Is it REALLY over??

Ohhh Spring Break........please don't GO!  I've enjoyed my time with you.  I cannot believe that tomorrow at 5:00 a.m.I will be getting up and ready for school.  Yes, I am concerned that it is after 9 p.m. and I am just now sitting down to blog....I'm still in Spring Break mode.  I do LOVE my breaks.  I LOVE the time I get to spend with my family and I LOVE getting excited all over again about being in the classroom.  
We spent the 2nd half of our week in Texarkana watching the USPCA Region 20 K9 trials.  My sweet husband is one of the judges and loves being around the dogs.  I couldn't wait to get down there to see him.....oh and the dogs.  No, really I LOVE watching the dogs work.  I think they are so stinkin' cute!  



We are apart of an organization that helps retired police dogs, 10-7 K9.  You can visit the facebook page {click here} to see more pictures from the trial.  

















While we were at the trials I got this ReAlLy cool foot tan.......
Thank goodness I was wearing jeans.  It was so nice out, I had no idea I was roasting my poor feet.  Yes, it hurts.  Aloe Vera is my new favorite lotion.  This will be a great show and tell for school tomorrow and we can discuss the importance of wearing sunscreen.  

We spent time watching my Big Sweetie play some baseball.  Oh how I LOVE to watch him play.

and
My Little Sweetie and I enjoyed some ice cream outside.  The weather was AMAZING!

That's it!!  We have come to an end, now let the countdown begin to summer.

What'cha Reading?!

We just cannot get enough of the book Pictures of Hollis Woods !  Have you read it?  It's been a fantastic book that has generated so many thoughtful and meaningful conversations within my classroom.   Is it bad that I secretly LOVE it when the kids beg me to read....ONE....MORE...CHAPTER...PUHLEEEAAZZE?!   I t makes my teacher heart happy, happy, happy.  We spent some time writing letters to Hollis giving her helpful advice. I have the most thoughtful and kindest kids! We've looked for similarities and differences between Hollis and a close friend of ours. Wow, I learned a lot about their friends! Student partners had jobs that I assigned from my Literature Circle group packet from the fabulous 4th Grade Frolics .  They completed and shared their questions, connections, and favorite parts with the class to create their own discussions. I LOVE this packet! It has been a fantastic unit to use with my literature circles so I just change...

Day 7 Disneyland in a Day

Okay moms, let’s talk about Disney.   I’m going to be real honest with you.   The notebooks you create and the maps you print out, the discounts and packages and clubs and bracelets and t-shirts and rewards make me sweat.   I seriously get overwhelmed and want nothing to do with this place OR maybe I’m just jealous that you’ve figured out the ins and outs of Disney.   I’m simple.   I like simple and we just kept it really simple.   Our plan was to spend ONE day in Disneyland on a tight budget and have the most magical time ever.    We woke up a 4:30 a.m.—we were a little excited and needed about an hour drive time to get through LA traffic. We made it to the gates before they opened and just stood there to take in the excitement of just being at the most magical place earth.   I looked at all the moms with strollers adorned with shoe caddies that held every family member’s drinks for the day.   The basket...

I picture these being read without coming up for breath until you get to the last line -which is the same pic ture I get in my head of someone speed dating. Thank you Mrs. Beasley for being our pen pals.  The kids LOVED doing this and guess what?  They want to write ag ai n....this is AUTHENTIC learning!  Okay, we can write some more if that's what ya'll want to do. ;-)  One of the books that I read to the clas s before we started writing our friendly letter was Dear Mr. Blueberry . The kids loved it and I thought it was a perfect way to start our friendly letter unit .  Our first letter was to our lunch ladies politely asking for a new it em on the lunch menu. Next , we were able to set something up wi...
