The Teachers Pay Teachers Conference in Las Vegas was beyond supercharged! Wow...just wow... We're sort of rested, but pretty much have been living off adrenaline for the past few days. We're not going to lie though... We think we're experiencing something we made up called Presentation Postpartum... And, this was not in the presenter agreement we signed... We are so sad it's over. We want a redo!! We feel like we spent every waking moment in the months leading up to the conference planning ... VIEW POST
Teachers Pay Teachers Conference 2014 ~ We’re Back!
Throwback Thursday ~ Math Fact Fluency
We started our summer day **letting** our own kids choose a timed math program from our TpT Shop... They have got to memorize their math facts this summer, and it seemed the easiest and most fun way to get it done! And, they had a blast.. They also agreed to practice every day from now until school starts... On only one condition... They would do it ONLY if we put them all on sale for you. Stinkers! But, we're happy to oblige...

Sliding Through Summer ~ Skills Review Booklet for Off Season Learners

Kids slip and slide all over the summer. Sometimes, we slip off the summer slide... And forget all that we learned... These are the times we remind our teachery selves... Those apples don't fall too far from those trees. ;) Fortunately for our first grade families, we will not let them slip off the summer ... VIEW POST
A Bath Salt Station Tutorial e-SPA-cially for Mom…Spa Mom Mini Makeover!
We know a lot of Moms will be smiling this Mother's Day when their kiddos deliver a handmade Spa Mom craft E-SPA-cially for them! These things are so fun to make! So, we made a Spa Mom Posse... And, we made a Teachers Pay Teachers Freebie to go along with it... We had a very SPA-cial helper flutter in (Spa robe and all...We love it!) to help prep some samples for us last weekend...
