Wild Week!

What a wild and crazy week it has been.  Last week we had a holiday Monday and Tuesday-Friday were cancelled for snow days.  We finally went to school Monday and Tuesday of this week then had snow days Wednesday and Thursday.  Today we had a 2 hour delay.  So my plans will remain pretty much the same!  I have to teach matter, shadows, day/night and groundhogs to my kiddos over the next 2 weeks.  AHHH  Not to mention Valentine's and 100th Day is coming in just 2 weeks!!!  
So....with that said...I'm having a sale in my store this weekend at TN and TpT!  Be sure to stop by....and enjoy the SUPER BOWL!!!!

Peek at my Week 1/27/14 {Matter and Groundhogs}

I'm here to link up with Deedee and Mrs. Laffin's Laughings for a Peek at My Week! 

Ok...we were just out of school for an entire week. So I'm trying to squeeze in states of matter with groundhogs this week.   Here's a look at my plans:

And here's a little freebie for sticking with me to the end!  I just made this to use with my kiddos tomorrow.  They will have to write the positional word in the blank.  Click the picture to get it in google drive - clip art is from  My Cute Graphics.

Now hop over to see what everyone else is doing this week!!  

   Have a wonderful week!!

Five for Friday {1-17-14}

This week was all about new years and winter birds!  My kiddos are really improving in their reading and writing.  I took some pictures to show you because I'm definitly having one of those proud teacher moments!! :)  Take a look and be sure to go all the way to the end for a special treat! :) 1.   We finished up our week talking about goals and what we'd like to achieve by the end of the year. Here are a few of the writings as well as some pictures of the kids working at their seats on the craft.

2.  I took a bunch of shorts of my classroom in hopes that I would get the time to give you a tour of how I set things up and stay organized (or atleast try to).  Since I'm at a new school, I'm still trying to figure out how and where I want everything to be.  Here is a collage of the shots I took.  I'll share more later!

3.  Here is our hall display right now.  We talked about the Virginia symbols this week and did some research on the cardinal.  The kids made this cardinal and wrote a fact about it. The other project is our dream writing for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

4.  These are a few other updates I made to my classroom.  I added a new poem!  I really like it.  The top left is a picture of my new schedule cards. They are editable and you can find theme {HERE}.  I changed mine a little to match my curriculum.  The bottom picture is my new word wall.  The white paper covers old chalkboards.  The previous paper I had was too think so my words would not stick with the magnets.  I like that this is a much cleaner look and is easier for the kids to get the words if needed and then return them.

5.  And finally, I added some awesome new math stations.  My favorite is the mittens/gloves graphing.  I will try to get a copy of that up next week for you to use if you'd like.  My kids absolutly love stations!!!  Check out my January and February On/Off games to add to your collection!!

  I hope you had a good week too!  Have over to Doodle Bugs Teaching and link up or just check out everyone else's week! Happy Weekend!

Peek at my Week {Winter Birds/VA Symbols} 1-13-14

I'm here to link up with Deedee and Mrs. Laffin's Laughings for a Peek at My Week! 

 I have been a little behind lately, but feel very good about my plans for this week.  I do have them prepared and will try to share tomorrow some of the activities that we will be doing this week.  We are going to continue talking about winter birds and begin to look at Virginia Symbols (cardinal, flag, tree).  I'm in the process of making some emergent readers, flip books and other activities to help teach the VA symbols.  Stay tuned if you'd like to get them! Here's a look at my plans:

Now hop over to see what everyone else is doing this week!!  

   Have a wonderful week!! Have a great week!
