I'm BAAAAAck! Made It Linky and Summer Fun


Oh, little blog, how I've missed you! ....and it's Monday Made It #4 with Tara 
                                                       
I have truly taken on a project WAAAY bigger than me.  This little project is now going on 2 weeks and after bruised knees, blisters on the palms, and sore muscles, we are ALMOST finished.  (yes, I said almost, it's still not done)  But it's going to be beautiful.


This is the tile we've been laying in our house (almost entire house).  Isn't it beautiful??!!  This picture is without the grout but this little project has kept me from blogging, properly feeding my children, doing laundry (I'm okay with this), and leaving the house.

Summer Fun

We found small smooth rocks in our neighborhood and after they were nice and warm from sitting in the sun we colored them with crayons. 



It was fun!!  Even my 14 yr old did this with us (although he wouldn't agree to have his picture made with them)

And last.........a sweet little find on Pinterest, that we turned into a father's day gift.
You write your messages with a dry erase marker! {gasp!} cute, huh?!  My lil' sass wrote because "you're the best daddy ever" then my bigger sweet came back and wrote this.  (it has to do with baseball and twitter.... ;)



Come back and visit me tomorrow, I want to share my writing folders with you.  Have a fabulous summer day!!

Behavior that Makes Cents!

I've decided for this next school year to implement $$ into my behavior clip chart.  Our school has certain colors and points that they want us to use and deduct from each child's conduct grade based on the child's color/conduct clip.  So each year I jazz up my color chart BUT this year I'm implementing Coins.......get it???!!!  Behavior that Makes Cents!!  Okay.......this is how it will work in my classroom.  Each day the students will stamp their behavior calendar with a coin stamp based on our color chart.  For example, black will be used for a quarter because black is considered exceptional behavior throughout the day. They will use a green stamp for dimes, yellow stamp for nickels, and a red stamp for a penny.  Although, I rarely have color changes, I truly feel like this will motivate them to not only KNOW their coins but be able to add them up.  They will NEED to know how much they have in order to spend their money on Friday.   ...

HO HO Oh No!!!

If cameras were in the classroom AT&T would be calling me for their next commercial.  I LOVE these commercials because I feel like everyone in the world gets a little glimpse of the great conversations that take place in the classroom of young kids.  Sometimes the most amazing conversations take place and then sometimes......not so much..  Okay, back to "HO". I had given my kids all the letters in the words GROUNDHOG DAY.  I then challenged them to come up with 25 new words using these specific letters.  They are hard at work when I get this question "Can I use the word "ho"?  Me: "Well, no because hoe (then I precede to tell them about a garden hoe and what it is used for-you know, building a little background knowledge, just in case) is spelled with an "e" and you don't have an "e" available to you."   Another student says, "I mean the other "ho"."  Me: "Well, that's not really appropria...
