It's Begininng to Look A Lot Like Christmas

We only have 3 full weeks of school before our Christmas break. Can you BELIEVE it?? Neither can I. Look who has dropped in to the 4th grade pod.

Yes, it's Steve and Snowflake from the North Pole. {squealing} I'm sure every 4th grade student will be on their very best behavior for the next 3 weeks and I cannot wait to see the shenanigans from these two.

Really, there is so much to do and so much to enjoy I just want time to slow down. I spent a little time this weekend getting the classroom in the spirit. I found 8 hours of Instrumental Christmas music on youtube. I think that it would be so wonderful to have this quietly planning in the background as the students were working. {squeal}

I also have some wonderful activities planned for stations for the next 3 weeks. Of course, I'm not quite ready to make activities for 4th graders, so that's why I'm using activities from these lovely teachers:

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?!
