Let the Balloon Countdown Begin...

Can you believe it?!  It's time to start the END OF THE YEAR Countdown!!  I made a quick trip to our local Dollar Tree and picked up a package of balloons.  I had a choice between Dark Gold and Dark Gold.  
So I went with Dark Gold and now let the BALLOON POPPING Begin!!

Of course, you can print mine and use it BUT I tailored the surprises to fit my day, schedule, and my class.  

 This time of year I start pulling out all the tricks I have from the ole' teacher bag.  I think we learn a lot about ourselves as teachers these last few weeks.  Stay strong ladies and gentlemen...we. can. do. this. ;-)

 My kids LOVE a free app that I use called Spin to Win.
You get to put in your own prizes or rewards and they get to spin.  Some of the prizes I put on the wheel are:
Treasure Box 
Sweet Treat
Sit with a Friend at Lunch
Blast Off Tickets (our school wide incentive)
Sit with a Stuffed Animal
No Shoes
Write with a Pen 
Sometimes I use the Name Selector app, which is also FREE. You just need to program your student's names into the app.  


If that student has been working hard and making good choices then they get a chance to spin. They LOVE this! 

 Happy Countdown, Friends!

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??!!

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...
