<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another school year is upon us and it's time for B2S frenzy. This summer my family has been just spending lots of QT time and resting up for the upcoming school year. Our schedules are about to get busy between back to school, parent nights, Aubree starting Pre-K (yes, my baby will be in Pre-K) and 2 a days for my husbands football team start Monday. Whew!! Knowing all of that I wanted to get a jump start on a few things for some sweet teacher friends in my life. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First up: Aubree's suuuuper sweet Pre-K teacher. Aubree has gone to her "school" since she was 6 weeks old. All of the teachers have just loved her and cared for her. Her teacher for this school year is so sweet and so patient and we are so excited Aubree is in her class. For a small token of appreciation and a "welcome back" gift I put together a cute little gift. The idea came from one of my sweet first graders this past year. It was one of my faves. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I purchased a plastic, easy open canister from Walmart, put some candy in the bottom and then arranged some Sharpie fine point markers on top. (Which Walmart has a 21 pk for 8.98 right now) </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I tied some tulle around it and attache <b><u><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Tag-It-Tags-For-Teachers-Growing-Bundle-2512154" target="_blank">THIS</a></u></b> cute little tag to the top. Aubree can't wait to give it to her. I hope her teacher knows how much we appreciate her. :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Next up is my sweet student teacher. I am soooo excited to be getting another student teacher, but this one y'all I know will just be a blessing to me and my students. Her mom is a friend of mine and old teacher partner. I knew I wanted to show her how excited I was that she was going to be in my room this fall. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">just wanted to stop by super quick for a fun little fall idea to bring a little excitement to your reading time. I </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">have several kiddos in my class that need to be challenge and pushed to the next level in reading. They are reading above level and are just naturally good readers who are fast learners. They necessarily don't need me day to day listen to their reading, model breaking apart words, etc. I really like to do book clubs with them and really make them accountable for their reading. </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> All over Pinterest there are TONS of projects for kids involving pumpkins. My higher readers have been focusing on character traits and retelling stories they have read so I wanted to incorporate that somehow. I came across "pumpkin book character" projects that were just precious! So creative and so fun! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After we recorded what we already knew about apples we dove right in to learning new things. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have been talking about adjectives for a short time and describing apples are a great way to have them practice using adjective. I like to start their sentence by saying "apples ARE....." so that they are going to telling me about apples and not what they have. That's helps them say an adjective instead of a noun. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After using our adjective words we came up with, I had the students make a directed drawing of an apple. Step by step with me, they drew an apple. I let them pick what color they wanted to color it (red, yellow or green) so we would have some variety. Then they wrote simple sentences describing their Apple. </span></div>

We are getting our procedures and routines down, diving into curriculum and starting daily 5 and guided math! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thursday afternoon was our annual Meet The Teacher. This is one of my favorite days. I love meeting all of my new firsties, and seeing their excitement about school starting makes me excited! The afternoon always goes by so fast and when it's over I always feel like I've been hit by a bus. A bus of 22 6 year olds. 😄 It was a great afternoon and my class is just the cutest! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">WHOA!! Is it really the middle of August??? I really love this time of year, even though it is extremely crazy in my neck of the woods. As many of you know, my husband is a high school football coach and with that brings a crazy fall schedule. I'm one of those "I never miss a game" and I wouldn't have it any other way! It is so much fun! Last week my little family took football pictures... while waiting for our session I snapped this jewel! :) </span></div>
<br>
<img height="400" src="https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/11885132_10101497022122848_7572508281097092574_n.jpg?oh=cde1500100b4ad4efb4a0f6844ce8d8c&oe=5681B0E9" width="400"><br>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She is soooo ready for football season. Her happy place is on the sidelines! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since the first day of school is a week from tomorrow (August 24th) for me, I thought I would go ahead a prep my back to school teacher gift for Aubree's preschool teacher. We have been blessed for 3 years now with wonderful, sweet, generous teachers. We are so lucky! I saw <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/157555686940898687/" target="_blank">this</a> adorable idea on pinterest and decided it would be perfect for Aubree's new teacher! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found the cute pink bucket at Hobby Lobby in the summer section and then I just made my way through Walgreens picking up anything I could find that was pink that I thought her teacher would like. