MY SHIRT!

I had blogged about my amazing shirt quite some time ago but I knew I had to give my shirt a post on its own! #APLUSIMAGES did an amazing job with my logo! I like wearing my shirt EVERYWHERE! I like the simplicity and the look of my shirt !

I wore this during the week of Professional Development and  everybody liked it...and hey I got some teachers visiting my blog! :) 

THANK YOU SO MUCH A PLUS IMAGES! :) 

Check them out HERE!

Five For Friday! Woohoo!

Happy Friday! I can't believe is already Friday! For some reason this week just flew by! Wasn't it Monday yesterday? lol! I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for the coolest linky! 

1. 

We have been working hard on our place value! They children have done such good job! My school doesn't let me get a bunch of copies :( so I have become quite resourceful. We use a BUNCH of clear sheets! Dry-erase markers are our best friends! When we did our assessment I decided to have it timed for 1 minute and see how much they would get done! They loved it! (oh and dry-erase markers are their favorite supply!) 

2. 

If we are working on place value why not know how many tens and ones we have in our names? We did the first letter on our names though! I like to give my friends a chance t cut and paste as many times as possible to improve their motor skills. Non-educators can't imagine how much practice and modeling children need to have in order to know how to do simple stuff like holding a pair of scissors.

3.

We finished TRC! YAYYYYY! No more testing for a while! My friends did so well and we are ready to improve some of those scores! 

4. 

We Started my FAVORITE SEASON! Welcome Fall!!!! We celebrated the first day of Fall by picking up leaves and reading some great Fall books during Literacy Centers!!! I mean Who DOESN'T love Fall? 

5.

#WelcomePopeFrancis! I am so impressed on the warm welcome the countries have given Pope Francis! He is absolutely sweet and so humble! He has changed the face of the Catholic Church and has made us feel more comfortable and blessed with our Faith! Soooo When I saw this I just knew I had to share it! 

Have a happy weekend! 

Five for FRIDAY!!!

It has been really busy all of this weeks! I haven't had time to do posts...but I've been busy! :) I am so thankful and in love with my class this year! They are so amazing! I think I changed the way I started the year ... That made a BIG difference! Last year being my first year teaching I was ALL OVER THE PLACE! This year I think and I hope I started with the right foot! Well Here are my five!!

1.

I Launched my classroom's Blog! I think it will be super awesome and I'm thinking on letting some of my 21 friends do the posts..but NOT yet haha! We might wait couple months.

2.

           

We read Suki's Kimono and my teammate and I got super excited about JAPAN! We learned about schools in Japan and our biggest shock was when we learn that the children are the ones who clean the school! No janitors. In my class they clean up every time we eat snacks or work on certain activities...at the end of the day when other classrooms are a MESS mine is clean and ready for the next day thanks to my kids! :)

I finally had time to create something! I was so happy and my heart was filled of joy when I uploaded this product! I just loooove the letters! find them HERE!!!!

4. 

We played Number Line SCOOT! I grabbed this freebie from ANNA BRANTLEY. My kids loved it! I love to play I spy around my class and when I get to do I spy (Scoot) in my room I get ecstatic! Today was so much fun! I saw some friends struggling at the beginning but after a couple tries they got it and had tons of fun with it! I loved seeing them walking around, counting and having fun while learning and reviewing number lines! A total HIT!!

5. 

Today our read aloud was Wolf! A wolf who learned to read and write! We loved it so much that we made him as a puppet so they could read at home!! It wasn't in the lesson plan ;) BUT it turned out great! I wish I could have recorded them talking like a wolf!!! They crack me up ! I had an AMAZING Friday and I hope you all did too!!!
Now off to watch some Netflix! :)

Five for Friday! {Saturday}

Well I finished my first FULL week of school!!! WOOOHOOO!!  I got home last night and after a farewell party we were hosting I went to bed by 1:00am! :O So yea, that's my little excuse to link up today :( Anyhow...My kids are the BEST! Thanks doodlebugs teaching for hosting my FAVORITE link up! These are my 5!

1. 

I met my new 21 friends!!!!! They are super cool and super sweet! I love seeing how much they grow in firs grade! They walked into my room and they are tiny! I'm not that tall, but hey they grow a LOT ! On they one I showed them how first graders read to self! When they read to themselves they can flip their chairs!!!! They think is super cool and asked me ALL week if they could read on their own! 

2.

On Tuesday I showed my friends what EEKK was!!! They thought it sounded funny but they did such good job! They always made sure their elbows were touching each others and their knees were together! Ah I'm a happy teacher! 

3.

We read Chrysanthemum! I love this story and they did too! We read several books this week but we got to do a fun cute art project with this one!! I traced their names on strips of construction paper, then I gave each table different tissue paper (they said ewwwww when I said "I'll give you tissue paper"...thinking it was Kleenex!). I modeled how to rip the tissue paper, AND how big the little paper should be! I had some friends that glued an enormous piece on their name despite seeing that the pieces needed to be as big as their thumb! This took quite a long time but it was Friday! So I did not complain :)

4.

We had our FIRST Show and Tell!!!!!! IT WAS AMAZING! I gave them the chance to stand on my crate and give the class hints! We all needed to figure out what they had brought! They had so much fun and we got to learn things about each other! I have an all star in my class this year...and SEVERAL little pony fans! 

5.

This was one of the greatest things this week! One kindergarten teacher gave me this back seat pockets!!!! She just walked in my class and asked if I wanted to use them in my class this year! I have been looking for some but I just can't afford them!! I love them! It helps my kids be more organized and keep my tables clutter-free! Best-Day-EVER! 

Can't leave this one out! We had our first Spelling Test!! I love when they write! It brightens up my day!!! #itwassupposedtobeCRAB

Thanks for stopping by!!!
