Book Talk Tuesday!

I am finally getting a blog makeover! It's a birthday present to myself!  The talented  Christi is designing it for me. I Can. Not. Wait!!

I am linking up with Mrs. Jump's Class for her Tuesday linky. This week she posted a cute activity! She's so crafty!

I have been reading The Patriarchs by Beth Moore. Before now,I have never read a book by her. It's really great! This book is a 10 week bible study. A group of ladies from my church get together once a week to talk about it. I have enjoyed it sooo much!

 

My little boy is reading Cam Jansen for his summer reading project.  We have not started reading this book yet.  We will definitely get started tomorrow.  Although I haven't read it yet, it looks to be really good.   Guess I shouldn't be judging a book by its cover hmmm...

I finally saw one today. A Back To School commercial.  Oh. My. Word! All I could think of was this...

 I hope all of you teachers in Vegas are having a great time!

Five for Friday!

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching .  Here's my five for Friday!

My husband had to go to a conference this week, so the family tagged along! It was nice to get away for a few days.

I won Lesson Plan Diva's rug contest!! When I pulled up from our mini vacation, I saw this amazing rug on my porch! It is absolutely perfect! I can not wait to put it in my classroom!!

I am on Mrs. Fultzs list for a blog makeover. I am SO excited!!

I make a twitter and teacher notebook account for my blog.  I would love for you to follow me!

 

Five for Friday Summer Style

This week is our first week of summer break! Since my church had Vacation Bible School every morning, I haven't truly started my break. I look forward to sleeping late tomorrow for the first time! Well, until my six month old decides it's time for mommy to get up!

One-My little boy celebrated his 7th birthday party at the spray park. It was fun!

Two-As mentioned above, we had VBS for the children at our church. I taught 13 first grade boys. Students and teachers had fun!

Three-I requested to have our reading loft torn down since it's creaky. Honestly, last year it was "The catch all". It's bitter sweet because each year on meet the teacher night, my old students come back just to play in the reading loft. It's like a tradition. 

 Four-I am attending a LETRS training on Thursday and Friday. I have to do an online training before attending the workshop.  I heard from a coworker that the training is 20 hours! I received my registration information today so I just signed up.  Guess I better get busy!

Five-Last but not least, today is day 8 of my summer break!

Link up and tell us about your week at Doodle Bugs Teaching!

Wordless Wednesday

I'm linking up with Sugar and Spice for Wordless Wednesday.

Today is #179 for us. That's right! One more day to wake up and come to school! I have had a great year but all great things must come to an end!

Happy Mother's Day and May Freebie Linky

This morning, we dedicated our baby, Noah, at church along with 14 other mothers. It was sweet! Before we walked on stage, Noah was fussy. Since he refuses to take a paci, I knew I had to take a bottle but where would I put it?? Then it hit me! I could use my husband's pocket as a baby bag. I stuffed a bib and bottle in there. You do what cha got to do! Oh well, it worked!

My boys brought me breakfast in bed. Nothing beats a pop tart and juice box made from your kiddos.

 I'm linking up with Teacher's Take Out for a May Freebie Linky.

I will share one of my springy freebies from Teachers Pay Teachers.

I have several freebies in my store so feel free to hop on over.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Mother's Day!

What is in your cart? Linky

We have 15 days of school left! WooHoo!! The kids are ready for summer. The teachers are really ready for summer!!

I found a sweet mother's day gift to make off TPT. It is simple, cute, and cheap! The kiddos were so excited to make their mommy a present!

I'm linking up with Speech Room News to share my TPT cart with you.

End of the Year Fun-This looks great!

Chevron Labels for next year!

Last but not least, Chevron Letters. These are a freebie! I just need to download them.

I hope everyone has a GREAT Friday!!!

Five For Friday-Spring Break

I am linking up with Doodle Bugs for Five for Friday. I LOVE this link up! This week my school has been on spring break. I have absolutely loved and needed this lazy week.

 I have found a new blog to stalk. She's been around a while but I just found her. Yay! In case you don't already know, she is having an awesome giveaway! Today is the last day so hop on over!

I have made an instagram account for my blog! I've had a personal one for a while so I thought my blog deserved one too!

This is a biggie! The janitorial staff and office staff were at school this week but I choose not to go to school and work! I chose to stay home and rock this little fella. He won't be little for long.

I have been working on new Easter activities for TPT. I should be finished soon! Making school work can be sooooo relaxing!!!

Here's a few pictures of how my little family enjoyed our spring break. When we go back to school, we will have 48 days left of school. I've had a great year. I'm not rushing it! But I love spending time with my little family!

Here ducky, ducky, ducky...

Three of my kids, LOL!

Oh my!!

Shop until we drop.

Horses are always fun!

My favorite ending to this week!!!!

Ending to Dr. Seuss Week

Yesterday was my first day of Spring Break! Wooo Hoooo!!!!  That's right, no setting the alarm clock next week for this girl right here! There are no words to explain how excited I am! My plans are to rest, take my boys to the park, rest, eat ice cream, rest,cuddle with our baby, rest, go to the zoo, rest, stalk blogs, and catch up on making a few activities to post on TPT.

Although I really don't love Dr. Seuss, I have to admit that I enjoyed the last two weeks! It was fun reading his books! The students did a quick character study on Dr. Seuss. He's a pretty neat man! Can't believe I forgot to make Oobleck! Guess I will do that when school resumes. It's never too late to play with Oobleck. Right??

On Friday, the cafeteria made green eggs and ham for the K-2 students.  While they ate, our principal read, "Green Eggs And Ham".

My little boy, Sam, loved green eggs and ham!

The grinch was having too much fun!

Each hall had a door contest. My classroom won on our hall! They celebrated with an ice cream party! It was the perfect ending to a fun week!

I hope you have a GREAT week!!!
