I am not enjoying this cold, icky weather here… totally am. NOT. […]
My boyfriend bought me a ridiculous calendar for my classroom… Yoga Kittens 2015. It consists of kittens doing poses like downward dog, mountain pose, and lotus. The pictures are hilarious. Speaking of cats (and who wouldn’t want to speak about cats?), are you following Cash Cats on Instagram? If you’re not, you need to start. […]
Happy MLK Day! What are you doing with your day off? I wanted to share with you a resource that I created during my student teaching three years ago but still use yearly in my classroom math stations….Figure Frenzy! If you’re interested, here is the TPT link. So this game greatly evolved since I created […]
Hi, all! Hope you’re having a happy, fun, and relaxing weekend! Do you do word study at your school? My third-grade teams alternates it with morphology every week and the Interactive Vocabulary Notebook that I created. My team changed the format of word study this year. We used to change classrooms for each of our […]
WOOHOO, SNOW DAY! Although when I looked out my window this morning… there was literally no snow. It’s a huge county, perhaps another area in the county got snow?? It is rather foggy out. So I will just pretend it’s a fog day. Look at the picture out my window, you can barely even see […]
Firstly…. I AM IN LOVE WITH MY NEW BLOG DESIGN! Pink and green… I am ecstatic. What do you think? It is one million times better than that eyesore I had before. Yay!!!! There’s also an ultra handy index at top. “My Subjects” is especially wonderful because I break down all posts by subject. You […]
Hi all, and happy Sunday! Did you have a good weekend? Mine was busy but fun. Yesterday I spent time with my boyfriend’s friends at a winery (a winery which served lasagna… isn’t that strange? I have never been to a winery with lasagna before), attended a work party, watched the Panthers vs. Seahawks game […]
That picture above is hideous and makes my beautiful classroom looks ugly… but it gets the point across about these storage ottomans that I absolutely love! I love these ottomans, and I want you to love them too. Did you catch the movie reference?!? Brian’s Song?? That movie makes me cry… not sure if people […]
Have you heard of BUILD? I started doing this structure this year for my stations and have been very happy with it. I have seen many blog posts for BUILD, and everyone does it a little differently. I have seen BUILD used as a Daily 5 setup (with kids choosing which math station they want […]
Want some fraction za? Does anyone call it za still? I never heard that term until college when an ex-boyfriend refused to call it anything but. I adored this activity today, and so did the kids. Since we do two years of math in our gifted third-grade classroom, our math unfortunately steers away from being […]
I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday. Thank you for hosting, Kacey! School starts… tomorrow?!?!?!?!??!?! I have a range of feelings and emotions over this…. most of those feelings being sadness over doing errands, cooking, and working on yoga poses all day. Oh well. Gotta be making those dolla dolla billzzzz somehow […]
Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a fun-filled and relaxing break. I am BUMMED that tomorrow I head back to school and work. I absolutely love my job and my kids, but thinking about not wandering around the house all day while running errands and gym-ming it up is not so pleasant. I […]
