I'm so excited that this is Thursday and my friend Kristi from Pelicans and Pipsqueaks and I are launching our monthly link-up of teacher thoughts!  Thoughts on Thursday is a weekly teacher blog link up where we talk about our thoughts on a specific subject. Sometimes we'll talk about classroom stuff, and sometimes we'll talk about life in general. You may even grab a freebie or two along the way ;) It has been a wild month of August and I am beyond ready to get back into the swing of things. So this month - Football!! So it won't come as any surprise, but living in Baton Rouge, I'm a little bit of a Tigers fan. Just a little. No, of course my closet doesn't consist of ALL purple and gold. There is some black. And pink. I may or may not own solid gold shoes with purple laces. I can neither confirm nor deny that when I go shopping I look for shoes and jewelry that match my game day outfits. Yeah, okay. I mean, just look at all this wonderfulness! Who doesn't...

Hi guys! How's your summer going? Mine has started off with a bang and hasn't stopped. I'm linking up today with The Primary Punchbowl to share my classroom move this coming fall. Many members of the Punchbowl are changing up jobs this year. Elisabeth from Literacy and Lattes wrote a great anchor post HERE so check it out. Well my principal had been asking me since October if I would take the Video Production job at my school. My master's is in educational technology so it is my dream to eventually teach technology or coordinate technology somewhere. I put it off and put it off and kept telling myself "There's no place like first, there's no place like first!" "I can't add past 30!" "I'm so comfortable here!" "I don't know anything about Video Production!"  "Sixth graders are so big!"  "What do you mean they don't like stickers?" Sooooooo.....I thought and prayed and thought and prayed...

Hi friends! It's Five for Friday time again with Doodle Bugs Teaching! It's been a really busy week and I think it will not slow down until AFTER the new year! I absolutely love this time of year. Everything everywhere is designed to fill your heart with love and kindness. I hope you are feeling it, too! Let's get started!   This week our elf in the classroom showed up! After reading the book, the kids got to choose a name for him. We had quite the selection, but in the end they voted on Chippy. This one was my favorite! Darth Elf! And he has been quite naughty. The kids love him and they are so excited to come in everyday and look for him. The other day he changed all of our screens.  My classroom door is also elf themed!  It's finally December!! It's my favorite month!  I wait all year and it's here. The city is always decorated with tinsel, wreaths, and lights. There are events practically everyday, and everybody sends out Christmas Cards!! I will more than l...

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving filled with food, family, and fun!  I am happy to be linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday! It's been awhile but I'm thinking the time is right to join this linky party again!  I've had an eventful Thanksgiving break, from the flu, to product planning, to Black Friday shopping, to tree decorating - it has been full!  Thanksgiving was so great! We had lots of fantastic food and family time. I love this time of year because I do live two hours away from my family and it's hard to find time to drive in during the school year so every holiday I try to make a trip to Alexandria to see everyone.   FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!! The best part about Thanksgiving? Leftovers!!  My sister and I had fun working with her Cricut and some glitter vinyl making our 2015 Black Friday shirts for us!  It was a lot of work so this isn't something we will be doing a lot of!! But aren't we just adorabl...
