A new display is up in the hallway and I think it turned out super cute! I talked with my little friends about how they were going to be recommending a book to others. We thought about some of our favorite books and then turned and talked to our partners about what book we would recommending warming up with and why. Students were then dismissed to their seats and given the writing paper. It worked out better for my friends to do the writing before the craft. Once finished writing about the book they recommend, they assembled their mugs with hot chocolate and marshmallows. I printed everything on colored copy paper. I had everything precut for them to make it go smoother. Once finished they glued their writing onto their mugs. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-bm="109" src="https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Mec5a316d606004aa63895173b55a26f5o0&w=300&h=225&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0" /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well hello friends and Happy New Year to you all! Now that the tree and decorations are put away and I have a lot of extra time on my hands (more to come on why in a moment), I realized that I have not connected with my blogging buddies in quite some time and I've missed you all!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gosh, it has been way too long since my last post. Life gets so busy and crazy...and I don't know about you, but sometimes it's just about all I can do to keep my head above the water! It is easy to get overwhelmed trying to be everything to everyone. Nothing makes me happier than being a wife, mom, teacher, friend, sister, TP-er, blogger, etc. but sometimes it is necessary to take a step back to regroup, refocus, and recharge! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This winter break I learned that lesson even now more than ever! You will NOT believe what it took to force me to finally slow down. Let's just say it literally took my feet from being knocked right slap under me to give this gal a wake-up call! Can you keep a little secret if I fill you in on my latest shenanigan?! You see, sometimes I forget my age and get caught up in the fun around me and get a tad impulsive....well actually, a LOT impulsive!!! My friends and coworkers can vouch for me that I really am still a kid at heart! After all, you're only as old as you want to be...right?!? Enough procrastinating already...I'll go ahead and spill the beans! As fate had it, I took a VERY short spin on this season's hottest toy....the HOVERBOARD...and you guessed it...I had a very nasty #hoverboardfail! In fact, that very painful fall left me with a very painful broken wrist! :( </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This past Wednesday I had quite an extensive surgery to repair my "destroyed" left wrist. It required some metal hardware: a plate, some screws, and pins. But the good news is that I'm put back together and now on the road to recovery. I'm not even going to sugar-coat it...a broken wrist and wrist surgery is quite painful yall! Needless to say, I have done quite a lot of lying around, catching up on my favorite shows I had on DVR, checking out my favorite bloggers, and enjoying some amazing meals that has been delivered to our home by my sweet family and friends. In the midst of it all, we've been blessed! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With that being said, I'm so excited about 2016!!! It is going to be a year of balance, focus, new creations, and success-both at home and school! I can just feel it! I've spent the last week brainstorming and making major to-do lists! I'm pumped up about being the best me that I can possibly be. Slowing down has forced me to examine areas in my life that I must work on. I don't want to set unrealistic goals for this new year, because I know me. If things don't end up as planned, I really beat myself up about it. So I've settled on three areas I can commit to focusing on this year: working on my health with cleaner eating and exercise, blogging and reconnecting with my amazingly talented teacher friends, and creating some new effective products that I can use and share with you guys too! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy New Year, friends and pray for a speedy recovery!!! :)</span><br />

This definitely works best with a small group of students... 3 or 4 at the most. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZIVMx7FCAooZbIuG8Y-juiNjZIS1IZgJcZNQETsc8j8sG_4Y_9sD4KrR8WehtvOTGIeUvaaa15SxWBOzI-NbdSIo6BnrINN7hbHEL1thE2peCsOgfcglbIWN5xWaEMm2sDLES0x_X2LA/s1600/findthesightword.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZIVMx7FCAooZbIuG8Y-juiNjZIS1IZgJcZNQETsc8j8sG_4Y_9sD4KrR8WehtvOTGIeUvaaa15SxWBOzI-NbdSIo6BnrINN7hbHEL1thE2peCsOgfcglbIWN5xWaEMm2sDLES0x_X2LA/s1600/findthesightword.jpg.jpg" height="522" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Choose 3 words that they have not mastered. Write those words on a poster board or large sheet of paper. Tell students that they will learn 3 new words. Begin with the 1st word at the top of the board - <u>and</u>. Say "this is <u>and</u>" while pointing to the word <u>and</u>. Then say "say <u>and</u>" and have students repeat it back to you. Continue for the other 2 words. On the first day with this intervention tell students to find a word. Continue until all words have been found and covered. This will help students recognize the words. The next day you will begin working on having students identify the words. Point to a word on the board and ask a student what the word is. If the student can read the word, they can cover it with a "duck tape coverer thingy." Whatever color they choose the first time is what they use the rest of the time. I like to use these because they don't tear or crumple and instead of writing on the board and having to throw the board away you can keep it to use over and over again. If they can't read it go to the next friend. When all the words on the board are completely covered you can count and see who read the most words. <br />
<br />
Here's a close up of the duck tape thingys. I just cut the duck tape and fold in half.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I decided to decorate my classroom with the Boho Birds by Carson-Dellosa.

