5 Random Things....

Oh, where to start???  First I am super excited to be on Spring Break.  Did I say "excited"?  I mean "ecstatic"!!!....and not because I have anything planned BUT because I have NOTHING planned.  It's nice to get up and do whatever I want.  Today was beautiful and we took full advantage of it.  So I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching to share my random 5, I like to call mine "Five for Monday". :)
{ONE}  Started my day with a run.  It felt REALLY good.  I realize some of you will look at this and think {weak} but it's been a little while so I'm proud of this.  My lil' sass picked our route.
{TWO}  We spent some time at the park.  The teeter totter was a killer on my quads.  I was basically doing squats while straddling a moving bar.  My 135 lbs to her 50 lbs didn't quite match up, haha!!  She was making me laugh so I got a bonus ab workout too.  
We walked around the pond and chased the ducks and LOOK, we found an egg. 



{THREE}  My bestie takes the most beautiful pictures (comparable to my husband) and she had little bunnies and baby chicks (except we think the chicks were going through puberty) that she was using for photo shoots, so she invited us to come out.  Okay!!  We are on our way!!  She probably won't be happy with me sharing her sneak peek on here but I'm not actually sure she reads these, so I might be safe.  I CANNOT wait to see them!!


{FOUR}  My son has been dying to take us to Bahama Bucks (shaved ice).  So after pictures we treated ourselves to flavored ice.  I had to take a picture of the moment.  Little Sass said she was so nervous and excited....what does that mean? ha!!..and my Big Sass felt like pictures of our time together was unnecessary (notice his excited expression).  So cute!!

{FIVE}  This one is a little old BUT since I haven't posted in awhile it's okay.  Little Sass's DI team won 2nd place and The Renaissance Award.  They will compete at the state level in Katy, Tx next month.  Super Proud!!


Well, that's my random 5 (or 6). Last month I had tried several times to upload the following post but it would not go through, so if you're not tired of reading yet, then enjoy my last month post:
I wanted to share our Valentine Book Reports with all of ya'll!!  They turned out soooo stinkin' cute.  Thank you One Extra Degree for the fabulous idea.  I customized the book report sheet to cover specific skills that we are learning in the classroom.  You can pick up my book report template {here}.  Then the kids decorated their Valentine Box to coordinate with the book that they chose.  I love it when the kids share books that are special to them.  


This student decorated the inside of his box too.  Precious!!


I think they did a fabulous job!! 
Now, off to bed I go.  Good night!!

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.   ...

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....

All Things Techy...and FREE

Well ya'll, I have so many wonderful things going on in the classroom and it's all things techy.  I cannot wait to share a few of them with you.   If you haven't stopped by our class blog then you should.     { Mrs. Kirby's Kid's Blog } These authentic pieces of writing just make me so stinkin' happy.  I constantly check my email throughout the weekend to see if they have written anything.  Not because I told them to but because they want to. (insert happy teacher dance right here)  I took my very first student bloggers to the school board and they told our school board what a blog is and why they think it's important.  I gave each one of the kids that presented a small journal, sticky notes and pens to write their ideas about things they'd like to blog about.  This is what their journals look like 2 days later.... These kids cannot get enough!!  Look at all their THOUGHTS... BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!   Look at...
