Almost finished!

Ok I know I said I would have the Geometry CCS Supplemental Pack for 1st grade finished this weekend.  And I do.  But, I am having someone look over it so it will be perfect.  Should be out later this week though!  I am so excited about this pack.  I think it's a gem.  It makes me happy to look at it!  It has everything in there that you could want.   Vocabulary cards, center games, formative assessments and so much more!   I can't wait to share it with all of you.  (All 39 of my followers! haha)

Here is a little peek at what is coming!

Ok that is all for now!  I will be back this week to share the rest with you!  Hope everyone's Monday started out great!  

Five for Friday

I'm joining in on the fun with a little Five for Friday!  Here is a little peek in to the life of ME!  

1. We had a "Glow Dance" at school.  It's part of our PBIS Good Behavior Program.  The kids had too much fun dancing to Justin Bieber and doing the Cha Cha Slide.  Not gonna lie, the teachers were living it up as well.  One of the 1st grade teachers was leading the conga line in the pic!  But let me tell you, that room stunk with a capital S when it was time to leave.  Needless to say I think everyone had stinkin' (tee hee) great time!

2.  You know you are going to have a good day when one of your littles brings you chocolate cake and a picture to go with it!  She is very proud of that fact that she "lisns" to me.  Also, I have great posture and apparently I am able to levitate.  Oh the superpowers of a teacher!

3.  PTL our State Standardized Testing is over!  Luckily in 1st grade we only have 2 days of testing, but let me tell you it is hard to keep 25 first graders quiet and still for 2 hours at a time.  They were rewarded today with their good testing skills with a little "Rest After the Test".  They got to were their pajamas to school and have a movie day this afternoon!  

4.  I went to Auburn this past weekend to visit Mr. Coach.  I was out looking for houses and came across this little gem.  Yes those are bikes acting as a fence for the house.  And yes the house is in the shape of a hexagon.  Oh the things you come across in Alabama.  

5.  Really missing my Coach!  While I am so happy to be finishing out my year with my 1st graders, I am super ready to be with my hubby again!  I can't wait to move to Alabama (we lived in Montgomery for 3 years, and I NEVER thought we would move back to Alabama) to be with him.  I think our dog Bear is missing him too!

Well that is it friends!  I hope everyone has a great weekend, I am off to finish my second Common Core Pack for Geometry.   I am hoping to have it done by Sunday!  Don't forget to go and check out my first Common Core Crazy Pack for Numbers and Operation in Base Ten.  You can check it out by clicking on the link below!

Cloud Writing FREEBIE!

Hi friends!

I have a little freebie for you tonight!

This is a great little writing activity to use after reading the story "Little Cloud" by Eric Carle.

Click on the book to go to Amazon to purchase!

The story is about a little cloud that changes into different objects.  Students will write about a shape or object that they have seen in the clouds, and then draw a picture of what they saw!  It is a great tool to use for making a text to self connection.  This would be great to use when teaching about weather and have the students go outside and observe the clouds!

Just click on the link below to go straight to my TPT store!

Cloud Writing Freebie!

I hope that you can find a use for this.  My kids LOVED doing this!  There writing was fantastic!  I am hoping to be back tomorrow to participate in the Five for Friday.  Have a great Friday!

My First Currently!

I'm linking up with Oh' Boy 4th Grade for the first time!

Listening: My dog Bear is a snorer!  The worst!  He had a big weekend staying with some friends while I was gone.  They have two little boys and they just love him to pieces!  They wore him out!

Loving: I LOVE getting emails that say I have a new comment on my blog.  It makes my heart go thumpity-thump.  I get uber excited and am so grateful that people actually read this thing!

Thinking: I should work out.  But then I just go and get some more Reeses peanut butter cups and that thought just goes away for some reason!

Wanting: We have our State Standardized Testing starting tomorrow.  It's only 2 days for 1st grade but it sure is hard to keep those little ones quiet for that long!  

Needing: I am moving because Mr. Coach got a new college coaching job in Alabama.  I'm on the hunt for a job and hope to find something soon.  Praying, praying, and more praying!

Advice: Blogging is hard!  It takes time and I just have to DO IT!  I am having so much fun though and can't wait to get better at it!

Oh Boy 4th Grade

Well that is all I got tonight friends!  I am so glad that I finally got to do my own "Currently"!  How fun is this!  Have a great rest of the week everyone!

Craftivity Fun!

Hi friends!  I hope everyone has had a wonderful Easter!  I spent it driving 7 hours in a car, but I got to go and see Mr. Coach this weekend!  He is already moved to Alabama and I am finishing my year in Arkansas, so anytime I get to see him I am on it!!  

I wanted to do a quick update as to what we have been doing in our classroom! 

First of is the Bunny Hop Craftivity from a Cupcake for the Teacher.   Y'all, I LOVE her stuff.  I seriously own every craft she has ever done.  She is so creative and my littles just go gaga over all of them!  Seriously go check them out, but I am sure you are already as obsessed with them as me!

 Bunny Hop Craftivity- A Cupcake for the Teacher

The one on the right says, "I will say hi to the kids and to the moms and dads and hide the eggs and close my eyes."  Ha!

The second one is from one of my little ESL sweeties and this is AMAZING that he did this.  His says, "I can hop.  I can hide eggs."  He was so proud of himself and so was I!

The next activity we did was from The Bubbly Blonde!  I absolutely adored this writing craftivity.  I did it just in time to be displayed for parent/teacher conferences.  The parents loved looking at what their kids hope to improve at and what they feel they are doing great at!  So proud of all the progress my little ones are making!  Click on the link to go to her store!

2 Stars and a Wish Craftivity Freebie- The Bubbly Blonde

Well that is all I got!   I am planning on coming back this week with a little freebie!  I am also in the middle of working on my next Common Core Crazy pack for first grade math!  I hope to have it finished by this next weekend!  Have a great week friends and thanks for dropping by!

Woohoo! Common Core Crazy: DONE!

It's DONE!!!  I finally finished my first product!  It is jam packed with all things Numbers and Operation in Base Ten for 1st grade.  As many of you know it is very hard to find supplemental materials that are right on target for each skill.  I think that this pack will serve the right purpose and I am so excited to share it with all of you!  I plan on doing this for all the Common Core standards in math.

In this giant pack you will find at least 4 or more pages to go along with each standard that falls under NBT.  There is also a fun Partner Dice Game that you can use in small groups or whole group!  I like to use the activities in this pack in the small group setting but it would also be a great assessment tool!  Ok enough of the blabbing!  Just click on the link below!

Common Core Crazy: 1st Grade NBT

I will give this pack away to the first 2 people who post a comment!

Common Core Crazy!

I am in the process of finishing my first product!  I am putting a lot of heart and soul into this thing in hopes that everyone will love it!  This packet will cover Numbers and Operation in Base Ten for 1st grade.  I am hoping to make these packets for all of the standards.  Here is a little preview of what is in it.

I am hoping to have this finished by the weekend.  I have the dreaded Parent/Teacher Conferences this week!  Aaaahhhhh!  25 conferences will be the death of me!  I will be back this week to post some pictures of what we have been up to this week in Room 105!  Until then... stay awesome!
