We’ve been having so much fun learning about weather the last month. Since Open House is also coming up, I wanted to create meaningful activities that were also easy on the eyes if you know what I mean. I’m not a huge fun of primary colors so I chose turquoise paper. Just get the large […]
Earth Day and a Freebie
I loved celebrating Earth Day this year with my kiddos and included a lot of activities during Literacy Workshop. Last week, we read several books about being green and even watched a few Discovery Education videos on the topic. I mentioned that we would be celebrating Earth Day on the 22nd and one of my […]
Writing Process {Drafting} Made a Little Easier
I love teaching the Writing Process and I discovered a little tip a few years ago that really helped me keep my sanity once I started implementing it. Copying writing from their draft to their final paper was a bit tricky, especially for my lower guys and EL friends. They didn’t always know what they […]
Dinosaurs, Easter Centers, and Getting my Life Back…Oh My!

So instead…I’m spending a Friday night eating Lucky Charms, watching Pretty Little Liars, and catching up on this much neglected little blog for Doodle Bugs weekly linky party. […]

This is the first of several posts I’ll be doing on organizing, managing, and teaching such a unique class. Bless your heart for taking on the role […]

So Cal Blogger Meet Up
When I began my journey as a teacher in 2005, I figured I’d teach my kiddos how to read, write, be good citizens and friends. I’d collaborate with staff, grade papers when I got home, and leave the rest in the classroom. You know, the usual. I had no idea teaching would be the way […]
March ELA Centers and a “Magic Container” Sight Word Activity
I love March, not just because it’s a short month AND we are on Spring Vacation the last week, but I’m loving it because this is a great time of the year because everything starts to “click” and kiddos are showing amazing progress. This year school year has been a challenge with implementing Common Core […]
