I wondered for a while why I just could not find the energy to blog about everything we are doing at school. I mean I always think this is seriously cute, or this is amazing, wow my kids are really getting this I have to remember to share!! Well, for one I can’t seem to remember to take pictures. I am barely making it through
I love Christmas time… I mean LOVE IT!! I start listening to Holiday tunes well before Thanksgiving (with must protest from the hubs). My sweet boys birthday is 10 days before Christmas. Usually we go ahead and decorate it up right after Thanksgiving and then for his birthday I un-decorate a bit or hide a lot of it in the garage. As Conner is getting
My poor, sweet, neglected blog!!! Well as usual I would like to say I have an excuse for neglecting you all but I don’t. I just have not been motivated… every spare second I get I spend with these two sweet boys!! Well I suppose I have been a tad bit busy with report cards and conferences this past week! Did Thanksgiving take anyone else
Not only do I love me some Friday I love a FREEBIE even more! Sorry for my absence lately… I would like to say I have a good excuse, but I really don’t. I have been reading 50 shades and unable to stop. I can honestly say that I have missed you all so much though and catching up on all you wonderful blogsters has

We have started multiplication and my thirds are so excited! I love how pumped they are!! Here are the centers we have been working on…. You can get your center pack by clicking the picture above! To teach multiplication I am using this book and it is FAB-O-LOUS! Kids learn their facts trick by trick… I send home flashcards for them to practice and they
I love Lucy Caulkins and wish that I could teach writing with an ounce of the passion that she does! That being said, if you are teaching with the passion of Lucy behind you, what are you using to supplement for her lack of focus on conventions?? At my school we celebrate the Writing Festival a month into the year. This is a time for
I just love my job… I love it so so so much! Goodness me what a difference I am feeling over the last few weeks. I just love when all of the routines set in. I mean I have such a wonderful group of kids. They are so smart and always excited to learn. It is not fun to teach when the kids aren’t into
I arrived at school bright and early, as usual. I was ready to knock out my to-do list. Wellll I walked into a very dark building. Our power was out and teachers were wandering around wondering what in this crazy world was going on. Instead of searching through the dark and making little progress we all headed out for an extra cup of coffee! Much
Went to the pumpkin patch yesterday! We got super lucky with the weather. It seems every year I say “Next year Conner will want to take pictures” and every year he DOES NOT want to to take pictures. Of course I managed to snap a few anyway. However, there was not a single one with his genuine smile. Exciting enough I did get lots of
