Ok blogging friends.. its been about a year that I have actually blogged!  However I have some VERY exciting news to share!

I am very excited to share that I will officially be teaching first grade again... and this time its permanent!  YAYYYYY so excited to be back in first grade with the little ones.
So with me being back in first grade, I am in need of some help from you all!  I taught third grade last year so moving down is going to be different, but I am overly thrilled! :)

If you all have any blogs you recommend, awesome morning routines, reading station or math station ideas, SEND THEM MY WAY!

Anyway I hope you all have a great 4th of July!
I cant wait to be back in the blogging world of first grade! :)

Habitats!

In Science that last few weeks we have been talking about habitats... Well today we wrapped it up with a fun art project! 

we decided to use the watercolors to paint the background of our beautiful habitats... then we took another sheet of paper and used crayons to draw our animals and plants that went with the habitat we chose!
This art project was an awesomely fun one!  I HIGHLY suggest! :)

Enjoy....
Im hoping to have some EXTRA fun things tmrw.
Good night.... Rest up, Tmrw is Thursday!!!!

Life after spring break!!!

Hi to my blogger friends that are left!  I've kind of slacking on the blogging world... SORRY!
I am so excited to share some things my kiddos have been working on lately...

Ok so I am on this writing kick... probably due to my Masters Writing course.  My kids used to HATE writing and now... they are BEGGING to write!  Its so fun.  We just finished our HOW TO books.   Let me tell you, so cute and fun. :)
A few of the papers we used for these included the following:
Table of Contents!
How To!
Think Pad!
Graphic Organizer!

Im in a crunch for time... so I will update more later tomorrow! :)
Good night all- Have a wonderful Wednesday!
