Math Wall

This project took forever.

My perfectionism kicked into high gear

I wanted to be sure everything was just perfect, 

that every math word was included,

the every card had the perfect graphic to explain.

I can happily say that they are finished! **enter applause here**

I'll be laminating them promptly,

ready for my rockin' Common Core Math wall this year!

A few random, ramblings...

1 year ago today was my last day of school.

It was also the day I went into labor with this little lovie.

talk about good timing.

And now here we are...getting ready to party!

It's going to be a foam finger theme.

The Mommy in me just wants to sit around and play with these boys all summer,

but the teacher in me wants to teach them :)

My older son is really into Eric Carle right now,

he's a little young for some of these, 

but rocking parts of it!

Such a fun unit!

Me in this world

My littles always have a tough time with geography.

No matter how much I teach it I'm always hearing things like,

"I live in the state of Disney World."

"My country is Florida."

I made up a little project to break it down a little bit for them.

It takes their location and breaks it down piece by piece.

school-- town-- state -- country -- continent -- planet

I think we're finally getting it!

Woot woot!

                       

These are a few of my favorite things...

I'm a bit of an instagram addict.

LOVE it!

Oh course it's filled with pics of these lovies!

                                       

                                       

So you can imagine my excitement when I found out 

that I can combine instagram AND teaching goodies!

Now, yes, I do realize it's Wednesday...

but I couldn't contain myself...

no way could I wait a whole week!

Find me HERE! 

A little piece if heaven...

My whole teaching career I have had a love hate relationship with electric pencil sharpeners. I love their ability to sharpen the perfect pencil point in seconds, but hate the fact that I have to purchase 4 a year.  That is until I found this little piece of heaven.  Another teacher mentioned that he had, had one of these bad boys for over 5 years and that it was still sharpening perfectly.   I am now on month  6 and we are still going strong. I may just have found a teachers best friend! 

Number of the Day

I love anything that makes my life easier.

Number of the day is one of those things!

I like it because all I have to change is the number each day.

Kids like it because it becomes very familiar to them,

they get really fast at it!

This year I made it even easier,

I laminated the kids sheets so they just had to write, wipe, repeat!

Have already begun making a new fresh set for next year.

I also kicked it up a notch for the older grades here!

What about Dad?

Poor Dads...

always get left out of all the school fun for Fathers Day.

Don't forget Dad this year...

He would love a little poem too!

Happy Father's Day
