A New Look.....Again!

Due to some feedback, 

Tessa and I changed my design!

What do you think???

Friday Flashback! Mrs. Short Was Missing!

My sweet sub, Terry, took pictures!

She had a lot of fun with the My Teacher is Missing

activities and said the kids had a blast!

The sweethearts wanted to go look for me

and were asking other staff if they had seen me!

Working on the Inference Investigation!

Filling out the organizer for their 

fiction story about their missing teacher!

A couple stories!

 Ha! She's probably in the bathroom!

 It could be good, it could be both, it could be bad.

Well we will see soon.

CRACKS ME UP!

(Note to self: Put in lesson plans the story is a

fiction story, using their imaginations! My sub

thought it was supposed to be about the investigation!)

I ended up being gone for just half a day.

Mom brag moment:

My oldest daughter was inducted into the

National Honor Society this morning!

VERY PROUD! :)

Back to the day!  
I was in the classroom when they

returned from lunch.  Oh...my...word.....they

have NEVER been so glad to see me!

I got hugs (LOOONNNNGGG HUGS) from just about

every kiddo and of course, they NEEDED to know

where I was and if they were right!

The graphs showed there was a tie between

at a meeting and shopping!  A couple votes for sick

in bed.  NO ONE thought I was on a plane headed for

a beach! :)

If you would like these activities they are available in

my tpt store!

New Blog Design: Seeing Stripes!

Zebra Stripes that is!

Check out my new blog
designed by Tessa at Tales from Outside the Classroom!

 

Isn't it SWEET!!!!

Tessa did a wonderful job and she
is just starting out with a blog design business
 if you can believe it!!!

Here is the link to her design blog!



I am in love with my new blog!

THANK YOU TESSA!


In honor of my new blog
I am showing off my stripes!

I have a slight obsession............

Safari jeep for read to self or read to someone!

Second favorite place to read....the loft is their favorite!

Storage bench for the read to someone 

stuffed animals and a fun place to sit and read!

MESSY desk!  One storage container is for
papers I use all the time.

The other holds smellies!  It was a Christmas
gift from a sweet student!  They know what I like!! :)

(Smellies are flavored chapsticks I put on their right hand if
they get a purple or pink day.  They LOVE those things!)
Not sure where the idea originated!

Life sized ten frame!

I sure hope it comes up easily at

the end of the school year!

Clip chart....though I really like
Love & Logic and
Whole Brain Teaching and
use those too!

My personal ipad and school laptop 
both have zebra print background!

My oldest is developing a love of stripes too!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my new blog design....
and my love of zebra print!  :)

However....

Besides accessories, I do not wear zebra stripes!
I have to draw the line somewhere! :)




Have a good night!

Random Photo Moment

 I tend to make strange, goofy faces....quite often....
Some will NEVER see the light of day
but here is one of the less...dare I say scary?!

 

(I did NOT want that sombrero put on my head!)

I am not a true germaphobe BUT

who knows how many heads that thing has been on???
