Super LOVE

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this little girl!!--and this weekend she will be turning 9!!!  Oh goodness.  She has also informed me that this is her "last one digit year".  What?!  I never really thought of that, thanks sass for keeping me on my toes. :)  So, to celebrate her birthday, her grandparents came to town last weekend and we took her to the American Girl store and Bistro.  



She said she wanted to do this rather than have a big party with a bunch of friends.  Now, I'm thinking a BIG PARTY and LOTS of friends might have worked out financially better for us.  ha!!  We had so much fun!!  I LOVED watching her face light up, her tiny voice squeal, and watching her run from one thing to another. 

They had a salon for the dolls?!!!? What?!! and They brought drinks out for the doll?!!!??  Seriously!!  She said it was her best birthday EVER.  After all of that I feel like we have adopted a new member to our family.  :)
This is definitely a week filled with LOVE!  In class we have been reading a book about a super hero and of course lots of Valentine stories, so I made a little SUPER hero craftivity and activities for the kids to enjoy.  We are also learning to write friendly letters.  We have exchanged class list within our grade levels and will be sending letters by the end of the week.  I LOVE getting letters.  Don't you??  Stop by and pick up my SUPER hero writing and activities pack.

Have a Sweet Day!!  Lots of Love!!

    Your daughter is gorgeous! (And her doll is a dead ringer for her!) Having bought Coconut, a camping set and heaven knows what else for my niece, I can relate to what you are saying about the cost of her 'small' party! She'll remember it forever, so think of it as a good investment!

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...
