Introducing President's Day and Firefighters!!

Image
By
This week was a quick one, but very tiring. Monday and Tuesday were my only full teaching days. Sometimes you just have one of those weeks. On Wednesday my students took their English proficiency test. I was so nervous throughout the whole thing and I hope they did well! Thursday was early release and today was... FIRE FIGHTER DAY!! I have been arranging a firefighter to come visit for the past few months and today was finally the day that my students got to meet him. I didn't tell them about the visit until minutes before we left. They were so excited and so was I. I have a couple pictures to share with you from today.

The firefighter that came was AMAZING!! We was great with the kids and had them interact with his presentation. After his presentation was over, he had us simulate smoke with gray fabric that the kids had to crawl under. I have to admit, I was a little frightened when 100 second graders started stampeding towards me, but it was fun.
 
Afterwards, we went outside and we got to go into the fire truck. I've never seen my students so happy. They needed this fun little presentation after a stressful week of testing.
 
When we weren't taking tests or putting out fires, we were starting our study on presidents. We started by using Cara Carrol's
 
Here is my favorite one. I love how he's winking. When my student turned in his paper I said,"What's wrong with his eye?" He then said, "He's winking, like this." and gave me a little wink. Haha, so cute!!!

Magic Answer (Flip Chute)

By
Don't we all just love Pinterest? I know I do! I have been wanting to implement math centers into my routine this year and I slowly want to teach my students games that can one day be part of their math centers. I am currently working on a math fluency "program" (future post) and I knew that I wanted math facts to be a big part of my math centers. I saw this flip chute on pinterest and I thought it was perfect. I went ahead and made one of my own. It was actually pretty easy. There is a video on Classroom DIY, but I decided to do a more step-by-step video. You can see that video here. I also  made a template in word that you can go ahead and type your questions and answers into. Click the photo to visit my TPT where you can download the template for free.

3-2-1 Teacher Bio {Weekend Warriors}

By
I am linking up with Weekend Warriors to let you know a little bit about myself. I love getting to know other teachers and thought this would be a fun way to do it.   1. I love being a teacher and I have wanted to be one every since I was a little girl. I even turned my closet into a classroom and taught my sister and gave her homework to do. Even when she was done playing with me I would continue to play teacher by myself and my Barbies. If you peak into my classroom I am always with my students. I am either sitting on the floor with them reading a story, sitting at their tables during math time, and even dancing during Go Noodle with them. I love my job and being able to be a kid at heart 7 hours a day is pretty awesome!! 2.  I absolutely love center time. I love making and creating fun and engaging centers for my students and this year I am even going to add an additional math center time. This is a time where my students get to unwind a little, have some fun, ...

This is a place where you can share anything you would like. All you have to do is write a blog post about something you would like to share and tell us about it. It can be something from your TPT store, an activity that you did in your class, or anything else school/teaching related. I always love learning new things from fellow teachers and I'm always searching for new ideas. Here are a few rules for the link up. Become a follower of my blog. This is not necessary, but occasionally I will be doing giveaways and in order to be considered for the giveaway, you must be a follower. Also, you don't want to miss anything in the future! :-) Add the Show and Tell button on your blog post that you link up. Visit the person before your link and leave them some thoughtful feedback.
