Growing a Garden of Learners

We are working hard this week.  My best teaching friend, Erica McKimmey and I have started team teaching our Science Mini Units!  We each spend a week teaching our own students and then we switch kids and teach the same unit again to each others students!  It is definitely one of our favorite parts of the last six weeks of school!  It is a great change for us and our little antsy learners!  This week is plants for me and weather for Erica!  Take a peek at my Mini Learning Unit on the Life Cycle of Plants!  It's super cute and an easy add on to my already growing unit!

It's just a click away!  You can get it at my TpT Store! 

We've also been working hard in my newest literacy station pack Grow, Garden, Grow!

Check out my little sweeties hard at work and don't forget to drop by my TpT to grab your station set!  It is a GARDEN of FUN!

It has been a busy weekend...and I have been doing lots, except what I probably need to get done!  My new Be Mine, Valentine Pack is finally finished!  This weekend I have started many tasks and have barely finished anything, although I did work on rebuilding my blog...I want it to be more user friendly and inviting and more like ME... and pink is my color of choice!  I love pink!

My Students Are 100 Days Smarter!!!

Well today we celebrated the 100th day of school and we were busy bees trying to get it all done before our pizza/movie party this afternoon!  This morning we read the room and wrote 100 words that we could read! The kids did a fabulous job and got to have a small treat as they finished up!  After a nice and breezy 70 degree recess {in January...and only in Missouri...as we like to say,} we created our 100th Day Headbands.  The kiddos decorated colored sentence strips with 100 decorations and then we stapled on our party hats...SO cute! 

You can find the template for the super cute party hat in my Celebrating 100 Days Station Pack on my TpT Store.  Here is the Link:

P.S. It is on sale through tonight!

After lunch we came back and did our party graph, played our roll and add games from my newest freebie and read some of my favorite 100th Day of School Books!

Here are just a few of our class favorites from today!

At the end of the day the class got to enjoy some yummy pizza and cookies in honor of our 100th Day!  We had an amazing day and topped it off with a Disney Classic!

So day 100 goes down and the books and we are officially on the count down to second grade!