I attached each little birdie to velcro. I'll write everyone's name on a bird and each day they will start at the green birdhouse and move down to the next branch if needed. And YES there are 27 little birdies because that's how many little friends I'll have next year. That is if no more show up to register:)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a "home made" it this time to start off. Today was my first day of summer break so I need a wee little time to get away from school thinking. I'm sure you saw the lovely kitchen at the beginning of the post. When we bought our house we decided it had good "bones" but needed some cosmetic TLC. That kitchen was too much for this gal to handle so we ripped off all of the rainbow fish tiles and pulled up the old countertops. </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And to keep with the theme of the house and to unify the kitchen and living space, I'm</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">assuming, the former owners tiled the fireplace in the lovely rainbow fish themed tile. No kidding... neighbors have told us that they had fish rugs in front of the fireplace. We took down all of the tile.....</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and I tiled it up with a more neutral color. The tile was super cheap at Lowe's and I think it only cost around $200 to resurface the fireplace. Now we have a made over kitchen and fireplace. </span></span></div>

I loved the book and the students did too. Since then Mrs. Wishy-Washy has been dear to my heart and is always read each year with my kinder sweeties. When Hameray Publishing contacted me about doing a review of a Mrs. Wishy-Washy book, I jumped at the chance. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">We began by reading <em>Wishy-Washy Clothes</em>. Then it was time for a little acting to help us retell the story. I made these little necklaces for the "actors" to wear to show their character from the story. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">After everyone got into character, we did a quick reread of the story to remind them of their parts and we got to acting. They had a ball and it was amazing how quickly they were all able to retell the story after a couple of act it out sessions.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzGnp7ZmjK5yhq7dEiJ9nrATzTZSDf0ISHzl2kv5zD0upz8UemCOS7F9NfZWCwqC8EvpEIfEaPr9EE5QKJyfUltR0x9rcGQ7LVWX71YffbTKm2FSp9E5lMnFUCFiCIrsCWq4DQrYcLQFE/s1600/actitoutwishywashy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dua="true" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzGnp7ZmjK5yhq7dEiJ9nrATzTZSDf0ISHzl2kv5zD0upz8UemCOS7F9NfZWCwqC8EvpEIfEaPr9EE5QKJyfUltR0x9rcGQ7LVWX71YffbTKm2FSp9E5lMnFUCFiCIrsCWq4DQrYcLQFE/s400/actitoutwishywashy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Wishy-Washy Clothes</em> was also a great book for us to talk about onomatopoeia and practice it during the act it out sessions with "Moo!", "Oink!" and "Quack!". We were also able to locate a few past tense verbs that went along great with our grammar lesson we've been working on.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The other book we read was <em>Mrs. Wishy-Washy and the Big Wash.</em></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv89SCS5koKIKVlkMAuTRSoIB2I02GAY4OdCgagtaJ_8HinxDwQ3lpOA5NYlIX2Jj2i6AdsRXuzjJaxkyLm1TsGT2QBOAW2RaY2nW2KfIal93oz7AnCRYlynRQHYZnnuJL3rMo3WU4Hx0/s1600/MWW+Big+Wash_800px2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dua="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv89SCS5koKIKVlkMAuTRSoIB2I02GAY4OdCgagtaJ_8HinxDwQ3lpOA5NYlIX2Jj2i6AdsRXuzjJaxkyLm1TsGT2QBOAW2RaY2nW2KfIal93oz7AnCRYlynRQHYZnnuJL3rMo3WU4Hx0/s320/MWW+Big+Wash_800px2.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We used this book to practice our summarizing skills by telling who the story was about, what happened, when it happened and where the story took place. Here's our summarization chart for the book. **Excuse the error in Washy on the chart please and the blurriness of the photo. I didn't even notice that I had written Mrs. Wishy-Wishy instead of Wishy-Washy until I got home and uploaded the pic so I tried to "fix" it but it's not looking too great. Sorry about that! </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then we use the chart to write a one sentence summary. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Our sentence was: Mrs. Wishy-Washy, the cow, the pig, and the duck left the farm and went to find water during the day at the bookstore, music store, bakery and car wash.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He's helping my little kinder friends out with addition. There's something about giving that plus sign a head and body that seems to make it instantly click that anytime we see a plus sign it tells us to add. Hey! Whatever it takes! I've really been reinforcing the concept of addition with lots and lots of hands on addition. Today each sweetie got a Ziploc baggie with numeral cards 0-5, a plus sign, and a equal sign along with 9 dinosaurs or teddy bear counters. Working alongside their math partners, they turned over 2 number cards and created an addition sentence using the number cards and the plus and equal sign. Then they solved the problem using the counters. Boo to not having any pictures! I never have my camera ready when I need it:( Oh well, I'll snap some next time. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've been playing this with some of my sweeties to work on mastering these sight words. It's cheap and easy and they LOVE it! The silver pots are from the Dollar Tree and came in a pack of 3 or 4. Can't remember for sure. The tape is green electrical tape and is just taped on the pot. Then I just write down the words I want to focus on. I tell them to close their eyes. (For some reason this makes everything fun to them.) While their eyes are closed, I slip the leprechaun coin under a pot. They open their eyes and I slide the pots around on the tray. They take turns reading a word off of a pot and turning the pot over to see if they can find the leprechaun's loot. If they can't read the word correctly, they don't get to look under the pot.</span></div>

