I love the Christmas in July sales at my local craft store. So I figured why not have my own. I’m having a sale starting today and ending Sunday night. Ahhhh visions of sugarplums dancing in my head.

Such An Honor
I opened my e-mail this afternoon and found this. You can click on the picture to see the complete list.
My blog is being featured in Online Master’s Educations 100 Best Web Resources for Educators. It makes me feel good to know that my blog, along with so many other amazing teacher blogs are inspiring others! Thanks to all of you who leave kind words of encouragement. Since I became a part of the Education Blogging community I’ve become a much better teacher myself, and I learn something new or gain a new insight each day. Thank You!!!!!! Here’s to an awesome 2012-2013 school year!

The Teaching Channel
I just found this wonderful site thanks to Sassy in Second. Take a look at this video. When I first started teaching I'd did something similar to this. It just reminded me that I should start to do this again this school year.
If you register with the site(it's free) you get your own on-line lesson planner which will allow you to save your favorite videos. You can even choose when you want to be reminded about the lesson so you won't forget. I know I come across lots of ideas and I bookmark them, then promptly forget where I bookmarked it or I have so many bookmarked that it's impossible to find. The other neat thing is you can add any wonderful idea you find on the thousands of fabulous teacher blog we stalk, to your lesson planner.
Here's another one to use during math time. It's geared towards K but I can change it to fit first grade.
This one has two good place value games. This one is for 2nd grade but I can certainly see implementing this later in the year or even changing it up a bit to use during the beginning of the year.
You should take a look around.

Call the Man Aunt Bee
“Nip it Andy! Nip it, nip it, nip it…”
Rest in Peace Andy Griffith (1926-2012).
No matter how many times I watch the re-runs I still laugh out loud! My favorite episodes are when they featured the Darlings and Earnest T. “No Coffee, Tea, or Punch Thank You” Bass. What’s your favorite episode?
