Pumpkins, Pumpkins...



The teacher in me is trying really hard to be a good blogger, but man I am struggling!!!  This year has gotten off to a slow start...we are working hard on getting those small groups up and running and building independent workers, but it seems to be a bigger struggle than ever this year.  Sooooo...this pack was built to tie the common core standards into my work stations and to help keep those youngsters engaged for longer periods of time. 
You can stop by my TPT Store to download The Perfect Pumpkin Pack for some Pumpkin Good Times in your room!

Where Has Summer Gone?


Well I feel like I have neglected my blog.......because I have!  I am so sorry friends!  I am finally back and back to work!  Today I have been working on some crafty ideas that I have had for my classroom!  It was a lot of fun, but one blister (from the glue gun) and a cut on the finger (from scissors) later I am reminded why I am a teacher not a crafter!  Take a look at my cute new projects!

Calling All Movers...

So I got a wild hair this weekend and decided that I "needed" to rearrange my classroom and of course it couldn't wait, so I stayed late last night and got it all moved around, finished some minor cleaning and a tad bit of redecorating.  I am so excited...but as you all now the true test was how well it worked with my first graders.  They adapted really well to the change and all the "new spaces" around the room went really well during work stations!  As I finish up the short week I am going to be working on a Mother's Day Mini Unit.  I will get it uploaded as soon as I finish!  Hope everyone has had a Happy Tuesday!!!
