We're not sure if it is the delirium of being together in our classroom with no children of our own for a whole 6 hours yesterday, the fact that UGH-ust is officially upon us, or our sheer excitement over participating in the TpT Magical Product Swap hosted by the adorable Jessica Stanford over at BUT, we are going to do our product swap shindig a lil' different this fine UGH-ust morning... ~ Laura Numeroff style ~ You know, "If You Give a Mouse, Moose, Cat, Crab, ...

The TpT Magical Product Swap
Class Share Time & Back to School Freebie
As Moms, we know how much our own kids l.o.v.e. digging through their piles of crap toys to find the *Perfect* share item for school. Though we secretly hope they will pick that treasured souvenir from summer vacay or the family heirloom Great Grandma Betty gave them, they usually pick the one toy they honestly haven't played with in ages...BUT, they MUST share it because at that very moment it is the BEST thing they have EVER seen in the history of ALL things! They have a very hard time ... VIEW POST

We pulled these out to prep the other day and decided Nooooo, not gonna cut it. First, it didn't have any of our new Just So Scrappy 2 clipart we ... VIEW POST
My Letter Sound Dictionary
Hiya Friends! So, we headed into class very quickly yesterday to grab a few To Do's to get us through. When we arrived, we were surprised to find our classroom doors wide open...Oh! Fortunately everything was still there, including our cool custodian who had just labored his day away cleaning our cardboard classroom carpet. How is it that the one day this week that we finally get fully showered, dressed and actually head out of the house we cannot get in?!? Couldn't help but think it was ... VIEW POST
Earth Week Extravaganza…
We've been spinning through the week celebrating our Earth, Earth, and more Earth. We've recovered nicely from our 2 mile walking field trip to the local supermarket, and moved onto more eco teacher friendly activities. We had an on-site field trip about 20 feet from our classroom today ~ We ran there! :) When we arrived {out of breath ~ us, not them} we were in awe to find the Wyland Clean Water Mobile Learning Experience. It was 45 minutes of pure hands-on Eco-ness, as we learned ... VIEW POST
