We Will Never Forget... It's true. Forever and always we believe most of us will wake up on this day remembering exactly where we were. What we were doing. Who we were with. It is a day we saw horrific tragedy no matter how close or far we were, but from it came incredible strength and courage and triumph. Each year that passes, we realize our little friends were less a twinkle in their parents eyes than the year before, yet it is something we must discuss. It has become history to them, but ...

We Will Never Forget…America, the Beautiful Freebie
Visual Reminders That Work
We are firm believers in structuring our classroom for success. We spend a lot of time establishing procedures and then giving them visual, auditory and verbal reminders to get us through each day. Here are a few visual (posters), to go along with a few auditory and verbal (chants) reminders that have been working wonders in our classroom this year... One of our absolute hugest pet peeves is the "No Namer Paper"{shudder}. It's just so simple...WRITE YOUR NAME ON YOUR PAPER! So, we use this chant ... VIEW POST
September Stinks…
There, We Said It! Somebody Had to… Teachers everywhere are already tired. Parents everywhere are already tired. Students everywhere are already tired. It's been 1 month since we started school...ONE month. But, we’re still going. We don’t give up. We don’t give in. We never, ever sit down. For if we do, we will crash or get sick...or both. September as a teacher... It’s like waking up one day and running a month long marathon. It’s like getting engaged, planning a ... VIEW POST
Habitats of the World Bundle…Plus, A Habitat Book Cover Freebie
We celebrated the 100th Day of School last Friday. In our teacher minds this really means only 1 thing... Only 80 days until summer!!! to teach our largest science study of the school year! This has slowly become our favorite part of the school year, but the idea of teaching 5 habitats was definitely enough to make us feel seasick a few years ago when our District moved this curriculum to first grade. But, not anymore! We've got our passports ready and our itineraries set. Our class is ... VIEW POST
5 for Friday!
It's 5 for Friday Time! That needs a theme song, we think. We're finding it one of our favorite days of the week, actually. Yep, totally love Friday. Here's a glimpse at our 5. People.it.is.freaking.March...That is all. No, that's not really all. That would be a total waste of number one. Okay, it is March!!! Which means we're getting our March Sharing Pages prepped and ready. The kids feel like old pros by now, and are nearly running our Sharing Page time themselves. They are even ... VIEW POST
Homework Folders…They’re Not Just For Home Anymore
We've been scouring the stores. We're stocking up people. 2 Pocket Folders are our mission. With Prongs. Without Prongs. However many we can grab before hitting our limit. Throwing cash at our children, asking them to please help Mommy by purchasing their limit too. It is not child labor, we assure you... It's summer math practice. You know, counting money and such. Even the cashier complimented us on how "educational" we were. We blushed. Pish...Score! But, before we used our children as ... VIEW POST
