A Game and Goodies

I just love reader's theater.  I think it is fabulous and there is just soooo much you can do with it (I'll share some of the things we do later).  Usually I do reader's theater in my small groups but this week we are doing it as a whole class.  We are reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas, {click here} to get a copy for your class.  It's perfect for a large class and I had planned for the kids to read it to their parents at the Christmas party buuut...........my little sweeties keep getting sick.  I had 3 out today and sent 3 home throwing up.  Yikes!!  Hello Lysol!!  

Last week we learned the long o sound spelled ow, oa, and o.  I made a game for the kiddos to play and thought I would share it with you.  
We have also spent the entire school year (it feels like) learning types of sentences and using the correct terminology.  There is really nothing cuter than to hear them tell me it's an interrogative sentence.  They truly butcher mispronounce that word but they know what it is. 

Our parent gifts are coming along nicely!!  I think they are turning out pretty stinkin' cute, if I do say so myself.  My favorite kind of gifts from my own sweeties involves something on their body painted-then transformed into something else (example: like feet turned into ghosts) and pictures. I believe I have captured both. {squealing!!}  Pics coming.

Okay, I've shared a game now let me share a goodie.  I love to make cake balls aka blobs (mine actually resemble a blob) and give them as gifts.  So my little sass and I got started, we used a chocolate cake mix and frosting and a vanilla cake mix and frosting.  This is really super duper easy.  First, you bake a cake according the box directions.  Let it cool and then break it apart in a bowl a mix in the frosting.
Form small balls or blobs and freeze for a couple of hours.  Melt candy chocolate and dip the cake ball in the chocolate and place on wax paper to cool.  To dress up our blobs we melted white chocolate and drizzled it over the top.  Finally, try to give most of them away otherwise you will get carried away eating them.

Sweet Dreams 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....

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...
