Five for Friday on a Sunday??

Ummm.......not even sure if this is okay but I'm doing it anyway.  :)  It's just so much easier to revisit the past week on Sunday {Fun day} rather than Friday {Fried day}.  So I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching.......
...plus 2 days. :)
1. 
 It's that time of year when everyone gets a little crazy..........including teachers and the things we do to keep the kiddos excited, focused, and motivated.  Would you do the Harlem Shake????  Well, we would and did!!  Check us out.
 {this is a video we made for our principal.......we were hoping to give her a better idea of our faculty meetings when she is away}
This makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it and although we originally started off making one for the kids......I think it was more therapeutic for us.  We relaxed and belly laughed!!  We will show the kids the video we made for them during our ROCK THE STAAR assembly on Monday.
2.
In honor of Earth Day, my sweet family planted a vegetable garden on Saturday.  Isn't it beautiful.
Yes, it looks a lot like a vegetable prison but we have a puppy the size of a horse that is still chewing on things.  So this is to keep him out.
3.
On Sunday it was obvious our puppy is a vegetarian and nothing will stop him from getting what he wants. {sigh........}
 {see the evidence hanging from his mouth}    
                                                                          
4.
Little Sass is soooo ready to swim that she thought she would give a try.  The temp is sitting at 68 degrees.....obviously still a little too cold.  She couldn't get out fast enough.
5.
Little Sass finished her 3rd grade market product.  She will be selling these to her classmates on Friday.  The past month she has been earning money in her classes to pay for her sale booth and to buy products that her classmates will have at their booths.

Have a Super Sweet Sunday!

    The Harlem Shake video is awesome! I would love to get faculty to do something like that. I, too, think Sunday is a better focused day for my blogging!

    Check out my blog over at ifyougiveateacheratreat.blogspot.com. I spent today making my theme for next year, Under the Sea! I have a little give away on my first post from today so don't miss out!

First Linky!!! Monday Made It.....

Well, this is my. very. first. linky. linkup. (GASP!)  It took my friend Michelle  to explain this to me.  really?! .......I was just kinda afraid I'd mess something up. BUT now that I've explained that this is my first time, I'm sure y'all will be forgiving.  right?  Obviously, I have been busy crafting but nothing for my classroom (soon....very soon, I will) so I thought, what a perfect linky to begin with.  I'm linking up with  Tara at 4th Grade Frolic This little craft is bitter sweet.  My lil' sass and I transformed her Disney Princess toy box (once again, i feel the need to explain our floor renovations....please excuse our mess) into a big girl storage chest.  A friend bought me some contact paper from TJ Max and that is what I used to cover the lid.  She LOVES it!   Okay in other news, our swimming pool motor blew up (smoke and all) on the very first Saturday we were out of school.  Geeezz!!--and it took...

Sight Word Book Freebie

I love to use my word wall in the classroom for lots of activities but I REALLY, REALLY like it when the kids use it as a reference.  (kinda the point, huh) :) - Yea, I know.  This year I have put together a personal book for each kiddo that they will be able to reference and I can quickly use it to assess their sight word recognition.   These sight words specifically follow the Texas Journeys Reading Basal for 2nd grade.  Anyone can use this but I've used the 300 sight words in the order of this series.   Each Friday I will listen to the students read the list of of words to me.  I plan to use a different highlighter for each week to mark a word that the student struggles with and we can spend more one on one time in small group for mastery.   I'm going to place the booklets on rings like you see above and hang from hooks on the back of a cabinet.   My goal this year is to FEEL like I'm on top of things...................rather than slow...
