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...

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...
