It's the Little Things....and a Little Freebie

I have soooo many little things that I want to share, I just don't know where to start. And when I say little, I really mean HUGE!! :)) It all started on Friday when I came to my classroom after having cafeteria duty to find this....

stuck to my computer. Awwww...she just melts my heart!! And it was a WONDERFUL day. I had a sweet student that went to the public library after school on Thursday and had the librarian copy several things about Abigail Adams so that she could bring them to share with the class. I DID NOT ask her to do this, we had just spent some time this week learning about her and doing some activities. Isn't that just precious???!! Excited about learning??--Yeah, I think so.

Then, when I got home I found this....

Remember how I said it's the little things that are SO HUGE? Well, several weeks ago I mentioned to my sweet husband that I think I would LOVE to have a teapot that whistled. (not sure why, but just seems warm and cozy) Anyway, this was sitting on the stove for me when I got home. He also melts my heart.

Well, now that I've shared the little things that feel so big in my heart, I have a small little freebie that I wanted to share. Next week we will be comparing and contrasting ourself with the girl from our reading story, so I made a little freebie to go with it. Stop by my TPT store and pick it up.

Now I've gotta get some sleep, I have a 5K in the morning. Yikes!

Good Night Sweet Friends!!

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. ...

Made It Monday

Well, I think I have completely settled into my summer. I know this because once I get settled I start summer crafting, pinning, and looking forward to Stop by 4th Grade Frolics to see all the Monday Made Its. My first Made It screams sUmMeR! My little sass has been selling lemonade for extra money for the past couple of months. She LOVEs it and works very hard at it so my friend decided to make her a lemonade stand from an old fence wood. Seriously, how could you not stop and buy lemonade. The sign at the top was made with chalkboard spray paint. Super cool and it was only 3 dollars at Wal-mart. I'm currently making a list of all the things I want to spray around my house. ;-) The chalkboard makes it easy for her to change it from Lemonade in the Summer to Hot Cocoa in the winter. This past weekend she was selling old clothes, shoes, and bags so her sign said "Jen's Lemonade and Boutique". {first customer} ...
