...Florida Here I Come!!

Oh me. Oh my. I am getting so excited. I'm excited to see my big baby.....which I should share some pics that he has shared with me since he left 2 weeks ago.

Uh huh. 2....yes, TWO pictures from this kid. Really?! Momma cannot do just 2 pictures. And only one of them is actually of him. In the meantime, my little sassy pants takes more pictures in a day than I have taken of her in her entire 9 years of life. Out of 30 pictures a day of what she is looking at, eating, thinking about, and dreaming of; 20 pictures are selfies. ;) <- no, she's not out of town.....just likes pictures.

She does LOVE t.v. I guess, but she we did spend a few days at art camp. She is a creative little girl. Love, love, love her.

I've had a very laid back, lazy start to summer so far. Mr. Sweet and I celebrated our 12 year anny. We had a fun filled night. We always do, though. He makes me laugh. We had some free tickets to the Dallas Museum of Arts event called Beautiful Bodies. Neither one of us we were really sure what it was BUT it was free and we hadn't ever been. That's kind of our anniversary rules, eat at a new place or go somewhere we have never been. We did both!

Yes, I am extremely immature and it was hard to seriously look at all these nude statues with other people being so serious about it. I'm obviously not very cultured.

I sure do love this guy. He makes me laugh and smile a lot. I can't wait to spend the next week in Floriday with him.

School?.....I have started my classroom theme for next year...yay! for me. I'm going with a gumball theme. I will share that when I get back from Florida....it's still in the works.

I've also been working on think tanks for next year. I know I had mentioned these in a previous blog and I really want to share them but right now, it's all based on what I received from 2 trainings and what I think it should look like and mine have NOT been kid tested.....yet. :) These are intended for the kids to work on independently while I am doing interventions. I'm excited about implementing these but I'm a little nervous about the organization and running of these since I've never done it......I will definitely share how it goes.

Have a sweet day, friends!!

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!!

Good Things

What happens when we give kids the chance to share something important to them? This is one of the many things that I loved about Capturing Kids Hearts from Royse City. I completely understand the importance of giving the kids the opportunity to share something good for a multitude of reason but I also know it takes time. Guess what? I found a way for the kids to share their "good things" first thing in the morning. We call it our Daily News and we do it on a padlet wall with our ipads. Have you heard of Padlet? We call it our Daily News but it's done on the iPads and is immediately projected onto our whiteboard to read throughout the day. And it is FREE!! All you need to do is set up an account. You can go here to create your own. Each morning I open a new padlet wall, super easy. Scan the QR code with a few ipads. The QR code is on the right side when you click the share button. The kids are now re...
