RACK Calendar and Elf on the Shelf

So, this post really has nothing to do with the classroom. Every year, my family and I do a little RACKing (Random Acts of Christmas Kindness) during the month of December. I decided that I needed to be a lot more organized with it this year, so I made a little calendar to use throughout the month. (Click on the picture below to download a PDF version of this calendar as well as a blank printable calendar, RACK cards, & Elf on the Shelf notecards) And...

What the Teacher Wore Wednesday

Hey teacher friends! It's another Wednesday and I'm here to show my outfits from last week, but also to blog about my VERY FIRST STITCH FIX BOX!!!! So I heard about Stitch Fix a while back, but finally decided that I would give it a try. I signed up and made sure to put that I wanted to lowest prices on everything! The day my box arrived it felt like Christmas morning!!! I love mail, but I ESPECIALLY love mail with clothes. And it was a surprise!!!...

Math Facts

So, math is probably my FAVORITE subject to teach. But to me, math FACTS, are NO FUN at all. UNLESS you have some incentives to know them RIGHT!?!?! So what I started doing last year, was putting students that pass their math facts on the "MATH FACTS HALL OF FAME" in the hallway for the whole school to see. This REALLY motivated my kids.  This is how it works… In 2nd grade we start out the year by "pre-assessing" our students...

What the Teacher Wore Wednesday

Last week, we had a planning day on Monday and Fridays we get to wear jeans if we are part of our school's "Sunshine Committee"… so this week for me was VERY casual :) Once again, I am NOT the type of person who has a good sense of style! I have a few friends and a sister-in-law that I get most of my styling advice from. I also use Pinterest for my style inspiration. So keep all of that in mind when looking at my pictures :) Monday-- Planning day  Jeans...

Moon Phases and Sequencing

This week in reading we have been learning about sequencing and in science we have been working on our Night Sky unit, which includes the phases of the moon. How perfect.  We started off the week learning about sequencing by using Brainpop. We then read the book "Papa Can You Get the Moon For Me?". We used transitional words to sequence the story together (quick and sloppy chart!) Of course in the book, it goes through the...
