Two for the Price of One!

Only a few more days until I will no longer be doing double posts. Make sure you've clicked over to Teaching with Grace and become a blogger. The 25th will be the last time that I do a double post.

Today, I have two different posts to share with you. The first is for next week: Washington or Lincoln?
It has great ideas for what you could do next week on Monday (if you don't have the day off) or Tuesday (if you do get the day off :) ). I hope you love them! I'm really excited about the Washington.

The second is to show you the great new things that I just listed on Teachers Pay Teachers! I am so excited about my two new activity units. They each have three different activities in them to help your lovelies practice their Friends of Ten number sense!

New TWG- Phonics are Phenomenal!

Don't forget to head on over to Teaching with Grace and follow my new blog so you can keep up with the news! Only another two weeks until I no longer post to this blog.

Phonics are something that, for me, were barely covered in my education classes in college. I think that I must have been raised during the 'sight word only' era. So having to teach and explain phonics are definitely very new to me. One of the ways that I have discovered is easiest for me to teach them is through music. When I was a Third grade teacher I never, ever would have thought that I'd love to sing to a whole group of students. But of course, we all know and love Dr. Jean.


Dr. Jean & Friends

BUT did ya'll know that she has a blog too!?!?!?! It's awesome! I love the song that she posted today. You definitely need to go check it out! What's better than singing about CVCs to the tune of the Wheels of the Bus?

I hope everyone had a great day today! My day was a tad hectic...you know, Mom being declared almost cancer free, son throwing up 4 times, having to get a last minute sub... all the normal stuff :) Here's hoping tomorrow is "more boring"!!



Have a blessed day,

Awesome weekend finds: Newest TWG post!

Check out the newest post over at Teaching with Grace

Happy Sunday everyone! I'm pretty stoked about the two finds that I just discovered on Pinterest. I loooove Pinterest! If you have an account, follow me! If you don't and you want one, just leave a comment with your e-mail address and I'll send you an invite! (I heard on the radio the other day that if you apply for an invite through Pinterest it is literally months before you'd get one. Crazy right?)



Anyways, below are the two awesome finds. I hope enjoy them! The first is a site with an incredible list of math literature for so many different topics and concepts. Check it out here!

One of the best things is that she keeps updating it and adding more books as she discovers them! This is definitely a K-5 must!
The second site is more for the lower grades but can definitely be adjusted to meet the upper grades too! Second Story Window has these awesome posts about Busy Bags for toddlers.


This is so great for beginning of the year Kindergarteners. Really, all year long it'd be great! I have several students right now (in the 3rd 9 weeks) that would benefit more from practicing their skills with this type of object instead of what I have them do now...Read to Self. One in particular who doesn't Read to Self... he does more Talk to Self... or Talk to Someone..... or Look at Wall.... or Look at Shoes... you get it ;) If you click on the linked picture, it will take you right to SSW's post where she has written directionson how to make ALL of the Busy Bags! Isn't that awesome? Thank you, thank you Second Story Window!!


Have a blessed day,
