Saying Goodbye and HELLO!!!

Hello bloggy friends!!......I am sooo excited to start my blog journey.  I truly don't know what I would have done this year without ALL the A...MAZ...ING teacher bloggers out there.  You guys helped me survive my year of cscope implementation. ugh!  My sweet friend, Michelle, over at smittenwithfirst.blogspot.com has been so inspiring and encouraged me to start blogging........eeek!-still a little nervous, though. Oh well, here I go!


So today was the last day for the kiddos.  It's always so bitter sweet.  I'm gonna miss those guys.  One of the kids asked for my phone number :O before he left, ummmm.....I love you dear BUT I don't want you calling me.  I gave him my email address and told him to write me and I would love to write him back. (plus we could work on letter writing skills, right?!)

This was my end of year gift for my kids and their families.  I put them all in frames and attempted to make a ribbon on each.  They turned out sweet! I knew mommas would <3 them but the kids LOVED them!!  They melted my heart with all their thank-yous and hugs.

Well.....I am sure that I have broken some blogging rule out there for rambling too much, I'm sorry, I'll learn.

I Monday MADE IT!!

Hi Sweet and Sassy Friends!!  I have some fun pictures of some things that I have made just in time for school to start and Monday Made It.  {insert cheering and clapping} Okay, first.......I didn't actually make the bench BUT I did repaint it and get it classroom ready.  That should totally count and the fact that I nearly took out the neighbor's window during the process.  {if your my neighbor reading this--I'm sorry and it's okay} Here is the before: {donated by a dear friend-LOVE her} I need you to picture this:  I'm on my front porch with the lid of the bench resting nicely on the back of the bench (easier for sanding).  I'm using a handy-dandy electric sander.  Super powerful.  I place the sander on the lid and push the button..........OH. MY. WORD. the board shoots across the yard towards the neighbors window. YIKES!!  A little embarressing but no one saw, so I pick it up bring it back and this time I hang on to it....

{FREEBIE} Friday!

These summer Fridays are coming and going a little too fast.  I met with some of my teamies this week.  Actually, it was 1st and 2nd grade......it's always nice to catch up and  share ideas.   We ate, talked, ate, stressed, laughed, and talked some more.  Loved it! A get together just doesn't seem appropriate without a little back to school goodie, right?!  And who doesn't LOVE some Bath and Body lotion??!! If you need to throw together a quick little gift please feel free to use these tags. { click here } Hop over to TBA to check out other { FREEBIES } this Friday. Have a SWEET day, friends!!

Good Things

What happens when we give kids the chance to share something important to them?  This is one of the many things that I loved about Capturing Kids Hearts from Royse City.  I completely understand the importance of giving the kids the opportunity to share something good for a multitude of reason but I also know it takes time.  Guess what?  I found a way for the kids to share their "good things" first thing in the morning.  We call it our Daily News and we do it on a padlet wall with our ipads. Have you heard of Padlet? We call it our Daily News but it's done on the iPads and is immediately projected onto our whiteboard to read throughout the day.  And it is FREE!! All you need to do is set up an account.  You can go here to create your own. Each morning I open a new padlet wall, super easy.  Scan the QR code with a few ipads.  The QR code is on the right side when you click the share button.  The kids are now re...
