Currently February and How to link Instagram to your Teacher Facebook account

I haven’t linked up with the hilarious Farley in a month, so let’s get February started right. My sweet boyfriend bought me an apple TV I didn’t think I needed or wanted.  That is until my sweet Instagram teacher friends introduced me to “Scandal” and “Revenge.”  It’s a problem people.  I’d rather lounge in bed with […]

Five for Friday Linky Party: February 7th

I’m linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching after a long, hard day!  I’m thinking this 1/2 combo class is stretching me a bit too thin.  Looking forward to a weekend to decompress. Our Donors Choose project was funded a few weeks ago and we are loving our new Samsung Chromebooks.  We use them daily for math […]

A fun way to get your students to follow directions {hopefully}

I’m guilty as charged.  I’m not the best at following directions…especially when it comes to baking.  I glaze over the directions and as a result, most of the treats I make end up burnt, tasting funky, or just plain awful.  Maybe it’s because I’m impatient??? But let me tell you, my students are the same […]

Five for Friday

This is my first time linking up with Doodle Bugs, and since I’m in a blogging roll tonight, why not keep it going.  But really, it’s Friday night, shouldn’t I be doing something a little more social?!?! This week has been bananas, but in a good way.  We celebrated our 100th day of school on […]

Teaching Matter with my Firsties

For some reason, this unit has always been one of my favorites.  I have improvised it along the years, but got many ideas from a Master Teacher years ago.  This unit took us the entire month of January, fitting in Science whenever I could. I also use a lot of G.L.A.D. strategies in most of my […]

Why every Teacher should have a Teacher Instagram

Let’s be honest, we all love looking at photos. If it’s pretty, adorable, or bright, I’m a fan.  I created a personal Instagram account in the summer of 2010 when I was living and teaching in Hawaii.  At firsts, I thought it was just a photo app that added pretty filters to my photos to […]

The 100th Day of School Celebration

Wow!!!  Have we seriously already been scholars for 100 days?  Time sure flies! We did several activities from this unit I created (hurry and grab it, it’s only 1.60 until Wednesday).  A few days before the big day, I sent home a letter (included in the packet) to parents. I made an extra copy of […]

Winter Love Giveaway

I don’t know about you, but it was hard to head back to school after two glorious weeks in my jammies, catching up on lots of horrible TV {I’m a reality junkie}, sleeping in, and doing just a tiny bit of school work.  But I’ll be honest, being back the last two weeks has been […]
