First and most importantly: War Eagle!!!!

Auburn fans rolling the trees one last time in Toomer’s Corner yesterday during the Spring A-Day Game.

 

Here’s a peek at a few things from our week.

Pizza Fractions: The students used four types of toppings for their pizzas. They had to use six individual pieces then write the fractional parts of each topping they chose.

 

Word Work: Ou and Ow

 

 

If anyone would like the patterns for the pizza fractions or the word work, just leave me a comment and I’ll add them to this post. I created these at school so it will be sometime tomorrow before I can upload them.

In Went the Cow…

I love Mrs. Wishy Washy!!! It was one of the first big books I purchased for my very first classroom. I used that book until it couldn’t be used anymore…and I still have it, masking taped edges and all.

I was sent a copy of these babies and my students are loving them. I already have my list of guided reading sets I plan to purchase for next school year!

The pictures are wonderful, and the stories are so engaging!

Steady on the Grind

Happy Resurrection Day! I hope you have all had a wonderful Easter!
It’s back to the grind for me on Monday, but I must say I have enjoyed my week. I have spent it doing one of my most favorite things in the world…reading! I know nerd right?
Here’s what I’ve read so far this week. My favorite of the stack has to be Mara Dyer!! I loved it!  I’ve already ordered the second book from Amazon…can’t wait to get started!

Here’s what I started yesterday.

And here’s the rest of my April Haul.

I hope to show you my next set for May in a few weeks!
In other news…
I’ve been creating these math pages for my students to complete after our daily story problem. It’s too painful to think of my Number Talk pages….they were destroyed in yet another external hard drive death. I can’t even bring myself to start re-creating those yet, maybe this summer.
Anyway, I try to create ones that will keep all the things I’ve taught them fresh. Here’s a freebie for you to use this week. Enjoy and leave some feedback…please.

I have fixed the link for this freebie! Sorry!!!

April Calendar
My April Promethean Board Calendar is uploaded to my store. I’ve had a couple of e-mails about this. I’m also working feverishly to get the final unit of my Reading Street I Have Who Has pack done. Look for it this weekend.


Have a wonderful week!!!! Summer’s just around the corner people!!!!!

A Post Full of Randomness

Hi!
It’s Spring Break for me this week…holla!
This post is full of randomness. So hang on.
Here’s a little of what we’ve been up for the past few weeks.

Now on to Randomness…
The Harlem Shake
First off let me say that the videos that are popping up all over YouTube showing the “Harlem Shake” are hilarious. But I thought you might get a kick out of seeing the real, original Harlem Shake. This dance is probably ten or more years old and I’m thinking it was first featured in a P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puff (or whatever he was calling himself back then) video. Did you know there is even a video featuring
Harlem-ites ( is that a word) reacting to videos of the “Harlem Shake"?

Next up….book blogs and YouTube Book-blogging Channels
I am always tardy to the party. Whenever there’s something trending, or popular or just general bandwagon worthy, I’m always jumping on when the wheels are busted up and falling off and all the people have left said wagon.
But this weekend I found a few YouTube Channels that feature book reviews. I love books and I’m always looking for the next good read. Here are a few standouts. You should check them out.

I’m having a sale! March Madness is my favorite time of the year! I’m heartbroken that my Zags lost last night! But you can go a little mad in my TpT shop this week!

Have a great week! I’m off to rest, relax and try really hard to avoid the temptation of doing anything school related.
