Friends, is this year’s early Easter totally throwing you off or what? We’re still celebrating St. Patrick‘s Day with our Great Potato Disguise projects this week, but I’m already looking ahead to our chick adoptions for spring/Easter. We’re on spring break the week of April 1st, and I’m still debating on whether or not to…
What do you find at the end of the Bloggy Rainbow? A chance to win $100 in TPT GOLD! Unlike the sneaky leprechauns, there are no tricks here. In fact, there are lots of freebies, as well as a riddle or too. =) I teamed up with 16 of my bloggy friends {remember the ladies…
I just love February. I love the sweet little notes from my students, the candy (oh, the candy!), and the extra celebration with my husband because it’s the month we first met. It’s also the month BEFORE all the crazy state testing amps up big time at our school. Looking at our calendar for March…
We’re officially on winter break so I have a million and one things to do, but I had to squeeze in this post. One of our kindergarten teachers shared this fun webcam that is too cute to miss. Your students/kids can watch Santa’s reindeer and even get to see Santa feed them three times a…

Have I told you how much our third grade team rocks? We truly work so well together and enjoy collaborating. As we returned to school after the news of Sandy Hook, it was important to pick up, carry on, and show our students we love them. This morning we put all of our students…
We’re working our way through our Christmas/Holidays Around the World Unit at school (sorry I didn’t get it cleaned up enough to share yet, but there’s always next year!). It’s a fun unit where we study two different countries each day and learn about their traditional winter celebrations. We also practice map skills by color-coding…
I don’t know about you, but I am just exhausted! I’ve been battling some allergy issues recently, though it seems to be a bit more complicated than just my allergies too. I feel like I could sleep at least 36 hours a day. 😉 Nevertheless, we’ve been plugging away at school and I even managed…
Put the turkeys away (after filing my ideas away for next year, of course!), and get out the snowflakes because the winter activities are taking over! I really love fall with all the beautiful leaves and in-between weather, but the excitement of the winter holidays and snow days are hard to resist. That excitement motivated…
