Hi there! I hope you are all doing well, and are safe and healthy! We have transitioned to distance learning here and I am finally feeling like I have my schedule down! I miss my first graders so much, but am thankful that I get to talk with them and hear about their day.
I wanted to share a few freebies in hopes that you could use them this school year, or next.
At the beginning of March we had finished our math unit on data and graphing. Since we had a short 2-day week due to conferences, we completed our chapter assessment and my kids got to conduct their own surveys about fav ..read more

Happy February! I can't believe we are already more than half way through the month! We've had a lot of rain here in Oregon these last few weeks, but today and the next several days are filled with sun! I do enjoy winter and the snow, but I am tired of the cold rainy days!
Speaking of the snow, my family and I have had several opportunities to head to the mountain this winter. Here's a pic of us a few weeks ago :)
Mt. Hood is just gorgeous during every season! My husband and I were able to complete a 3 day hike around it last summer and saw so many beautiful parts of this mountain.&nb ..read more

Here's a little number practice that I'm using in my classroom this week. I'll be using this in a small group setting with some of my students that need a little extra practice counting and recognizing numbers. These sheets can be cut into fourths a ..read more

Happy spring and happy Friday! I'm currently on spring break and really enjoying the time to relax with my family! Life has been busy, especially with an almost 15 year old. I thought life was busy when she was younger, but it seems to get busier as she gets older and has an even busier school and social life!
It's been a while since I've last blogged and I have lots to share with you.
I just love these extra worksheet sets. They are perfect for extra practice in math, and I use them a lot during my intervention time. During intervention ..read more

Happy January! I hope you all are having a wonderful start to the new year! Even though we haven't had any snow in our area yet (last year was completely different ❄️❄️) I still incorporated a few snowman activities our first week back. Thought I'd share with you what we did.
I read several of the books from the snowmen at night series, which my kids just love.
There are several read alouds available on you tube, but I was looking for something a little different but still based on one of the books. I found a version of Snowmen at Night that is set to music rather t ..read more
