Cootie.....Inspired

  I'm not sure if I had mentioned this in previous posts but the name of my blog was created by my Sweet and Sassy 8 year old.  Sooo fitting.... ;) Well, I've tricked my little sweet and sassy into reviewing her coins and adding money (without having to go shopping).  During my late night blog hopping I came across Hungry Hippo on heathersfirstgradeheart.blogspot.com,
too cute!!  Well, this got me thinking about a game that my daughter received this year, which is really too young for her UNTIL NOW.  Do you remember this...........

I've changed a few things and now we are counting coins and buying cooties. (eeeeewwww!!)  Buying Cooties
My sweet and sassy did a fabulous  job adding and subtracting money AND she beat me by completing her Cootie before me.


After feeling so confident with her money, she decided to start her own lemonade stand in the driveway.  It's been a fabulous Friday!!

    First off . . . your blog name is flat out FANTASTIC! Sassy is one of my favorite words. I love that you pulled the old cootie switcheroo on your kiddo. What a fantastic idea . . . to incorporate money. It's so cool that she is starting a lemonade stand. I remember doing that when I was a kid too. Glad I found you :)

First Linky!!! Monday Made It.....

Well, this is my. very. first. linky. linkup. (GASP!)  It took my friend Michelle  to explain this to me.  really?! .......I was just kinda afraid I'd mess something up. BUT now that I've explained that this is my first time, I'm sure y'all will be forgiving.  right?  Obviously, I have been busy crafting but nothing for my classroom (soon....very soon, I will) so I thought, what a perfect linky to begin with.  I'm linking up with  Tara at 4th Grade Frolic This little craft is bitter sweet.  My lil' sass and I transformed her Disney Princess toy box (once again, i feel the need to explain our floor renovations....please excuse our mess) into a big girl storage chest.  A friend bought me some contact paper from TJ Max and that is what I used to cover the lid.  She LOVES it!   Okay in other news, our swimming pool motor blew up (smoke and all) on the very first Saturday we were out of school.  Geeezz!!--and it took...

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.   ...
