Late But Loved....Mother's Day

To say we've been busy would be an understatement.  It's funny because if we are home at least one day out of the week it's considered a slow week.  I'm not complaining. I love my family and the time we spend together. I do have a small confession though...I've been running around like crazy mom that I almost forgot about getting my Mother's Day gift ready at school. It seriously became a last minute gift but I think it turned out precious and hopefully none of the mommas felt as though they were a last minute thought.


 Hobby Lobby had everything I needed.
1) 1X1 mosiac tiles
2) ribbon
3) necklace loop (this is not the official name)
4) Modge Podge
5) strong ceramic glue (to attach the necklace loop)

Considering I was running a little behind I'm happy this project was fast and easy. The kids wrote an "I Love You" message on the back of the tile and then Modge Podged their picture to the front.


I made 1X1 pictures in Microsoft Word.
The problem solving that took place when I asked them to measure 24 inches of ribbon was greatness. They make me giggle.  That was probably the hardest part of the project for them.  They looked at me like I was crazy because the ruler was only 12 inches. Thankfully most of them figured it out and some needed a little guidance but everyone was successful.
I just love adding pictures to things. So we added a picture to our card and it was ready to send home.
I took a sneak peak at some of their messages to mom. They were so thoughtful and sweet and some I didn't really know what to say....


{this one says that their mom is so "awesome" that the other moms brag about her to their husbands}
{this one says "thanks for all the stuff you do and for breastfeeding me, I hope I can repay the favor one day"}
What?!

Despite running behind I think they turned out sweet and thoughtful.  Of course if your reading this now you can save this for next year. 

My little Honey Bunny entered a Mother's Day contest at one of our boutiques in town LaRue and won.  WOOHOO! She entered so many times I was afraid they were going to block her from their site.  It just made my heart happy that she wanted it so bad.  
She won!! I cannot believe she won.  We had fun trying to spend all that money. Thank you LaRue!!

I hope all the mommas had a wonderful and relaxing day.

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.   ...

HO HO Oh No!!!

If cameras were in the classroom AT&T would be calling me for their next commercial.  I LOVE these commercials because I feel like everyone in the world gets a little glimpse of the great conversations that take place in the classroom of young kids.  Sometimes the most amazing conversations take place and then sometimes......not so much..  Okay, back to "HO". I had given my kids all the letters in the words GROUNDHOG DAY.  I then challenged them to come up with 25 new words using these specific letters.  They are hard at work when I get this question "Can I use the word "ho"?  Me: "Well, no because hoe (then I precede to tell them about a garden hoe and what it is used for-you know, building a little background knowledge, just in case) is spelled with an "e" and you don't have an "e" available to you."   Another student says, "I mean the other "ho"."  Me: "Well, that's not really appropria...
