Last Minute Gift Idea

Well, Christmas Day will soon be here!  I just wrapped up the last bit of Christmas shopping I needed to do.  I wanted to get my babysitter a nice little Christmas gift, so I had an idea....

A Basket of Goodies!!!

I went to my local Boutique and bought a CC infinity scarf from Frenzy and then went to Dollar General for the rest!  I picked up a cute basket, mug, and hot chocolate to finish up the gift. Here are some photos of the finished product!

I also snapped some photos of my Christmas decorations at my house!  I just love Christmas and my mom does a lot of my decorating!  Like the lantern in the photo below was totally her!  I am HORRIBLE at making bows!  Have a blessed and Merry Christmas!

Monday Made It!

Hello all! Well I am a little late on my Monday Made It, but here it goes.  First of all. my summer break is flying by!! It wont be too long before I have to start getting my classroom ready.  Anyway, I found a lot of goodies at Dollar Tree last week!  My Dollar Tree is on the other side of the town that I live in, so half of the time I forget that I have one! Below are pictures of what I found!

Here are some books that I picked at Dollar  Tree as well.Can you believe that? Books like this for $1?

Now here are some things I picked up for writing activities.  The "My Story" templates open up so that the kiddos can write their own story.  There are 10 to each package!

These pencils are only $1.99 for a box of 12! HERE is the link to purchase.  

Our school has adopted a new math curriculum. So, I am trying to plan my activities that will go with it.  Let's talk Math Workshop for just a minute.  Here is how I have done it in the past:

Warm-Up(5-10 min.)

Mini lesson(20 min.)

First Small Group(15 min)

Second Small Group (15 min)

Wrap Up (5 min.)

I have used a schedule like this when I only have 1 hour for Math.  Now there a million ways to teach math.  I have done a little differently each year.  Now that I am in third grade, I will be able to have a longer math block. What do you do during your math block? Please comment below!!

I love Write the Room activities!! I normally have my students rainbow write the words once they complete writing the words. 

I have also included a Life Cycle activity in this unit.

Monday Made It!

I absolutely love SUMMER!  My kids and I have had so much fun! Between water parks, swimming pools, and the Buffalo River, we have stayed busy!  I am so blessed to live where I do.  I am minutes away from the Buffalo River(if you haven't been you need to go and enjoy it).


I have been able to get a little crafty this summer with help from Brittany at aDOORable Life. First I made a really simple American Flag flower pot.  Then, I made some flameless fireworks.  Super simple, but so CUTE!

I also made some Flameless Fireworks by aDOORable Life.  She has such fun ideas!  It was very simple!   You can watch her video on how to make them HERE.

Since the 4th of July is about here, my store will be 20% off!! Happy Fourth! Click HERE to view my store!