<i><br /></i>
<i>This is going to be a quickie post. I'm trying to do this from my iPhone for the first time ever. We're traveling to Charleston for my sister-in-law's wedding this weekend so no school for this chick-a-dee today. School is still definitely on the brain apparently. Isn't it always for us teachers though? I worry like crazy about my sweeties when I'm not there. Anyways just wanted to share a couple of pics I have of some of our St. Patrick's Day Centers this week. I've not been great with taking pics this week:(.</i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And here it is Sunday evening so obviously it didn't get posted on Friday. I couldn't get the pictures to upload to my blog post through my phone. Sometimes technology makes me just wanna scream. Lord knows I love it and couldn't live without it but many times I'm left feeling inept. So courtesy of my trusty desktop computer I bring you the following pics.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Students roll the die, count the shamrocks, find the shamrock on the recording sheet with the number and dab it with the green bingo dabber.

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The <em>Count and Write the Room</em> are 2 weekly staples that you can find my students working on while I'm working with groups. The themes change weekly but you will almost always find a <em>Read and</em> <em>Write the Room</em> and <em>Count the Room </em>center being utilized each day in my classroom. My little friends love them. It's really the best of both worlds. They are up and moving and purposeful learning is occurring at the same time. If you are interested in getting these centers along with 3 other Circus Cat themed ones, click <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Circus-Cat-in-a-Hat" target="_blank">here</a> or on the pic below. There are a total of 6 centers (3 math and 3 literacy) included.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I introduced you all to my oldest daughter the other day and thought I'd share a pic that has all my family in it. Minus the dog. **Side Note** If anyone has tried and true methods for training a dog to always poop and pee pee outside, PLEASE tell me! Poor little Baylee is going to end up spending most of her life in a small confined space of our house if she doesn't get it together. She's definitely not the brightest bulb in the chandelier but we love her all the same. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My little sweeties are always forgetting to raise their hands for permission to speak out and it's been about to drive.me.plumb.CRAZY! Enter the handy, dandy ..... ("Did you say I can win a prize?") Blurt Chart! I saw this <a href="http://a2ndgradeadventure.blogspot.com/search?q=blurt+chart" target="_blank">Blurt Chart</a> awhile back and decided to whip one up. Mine is not as cute but it serves its purpose. Thank the good heavens! Here's how it works in my room. Each number represents a child. Beside each number I have one blank post<span style="font-size: large;">-</span>it note. The original chart I saw used 3 but I needed less to offer that more instant gratification feel for my little ones. Whenever someone blurts out they have to go remove the post<span style="font-size: large;">-it </span>beside their name. Whichever student is the last one with a post it left beside their name is the winner and gets a special treat! Do you ever have a problem with your students blurting<span style="font-size: large;">?</span></span></span><br />
