The Sweet and Sassy of Freebie Friday

The Sweet:

Hi Sweet Friends!!  I'm excited to share a FREEBIE with you.  I've linked up with Teaching Blog Addict to share with others so stop to see what else you can use.

Sassy:

WHA...??!!?!  I've completed something in time for a linky party.  The computer didn't crash and TPT took less than 10 minutes to upload.  Seriously.



The Sweet:

This little freebie is from an idea I got from a workshop that I attended with my sweet friend over at Smitten with First.  I think the best part of the workshop was talking with Michelle and sharing Pinterest ideas with each other at the back table.

These are very simple but I think they are a great visual for the kids.  I think that it's important that these are used along with actual items that they've counted and sorted into groups. 

I also purchased some great little place value dice.  Plus, I love the little goodies you get when you attend workshops.


Another great little idea was the small chalkboard made from black contact paper on card stock.  Super easy and cheap to make a class set and give the kids something different to record math problems.



The Sassy:

We drove an hour both days to meet up and share ideas we found on Pinterest.  The workshop......just wasn't what we thought it would be.  We did get really good at taking selfies.  It took several pics to get the right one........and notice our photo bomber, yea, he was the principal of one of the attending schools.  He obviously felt the same way we did.




The Sweet:

We are making our last road trip this weekend.  We're headed to Houston to pick up my Big guy.  He has been gone most of the summer playing baseball and our family just hasn't been the same without him.  :( 


The Sassy:

I'm a little over road trips.  After driving riding to Florida and Oklahoma, these long trips are losing their appeal.  The Mr. is an AH.MAZ.ING driver..........I am so thankful for him.  It has to been some sort of mental thing but I'm not tired in the car EVER unless I HAVE to drive, then I suddenly have narcolepsy.  This is the truth......seriously.  


The Sweet:
Little Sass practiced her driving skills on the farm in Ok.....


The Sassy:

...but I think she would be too easily distracted to drive to Houston this weekend.



Be Sweet!

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...
