...Florida Here I Come!!

Oh me. Oh my. I am getting so excited. I'm excited to see my big baby.....which I should share some pics that he has shared with me since he left 2 weeks ago.

Uh huh. 2....yes, TWO pictures from this kid. Really?! Momma cannot do just 2 pictures. And only one of them is actually of him. In the meantime, my little sassy pants takes more pictures in a day than I have taken of her in her entire 9 years of life. Out of 30 pictures a day of what she is looking at, eating, thinking about, and dreaming of; 20 pictures are selfies. ;) <- no, she's not out of town.....just likes pictures.

She does LOVE t.v. I guess, but she we did spend a few days at art camp. She is a creative little girl. Love, love, love her.

I've had a very laid back, lazy start to summer so far. Mr. Sweet and I celebrated our 12 year anny. We had a fun filled night. We always do, though. He makes me laugh. We had some free tickets to the Dallas Museum of Arts event called Beautiful Bodies. Neither one of us we were really sure what it was BUT it was free and we hadn't ever been. That's kind of our anniversary rules, eat at a new place or go somewhere we have never been. We did both!

Yes, I am extremely immature and it was hard to seriously look at all these nude statues with other people being so serious about it. I'm obviously not very cultured.

I sure do love this guy. He makes me laugh and smile a lot. I can't wait to spend the next week in Floriday with him.

School?.....I have started my classroom theme for next year...yay! for me. I'm going with a gumball theme. I will share that when I get back from Florida....it's still in the works.

I've also been working on think tanks for next year. I know I had mentioned these in a previous blog and I really want to share them but right now, it's all based on what I received from 2 trainings and what I think it should look like and mine have NOT been kid tested.....yet. :) These are intended for the kids to work on independently while I am doing interventions. I'm excited about implementing these but I'm a little nervous about the organization and running of these since I've never done it......I will definitely share how it goes.

Have a sweet day, 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??!! If you need to throw together a quick little gift please feel free to use these tags. { click here } Hop over to TBA to check out other { FREEBIES } this Friday. Have a SWEET day, friends!!

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...

Keeping Up With Kirbys
