Beginning the End

Why am I having such a hard time this year deciding my end of year gifts???  In the past I have made memory scrapbooks with samples of their work from each month, I have made collage pictures of the students throughout the school year with a special note written just to that child, and dvd photo stories.   BUT....I can't seem to make up my mind on what to do this year, and I'm running out of time.  We only have 8 days left!  OH. MY. GOODNESS.  Just sayin' it makes me have anxiety.  While I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do Teaching with Maddeness shared this fabulous freebie.


What an amazing freebie, right?!  Well, I'm very thankful for it and the Teacher's Clubhouse is celebrating 6 years, they will have a new freebie each week for the next six weeks.  YAY!!....for freebies.  Click here to find out more details.


 Well, I'm going to finish enjoying my day off, figure out what I'm doing for a gift, and finish by novel unit for Roxie and the Hooligans.  I can't wait to share that with you. 

 I want to say a BIG "THANK YOU" to the men and women whom have and are fighting for our freedom each day.  My heart is so grateful.

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...
