Teacher Idea Factory
It’s a miracle I tell ya! I finally finished my watermelon-flavored Back To School Pack. I have no idea what happened, but as the ever-popular Katie King would say, my “creative mojo” went missing. It took me nearly two weeks to get ‘er back, but I finally found it hiding in some dark and dingy corner. Good
School Spirit. I wanted to throw it out there today. More heads are SO MUCH better than one . . . especially when we are talkin’ about teachers 🙂 My principal and a group of teachers at our school are meeting tomorrow to discuss ways to increase school spirit and, in turn, improve attendance.

Summer is a heck of a time to come up with things to blog about. So, I have decided to start a special series – MOVE IT MONDAYS. Each week I will showcase a little something I have done in my classroom to get my kiddos up, moving, and learning. Thanks to the 3AM

Word! It’s going to hit 100 today in little old RB, so I am using this as the perfect excuse to work on my Back to School Unit all day. After our last teacher workday yesterday, I was “spent” for some reason and napped instead of getting down to business. We had a retirement luncheon
Hey gang! Pardon the late post. I went with the sci-fi lovin’ hubster to see Prometheus. Not the best movie around, but not the worst either. (I’ll take it over Event Horizon any day!) The cool thing was that it was my first 3D movie. I kept wanting to grab the “stars,” but I somehow
Well . . . that’s it. School is out for summer and it’s a little bittersweet. I enjoyed every moment with my little kiddies these last few days and although my body is oh-so happy it’s vacation, I miss them so much already. It was everything I could do to keep my act together yesterday.
We had a super turnout our First Grade Awards Night this evening. The classroom was packed and the kids were all “prettied” up. Before the night got underway, I began to launch into my annual thank you speech and the moment I opened my mouth, I turned into a blubbering idiot. I cried like a
