A Teacher FAIL

We LOVE to share our successes and everything that goes right...but what about when it goes wrong.  I'm here today to make ya'll feel better.  

 Okay, I found the COOLEST little puzzles and made some pretty cute gift tags.  

(yucky picture)

 If you find puzzles to gift you are welcome to use these tags just pick them up here.


 Now, this is where it gets good.  These were a great price at my local party store and because they came in bulk packages I had a few extra.  My sweet kiddos wanted to try them.  They were excited about it......yay!!! that means the students will be too.

So, they tried them and tried and tried and tried.  We are talking a 9 yr old and 15 yr old...really?!


Okay, an hour later my son (15) completed his and my daughter......completely frustrated.



I will be taking these cool little puzzles back to our party supply store and sticking with something "yummy".

Thank goodness I didn't pass these out....can you imagine the frustration, tears, and defeat I would have exposed my class to before school ever started.  

 Have a SWEET weekend!!

Reading Power Towers

When I should be getting ready for meet the teacher night and the first week of school I'm finishing up a fun little reading game.  Ha!! It's what I do.......get sidetracked.  I found this idea on Teacher Tipster , and it is so simple but a GREAT way to practice reading sight words.   I absolutely LOVE games in the classroom.....and so do the kids.  They don't even realize how much they're learning because they are so engrossed in the games.  It's greatness!!   All you need is a Pringles can and Dixie Cups.  I bought Dixie cups from Costco because I wanted to make each one of my teamies this activity.   Next I covered the Pringles can with a cover .  (I made 5 different ones, please feel free to copy any or all if you want) Because these are the taller cans I covered them with construction paper first, then with the cover.  (we got a little crazy with crafting this summer and my lil' sass got ahold of 2 of the lids and...

Famous Americans Project

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when the kids complete a project and they are SO proud to share it with the class.  This was a project that was sent home and the kids were expected to do on their own time with their parents (help)........now as a parent I understand a little of the dread of an at-home project BUT that's because we are looking at it ALL wrong.   What an awesome and precious time that you get to spend with your child learning new things??....talking??....asking questions??  Your are making treasured memories!!--and if you could only see your child's face when they bring their project to school!!  They are beaming with pride AND CANNOT WAIT to share all their new knowledge with their classmates.   The kids get to picked from a list of 50 or so people and then I sent home a list of different ways to present their information to the class. Pizza Box (Abigail Adams) Hanger (George Washington) Power Point (Jackie Robinson...