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I placed it all in the bucket, added a tulle bow and a tag! Super simple and I know she'll love it. As a teacher, I know how much thoughtful gifts are appreciated. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I just wanted to stop by and share with you some things I do for "Meet the Teacher" night at my school. We have an afternoon the week before school starts that parents and students may come up to tour the school, bring up their school supplies and meet their child's teacher. It is a fun afternoon! I'm always so excited to meet my new students and parents. It is also so nice to get their school supplies unpacked and organized and ready to go on the first day of school. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Now that everyone is thinking Back to School, I thought I would share my bulletin boards that I am prepping for the new year. I keep them up during the summer! So glad my school lets us do that. It saves so much time when we head back to school. I haven't changed the board itself, just got it ready for my new class. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On the outside of my room is one of the boards that I hang student work. I used fabric for the back and scrapbook paper and clothes pins to hang the work on. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I know posting learning objectives are nothing new, but for the last couple of years it wasn't a "have to". Until now! I knew when we learned that we would have to post our learning objectives I wanted to have them easily accessible, I didn't want to have to write a ton and I wanted them student friendly. Vague enough where I wasn't changing them constantly, but focused! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My white board and smartboard is something I use ALL. THE. TIME so I knew I didn't want to cover that up or use space on it with my objectives, so I had to change some wall space to make room for my objectives. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I must admit I used to not like teaching writing. *gasp* I did it and I did it the best I could, but I knew there was always a better way. After several years I realized it wasn't my lessons that were causing the issue, it was the way I organized my writer's workshop supplies. I was fortunate enough to work with one of the most sweetest people on the planet my first couple of years, who also so happened to be a phenomenal writing teacher. Lucky me!! I remember always wanting to watch her teach writing and I was always picking her brain for her writing ideas. From her came my "writer's toolkits"</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My toolkits are <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50022354/" target="_blank"><b>simply magazine holders</b></a> from IKEA (5 for $2). All of my students are assigned a number at the beginning of the year. I label things in my classroom with that number for a couple of reasons... 1. I can reuse them year after year. 2. If someone moves and I get a new student I don't have to change pictures or names, I just slide them in to that spot. Makes my life way easier during the year. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have my students keep their toolkits on a shelf, that way they are easily accessible. They can go grab them after my mini-lesson during writing or they may use these during Work on Writing during Daily 5. Also like that my students can take their toolkit and write anywhere in the room and they will have everything they need with them. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Inside my toolkits--- I keep a folder (which they keep the piece they are publishing in there along with writing paper), their composition book (which is used for pre-writing and drafting). A spell check page which came from a spelling resource a couple years back and then a phonics dictionary resource that came with our phonics program and a nice sharpened pencil (so they are ready to write). Through out the year they add things to their toolkits, i.e. mini anchor charts from mini-lesson, thematic vocabulary words, etc. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My writing bulletin board: </b>I use this as a way of keeping track of where my students are in the writing process. Now, the process doesn't necessarily go in this order every time and many of my students bounce back and fourth from one stage to the other. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I take and print all of my students pictures and glue them on jumbo popsicle sticks. It takes several weeks, months to teach the entire process, but I like for my students to "publish" a story at least once a 6 weeks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They simple place their picture in the pocket of the stage they are at. Either pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing or publishing. So as I am conferencing with students during writer's workshop I can easily look up at the bulletin board and know where each of my students are in regards to their writing piece. For example, if Johnny's picture is at pre-wrting I know he is drawing or making a bubble map, etc, and if Sally's picture is at editing I know I want to conference with her before Johnny because that is a more difficult task for them and I will need to get her started. Hope that makes sense. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My students are responsible for bringing 2 things to and from school during the week. Their take home notebook and their reading folder. These 2 things are my way of keeping my students organized and also staying in touch with their parents, whether it be grades, work or behavior.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I use 1/2 inch binders.

