5 Random Things....

Oh, where to start???  First I am super excited to be on Spring Break.  Did I say "excited"?  I mean "ecstatic"!!!....and not because I have anything planned BUT because I have NOTHING planned.  It's nice to get up and do whatever I want.  Today was beautiful and we took full advantage of it.  So I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching to share my random 5, I like to call mine "Five for Monday". :)


{ONE}  Started my day with a run.  It felt REALLY good.  I realize some of you will look at this and think {weak} but it's been a little while so I'm proud of this.  My lil' sass picked our route.



{TWO}  We spent some time at the park.  The teeter totter was a killer on my quads.  I was basically doing squats while straddling a moving bar.  My 135 lbs to her 50 lbs didn't quite match up, haha!!  She was making me laugh so I got a bonus ab workout too.  


We walked around the pond and chased the ducks and LOOK, we found an egg. 





{THREE}  My bestie takes the most beautiful pictures (comparable to my husband) and she had little bunnies and baby chicks (except we think the chicks were going through puberty) that she was using for photo shoots, so she invited us to come out.  Okay!!  We are on our way!!  She probably won't be happy with me sharing her sneak peek on here but I'm not actually sure she reads these, so I might be safe.  I CANNOT wait to see them!!




{FOUR}  My son has been dying to take us to Bahama Bucks (shaved ice).  So after pictures we treated ourselves to flavored ice.  I had to take a picture of the moment.  Little Sass said she was so nervous and excited....what does that mean? ha!!..and my Big Sass felt like pictures of our time together was unnecessary (notice his excited expression).  So cute!!



{FIVE}  This one is a little old BUT since I haven't posted in awhile it's okay.  Little Sass's DI team won 2nd place and The Renaissance Award.  They will compete at the state level in Katy, Tx next month.  Super Proud!!




Well, that's my random 5 (or 6). Last month I had tried several times to upload the following post but it would not go through, so if you're not tired of reading yet, then enjoy my last month post:


I wanted to share our Valentine Book Reports with all of ya'll!!  They turned out soooo stinkin' cute.  Thank you One Extra Degree for the fabulous idea.  I customized the book report sheet to cover specific skills that we are learning in the classroom.  You can pick up my book report template {here}.  Then the kids decorated their Valentine Box to coordinate with the book that they chose.  I love it when the kids share books that are special to them.  


This student decorated the inside of his box too.  Precious!!


I think they did a fabulous job!! 
Now, off to bed I go.  Good night!!

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...
