This is an awesome poem!
It is called,
Ode to the Copyrighted Feline!
It is written by a lady at 
Teaching Resource Resort!
It describes exactly how I have
been feeling about
"He who can not be mentioned"!

Check it out here!

Happy Birthday to the Copyrighted Feline!




I am linking up with Denise to show 
everyone my classroom setup!
Only, I have zero new pictures
without the kiddos and I wasn't

Blends, Shapes, 3 Little Freebies, 4 Giveaways & 1 Sale!


The winner for best teacher is....
Photo: And the winner....of the Best Teacher Award....goes to....YOU!  Have a great week!

YOU!

Totally took this idea from
Teacher Tipster!




In March we begin our Nutrition Unit.
Here is a sneak peek of one 
activity I do with the kiddos!
They give me a quote that I add 
to their milk mustache picture.
Add a "Got Milk?" label
and you have a mini poster!

We hang ours in the 
cafeteria right above the milk! 



I send them home afterwards
with a magnet attached so they
can hang them on the fridge!


I added a couple of new ideas
to my blends and shapes lessons!
I found several of these on a neat new blog!

First Grade Buddies

Hop on over and meet
Tamra & Sarah!



They used magazines and
had the students search for
an assigned blend.  The students
glued these to a square.
One of the ladies made a quilt, 
the other hung them from her
classroom clothesline.

Funny from a Honey

Last night we went out to dinner for
my in-laws 50th anniversary, after their
open house.  After eating two bites, my

My teeth are tired!"
Cracks me up!