These are used for notes, homework and their <a href="http://www.cooleschool.com/primary.html" target="_blank">planner</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When they arrive in the mornings they unload lunch money, signed notes, etc. and put them in my dropbox (just a basket on my table) and then place their notebooks on the entry shelf in number order. It is an easy way for me to see who is here or not and keeps them from having to put it in their desk and take up space. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In the rings they keep their <a href="http://www.cooleschool.com/primary.html" target="_blank">planner</a>. The planners are paid for through the schools supply fee that is collected at the beginning of the year. Not all teachers use them so if a teacher wants them they are bought with her classroom supply fee money, which can also be used for construction paper ect. A class set runs about $75.00. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On Friday's my students take home their "Friday folder" This is just a colored file folder that they keep in their desk. As I give out graded work or they finish things I want them to take home and not turn in they will slide it into their "Friday Folder". I grade things the same day they turn them in. It helps with feedback and it keeps me from having a stack of papers to grade on the weekend. That is one thing I do before I leave school. Has made my life so much easier. It also keeps me from having a stack of papers to hand out and their parents receive their work each week so they can see how they are doing, but it doesn't make their take home notebook messy. They take them home on Friday's and returned emptied the following Monday. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Their reading folder is kept separate because I like for them to turn these in and bring them to my guided reading table when they come during Daily 5 time. I like to check reading logs, change out vocabulary or sight words that child might be working on, etc. At one time, I put their take home book and reading log with their notes and things, but it got to clunky when they would bring it to my table and one folder really wasn't big enough for all that I wanted them to use it for. I will be back later with how I organize their reading folders. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to get ahead this summer to make my life easier during the school year, because the Laymance schedule is about to get crazy with daddy's high school football coaching schedule.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In years past, my kids have always been a fan of sunglasses. They are always the first to go when they spend their earned behavior tickets, so I knew I wanted to incorporate them when I was making their birthday gifts this year. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Every summer while I have some free time I like to look through my files and see what I want to keep for next year, what I need to throw out, and what I need to give a little update. I have used the same nightly reading log and A.R. log for quite some time now. They got the job done of course, but were bland. I decided to keep them simple, but just update them a little. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This log is for the students to write on to log their A.R. scores on after they take a quiz, so I wanted to keep it super simple and not clutter it. I like to keep track of their A.R. points and scores. I am looking for a great way to show off when they get to certain A.R. points. If you have an idea you love I would love to here about it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I keep both of these in my students reading folder. I will be back in a few weeks with how I keep folders, take home notebooks, and different subjects journals organized. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also wanted to update my school teacher webpage for the new school year. Every year, each 6 weeks I normally have to update it with the objectives for that 6 weeks. An low and behold, 2 weeks in to the new 6 weeks I remember I have to update it! So I decided I wanted to have the entire year up from the beginning. 1. I don't have to remember to update it every 6 weeks. 2. Parents see our entire year at glance. Because I send home sight words, spelling list, etc. as they are learning them, so I didn't really want to flood the page with a ton of words. So I made the 6 objective pages for each of the 6 weeks in our school year. I kept them some what broad to leave myself some leniency week to week, but I also wanted them to have some focus of what they big ideas were that we were learning. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This summer, reading was not on my "oh I can't wait to do that" list. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I'm just going to say it... I'm not a reader. For the most part I don't enjoy it, unless it's a children's book. I love children's books, all kinds! I flip through magazine every now, but for the most part the only reading I do is to Aubree and to my class. Which I love! After coming across <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Move-Your-Bus-Extraordinary-Accelerating/dp/1501105035" target="_blank">Ron Clark's new book- <u>Move Your Bus</u></a> on Instagram, reading all of the great things teachers were saying about it, I knew I had to check it out! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I got it in the mail Monday. I didn't have time to sit down to read it till Tuesday at 1:00 and finished it 2 hours. It is a great read and so, so spot on! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Every work place has people that are described in the book. As I was reading I kept thinking, "I'm a jogger, wait, I might be a runner. Oh no! I'm a walker!!" I really hope this school year I'm a runner and our bus flies and I'm the driver in a classroom full of runners! If you have checked it out yet, it's a MUST read this summer! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In other news...