Nerves, Words, and Slime

It's finally here....the BIG. TEST. DAY. My fabulous fourth graders will be sharing everything they have learned so far this year. I told myself not to get nervous or worried but goodness my tummy feels like butterflies are wrestling.

The littles at our school thought they'd leave us some LOVE and ENCOURAGEMENT. Awww!

My kids LOVED all the notes that were personalized to them. They were cracking me up because they couldn't figure out how

the younger kids knew their name. ;-)

We all wore capes on Friday and left a little note with a fun new pencil for our SUPER writers.

I tried to keep myself busy this weekend and not spend too much time reading and rereading this book...boooorrriiinnnggg. I'm not sure why I felt the need to reread this but I did.

So we took our little princess to see Disney Frozen on ice. LOVED it!!

Then we came home to watch the Kids Choice Awards. Of course after watching everyone get slimed on the awards show we had to make our own and try it out.

Just in case you're wondering how to make it. You will need:

it needs to be green but I don't think it matters what brand. We poured about 1/4 of the soap into a pitcher.

Then we added 8 heaping spoonfuls of baking soda to the pitcher of soap. We mixed it up and then planned the perfect opportunity to pour it on someone's head.(not mine) This was all planned out by the creative Jenna for her next vloggy video.

It actually turned out great and I had a lot of fun pouring it over her head.

Well, I think that I have rambled enough but not because I'm freaking out...

Behavior that Makes Cents!

I've decided for this next school year to implement $$ into my behavior clip chart. Our school has certain colors and points that they want us to use and deduct from each child's conduct grade based on the child's color/conduct clip. So each year I jazz up my color chart BUT this year I'm implementing Coins.......get it???!!! Behavior that Makes Cents!! Okay.......this is how it will work in my classroom. Each day the students will stamp their behavior calendar with a coin stamp based on our color chart. For example, black will be used for a quarter because black is considered exceptional behavior throughout the day. They will use a green stamp for dimes, yellow stamp for nickels, and a red stamp for a penny. Although, I rarely have color changes, I truly feel like this will motivate them to not only KNOW their coins but be able to add them up. They will NEED to know how much they have in order to spend their money on Friday. ...

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....

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...

Keeping Up With Kirbys
