Freaking Out in 4th

Yes, it's true.  I'm moving to 4th grade.  Wha?!  After 13 years of teaching K-2 I'm moving to 4th......and I'm freaking out A LITTLE.  This grade has never been on my radar.  I've never been curious about it, never really wanted to move up any higher AND I definitely DID NOT WANT A TESTING GRADE.  Soooo......here I am a fourth grade teacher and I am determined to make it the VERY BEST.  I feel lost and a lot like a first year teacher.  I used to joke about stalking other teacher's blogs BUT y'all if you teach 4th and have a blog YOU ARE BEING STALKED and studied!  I want to learn everything I possibly can.  

First things first, I needed to change the blog name.  I quite possibly spent more time changing the name than I actually blog.  This is sad but true.  Originally, I didn't want the name of my blog to be FREAKING OUT IN 4TH, although this is exactly how I feel, it just seemed too over the top.  I don't really plan on freaking out for long.  So I went with Just FOUR Fun.  Actually, that's what my husband came up with but guess what??!!  I didn't secure the url address for that name and if you were to look me up you would get a Brazilian guy named Anderson but he'd like for you to call him "Just".  Serious.

So welcome to my new blog Freaking Out in 4th.  My plan is to share my adventures as a new fourth grade teacher.  Hopefully, I'll share something that will help someone else but right now I just need a way to network with others that know what they are doing.   
 
Let me give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Alicia at Dreamlike Magic.  She is responsible for my cute blog and she is great to work with.  Check out her cute blog templates here.

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...
