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.

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!!

All Things Techy...and FREE

Well ya'll, I have so many wonderful things going on in the classroom and it's all things techy.  I cannot wait to share a few of them with you.   If you haven't stopped by our class blog then you should.     { Mrs. Kirby's Kid's Blog } These authentic pieces of writing just make me so stinkin' happy.  I constantly check my email throughout the weekend to see if they have written anything.  Not because I told them to but because they want to. (insert happy teacher dance right here)  I took my very first student bloggers to the school board and they told our school board what a blog is and why they think it's important.  I gave each one of the kids that presented a small journal, sticky notes and pens to write their ideas about things they'd like to blog about.  This is what their journals look like 2 days later.... These kids cannot get enough!!  Look at all their THOUGHTS... BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!   Look at...
