Amazing Week!

If you couldn't already tell by the title of this post, I had an amazing week! I had one of those, "I love teaching and nothing is going to get me down kind of weeks." I've been needing a week like this for a while now. We were extremely busy all week and I didn't get time to take pictures of anything. We didn't really do anything post worthy, other than our Presidents Day activity. It's drying right now and once I hang it up on the wall, I will post pictures. Another exciting part is that one of our friends came back! I've had a student that has been afraid to come to class since November for personal reasons. He missed a lot of school and the days that he came to school, he spent them in the office or with the school counselor. I am happy to report that he is back and adjusting back to normal. Our class feels whole again. :-)

Now onto my week in pictures...

We have thouroughly been enjoying our carpet. I can't believe how much joy it has brought to our class. We just love it! As someone that was in my class said, "I love how your carpet is different from all the same 'ol carpets. It makes it stand out." I completely agree! This week we used it to sort our plural words in abc order and make it easier to match up.

This week we worked on plurals and my students did so well with it. We are continuing next week. I also found this cute freebie that I will be using in class next week.

Please pardon the creepy eyes. I am not on my computer with my photoshop so no cute sunglasses this week, just creepy alien eyes. :-) We have week long specials so my students had art this week. They made dragons for Chinese New Year. All of them came out so great!!

On a more personal note, I went shopping for craft supplies. I love crafting. If you didn't know I have another blog dedicated to crafting. You can click the picture below for a link to it! :-)

Here's just a cute little comic that I felt like sharing. I have a Dachshund and if you know the type of dog they are, you know this fits them to a T!!!

Then if I thought this week couldn't get any better, I get this email from my principal at the end of the day. I'm a firm believer that if you put out good thoughts, actions, and feelings, good things will come in return. I tried to focus of the positive this week and I didn't let anything get me down and it ended up being the best week I've had in a long time!

  4. Don't you just love when parents take the time to send in notes of appreciation? Especially, when they send them on to admins?? To me, that is the greatest gift they could give! Much deserved, I'm sure! :)

I'm Not a Turkey

With Thanksgiving coming up, I am reminded of all the things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I am also thankful for such a sweet bunch of second graders this year. I want to keep this post short and sweet so I will leave you with one of my favorite writing activities, I'm not a turkey. I'm sure there are many variations of this activity, but I just love it so much.  I love the creativity that comes out during this assignment. One of my favorites... I'm not a turkey. A turkey has feathers. I have hands. Can I ask you a question? Do turkeys go to school? No they do not. I am a student. I talk a lot. If you eat me, I can talk in your stomach. If you eat a student, you go to jail. Ohhh so creative!!

Plan With Me Sunday Blog Hop

Welcome to Plan With Me Sundays Blog Hop! This is my first time participating and I am so excited! I have been a planner all of my life and I absolutely love writing things down and organizing my life. This week I wanted to link up with Keeping up with Mrs. Harris and Kreative in Kindergarten because I love looking at other people's planners. Before I share with you my planner(s) I just want to let you know that I have THREE, yes three. One is my personal planner with my every day to do lists, chores, appointments, etc. My second is my business planner. I use this to organize things for work, my TpT store and blog, as well as my Etsy. The third planner is my Erin Condren teaching planner. I will not be sharing that planner this week, but you can learn all about it HERE . I will be sharing two of my planners here with you today. The first is my business planner. It is an Erin Condren planner in the vertical layout. I love this layout because it is broken down into thre

Team Member Gifts

Happy Monday! Today is my last day of summer vacation. I have meetings this week, but I am going in today to have a team meeting with my wonderful kindergarten team. This year I am team lead and I wanted to share my appreciation with some beginning of the year gifts. Teaching all day can be tiring and at the end of the day it's not unusual for some of us to forget to drink water. I have two HUGE water cups that I bring to work every day, but it never hurts to have more. I added vinyl to these mason jar cups for my team mates. Hopefully we will all stay hydrated this school year. The next part of their gift are some goodies from my favorite place... Target!! I just packaged up some of my favorite dollar spot finds and closed it up with some washi tape. This past week I went into my classroom and set everything up. I wanted to be able to relax this week and focus on lesson planning this week. I have been creating custom stickers for my Erin Condren lesson planner and I ha
