Five For Friday!

Hello all! I'm excited to be joining Doodle Bugs Teaching for the weekly linky party for the first time! It's Five for Friday y'all! On the computer this week: I have officially been out of school for 1 week today. And you know what? I kinda miss it :/ Already! So this week I have been working on my math curriculum that I am rewriting from scratch because we just can't seem to get it right. We have been using a mashup of Math in Focus, Envision, and Engage NY/Eureka for the past two years and we just don't like it. It's not for our school. The other members of my grade level team are not math peoples so I've taken over the task of creating something for our kiddos. I love it so far! It's going to be so much fun! And I've also been helping out a friend design her blog - a new hobby of mine.  This is what I have so far. I love the owls! In my life this week: Look what we got here- Boxes. Yep. I'm moving! I have ADHD when it comes to packing. I sta...

Weekly Summer Link-Up: My Goals for Summer

Whoop Whoop! It's summertime for me and I am beginning to thoroughly enjoy it. Yes, even the heat down here in South Louisiana. And it's only May! Here is a screen shot of our temps. Oh, and there's rain like everyday.  So I am linking up with I Heart Grade 3  for a Weekly Summer Link-Up: My Goals for Summer. I am excited about this! I love reading teaching blogs and I get so many wonderful ideas. A weekly Linky is just what I need to keep me blogging through summer.  1. Update products on TpT.  Some of my products are in serious need of a face lift. I haven't been able to devote as much time as I would like to my store because the end of the year is crazy! But now that school's out til August I can update and upload new products. Lots of fun things in mind!!  2. RELAX Yes, apparently I have problems doing this. Every time I sit down to relax, a thousand things bombard my brain that I need to do or haven't done or would like to do! Every. Single. Time.  But...

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Freebies for you! #becauseweloveteachers

It's May and that means it's Teacher Appreciation! I am so happy to be linking up with some AMAZING teacher bloggers for a extraordinary We Love Teachers Blog Hop! Let's get things started! I have a fabulous freebie for you today :) I would like to share with you one of my favorites units to teach at the end of the year. In this unit we talk all about different types of insects and learn about their life cycles and habitats and how they help our environment.  After reading many insect books, we go on a nature walk to find and document different insects around our school. They carry their Insect Journals with them and draw pictures and write descriptions.  We share our discoveries and talk about how the insects all share the same body parts. Then we get to design our own NEW insect using My Bug Book.  Click on any of the pics above to grab this Bug Book Freebie for yourself :) And if you want the whole unit, click below.  Now hop on over to visit with Tiffany at Shoel...
