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!!

Reading Power Towers

When I should be getting ready for meet the teacher night and the first week of school I'm finishing up a fun little reading game.  Ha!! It's what I do.......get sidetracked.  I found this idea on Teacher Tipster , and it is so simple but a GREAT way to practice reading sight words.   I absolutely LOVE games in the classroom.....and so do the kids.  They don't even realize how much they're learning because they are so engrossed in the games.  It's greatness!!   All you need is a Pringles can and Dixie Cups.  I bought Dixie cups from Costco because I wanted to make each one of my teamies this activity.   Next I covered the Pringles can with a cover .  (I made 5 different ones, please feel free to copy any or all if you want) Because these are the taller cans I covered them with construction paper first, then with the cover.  (we got a little crazy with crafting this summer and my lil' sass got ahold of 2 of the lids and...

Famous Americans Project

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when the kids complete a project and they are SO proud to share it with the class.  This was a project that was sent home and the kids were expected to do on their own time with their parents (help)........now as a parent I understand a little of the dread of an at-home project BUT that's because we are looking at it ALL wrong.   What an awesome and precious time that you get to spend with your child learning new things??....talking??....asking questions??  Your are making treasured memories!!--and if you could only see your child's face when they bring their project to school!!  They are beaming with pride AND CANNOT WAIT to share all their new knowledge with their classmates.   The kids get to picked from a list of 50 or so people and then I sent home a list of different ways to present their information to the class.

LOTS of {FREEBIES} on this FRIDAY

Hi Sweet Friends!  My big baby is turning 16 this weekend, so I'm here to give little gifts to celebrate.  Yay!!  You know that I'm going to share a few pics of him before you get your {freebies}. Okay, it's time for {freebies} or I'm going to cry.   { Freebie #1 } This is a center activity that integrates reading and math.  I've included 60 of the first sight words that are introduced in Texas Journey's basal.  The students will be reading these words and writing addition sentences to match.  They are also on the lookout for DOUBLES, because in this game DOUBLES are worth more.  You can pick this up at my TPT store. { FREEBIE #2 ) This is a math center activity to help the kids recognize the addend to create the double addition sentence.  They must be the first to fill their backpack with each school supply (addend). I've also included blank game boards and supply cards.  This gives the kids the oppo...
