Preventing the Summer Slide

Summer is here!     The time that we all treasure...being able to sleep in a little bit, leisurely eating your lunch, and going to the restroom whenever you need! Ahhhhh....precious summer!     Sometimes my summer isn't so leisurely - I've got a 6 and 9 year old at home and, let's be honest, I feel like I spend half of my time refereeing their fights. You guys know what I'm talking about! They love each other, but...they are definitely siblings! ;)     After our first week at home of unstructured, do-what-you-want summer my kids were driving me bananas ..read more

Halloween with Oriental Trading

It is *almost* my favorite time of the year! As soon as football season comes around, school is settling in, and the weather begins to cool it is time to put out the fall decor around the house! I was so excited to find out that Oriental Trading has some adorable goodies for the house at such a reasonable price! Y'all. When the little Frankenstein and skeleton pillows came in I nearly swooned! They. are. adorable! My original plan was to put them in my classroom reading corner, but these little stars needed a place more front and center! The little witch, too! SO cute! The web is the ..read more

Writing Process Interactive Notebook

Now that a few weeks have passed in school, I'm able to take a little breath and share a few things with you! The back-to-school newness is wearing off and I'm *almost* back in "school shape." My feet aren't killing me every day anymore, just occasionally. ;) We spent the first week of school brainstorming alllll the ideas for writing using my little writing workshop printables pack. Once we were more comfortable with the idea of doing journal writing, we dug right into the writing process! I'm so proud of my littles and how much they've already grown in our few weeks together! Snag ..read more

Hey, y'all! I've been working in my classroom the past couple of days to get things ready before we officially go back to alllllll the meetings school for teachers. Who's with me here?! We all know it's hard to get into your room once you actually start back! Since changing last year from Kindergarten to fourth, it's taken me a little while to figure out how I wanted to do materials and such. I finally figured out I want to have caddies with community supplies for highlighters, dry-erase erasers, and scissors. My students don't always have these supplies on hand and it's a big pain to shuffl ..read more

The beginning of a new year comes with so much excitement! I love getting started with writing workshop in my classroom! Here are a few things that I like to include the first few weeks for "getting to know you" activities. Using these prompts is a great way for students to share what makes them unique (I like to quiz-quiz-trade with these prompts so students can share with their peers without feeling the pressure of sharing with a large group) Once your students have finished several of these pages in their notebooks, they will have a great resource for topics to write about! It makes gener ..read more

Happy Monday, friends! I'm joining Tara for Monday Made It this week! I'm starting to get a little nostalgic about school starting back...I mean, the school supplies are out at Target, people! I'm not quite ready yet, but my battery is definitely at least halfway charged now! Last year was my first year to fourth grade. I LOVED the challenge of a new grade and teaching 110 kids, but all year I definitely felt like I didn't quite "have it together." I kept telling myself it would be easier next year, and I know it will be! I'll be prepared for my students this year (or try to be! HA!) Someth ..read more

Hi friends! Now that I've taken a little breather in June - {we had birthday parties for both of my kids - so you know what kind of a "breather" that is ;)} I'm ready to hit the ground running for July! Teaching nouns is one of the first things we start content with in the beginning of the school year, so I put together a little packet of printables, interactive notebook pages, and games to use when we start back! Scroll all the way to the bottom for a little freebie!  My teammate had a cute game like this for prepositional phrases that my kids went crazy over (I ended up laminating them ..read more

Happy Monday, friends! I'm joining my friend Tara for Monday Made It again! This week I made coasters for my husband, dad, and father-in-law for Father's Day. I made these with my students also before school let out but I was too busy to take pictures! One of my teammates has made these in the past with students and I *loved* the idea....they turn out so cute! I bought some 4x4 white porcelain tiles from Lowes for 16 cents a piece - this project is totally economical for making with your class! I have 22 students and it was just around $8 for my total cost...mostly because I am a craft hoarde ..read more

Mother's Day is just around the corner and if you're a Last-Minute Lucy like me (hand raised, here!) then you're still looking for great ideas for Mother's Day gifts. We're smack dab in the middle of a poetry unit so, naturally, we've been writing poems for mom this week!  Y'all...there is nothing more genuine than hearing fourth grader's poems to mom. Most are sweet and a little bit silly, but there are some that are downright hilarious. I've got to get some pictures for you once we complete the finished product! We used this little page to brainstorm and get our brains thinking about ..read more