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For quite some time now I have been creating things for my classroom. I have always wanted to take the plunge and open a TPT, but never had the courage. The other day I saw a quote that said "Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle". Immediately I thought of how I have always wanted to be a TPT seller like other bloggers, but didn't know where to start. After reading that quote I decided it was time and I had to start somewhere. So I updated my TPT account from just a buyer to a seller. I am slowly uploading things I have made, and hopefully soon it will grow and I will be able to share all of my products with you all! I would love you to <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Jaymee-Laymance" target="_blank">FOLLOW ME</a> on my journey! </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello first Friday in July!?! Boy did that get here fast! I love the 4th of July weekend! We also make great family memories, and I'm looking to our festive celebrations tomorrow with the family! So grateful to live in our great nation!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of days ago I discovered a wonderful drive thru safari about an hour from my house. How on earth I hadn't heard of it till now is beyond me!?! My husband has a few weeks off this summer (High School football coach) so we took the day to take Aubree to the safari and OMG! it was awesome!! We had the best time! The animals were so calm and just walked up to the car. When you check in they give you food to give out to all of the animals. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last summer I bought Aubree a new backpack from a shop on ETSY called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/193190768/girls-full-size-backpackblack?ref=shop_home_active_22" target="_blank">Four Loves</a>! It was quite possibly the cutest backpack I've ever seen was the perfect size for her nap mat, etc. I'm in the process of ordering another one for this year. Cause ya know, a girl needs a new bag every school year, right??</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My birthday was last week and I got a Fitbit Flex! Y'all, I'll be the first to admit it, I DO NOT like to work out! I watch my meal portions and call it a day. I went back and forth on getting one because the basic is around 100 buck and for someone who doesn't workout, I didn't want to waste my money. But it is so neat and does so much more than count steps! I track calories, water in take, my sleep pattern AND you can add friends and have challenges! So fun, love some friendly competition! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm linking up with Farley over at <a href="http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2015/06/currently-july-2015.html" target="_blank">'Oh Boy 4th Grade</a> for a little July Currently! Can you already believe it is July!?! Wal-Mart is getting out their back to school isle and Hobby Lobby is getting out their Christmas decor! HA! Go figure! Here's what I'm up to currently!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Listening:</b> One of my favorite sounds is my sweet, sweet 3 year old's voice! Its so soft and just so sweet! It's looking a little cloudy outside today so we built a blanket fort in the livingroom and she has brought out every little castle and princess she could find to put in our fort. She has a great imagination and is just having the best time! I love listening to her play!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Loving:</b> SUMMER!!! I love summer! Everything about it! Sleeping late, slowly sipping coffee, no packing lunches, no rushing out the door, no daycare drop off..... I could go on for a while! I love how low-key it is. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thinking:</b> While it is so low key and we really don't get too much done during the day besides relaxing, shopping, playing, eating, traveling my back to school to-do list grows by the second. I have a hard time shutting off my teacher brain. I keep a post it note pad on my side table so when I think of something to print, organize, or do I can quickly jot it down. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wanting:</b> I live in TX and like most of the south, the days are HOT. I am really wanting to spend time outside, but its so hot and humid. I am really wanting a pool in my backyard right now!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Needing:</b> Now that July is here, and I am teaching summer school this year (2 weeks before school starts) I am needing to get busy on crossing things off my to-do list! :) I'm also needing a new blog design... which I am anxiously waiting for!!! Can't wait for Parker at <a href="http://pjsdesignlaboratory.blogspot.com/p/hire-me.html" target="_blank">P.J design laboratory</a> to send me the first draft!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>All Star:</b> KINDNESS. I think I'm an all-star at spreading kindness and helping out! I love to chip in and help whenever I can. I think it's so important to show kindness, not only to people you know, but to complete strangers as well! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Let me dust off my blogging keyboard right quick. My last several blog post have started with "Wow, it's been a while..." or "Long time, no see...". With all honesty, the only thing getting in the way of me and my computer is... life. Fun, memory filled life. As many of you know I have a now *three* year old daughter. </span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She keeps me so busy, and I have not found how to manage time with her in the evenings after school, keep my house clean, making it to my husbands sporting events AND blog about what goes on in my classroom. I'm going to *promise* to try and get better because I love blogging. I love looking back and remembering all of the fun we had during the school year, but I also want to look back and say "I'm so glad I did that with Aubree" or "I'm glad I didn't miss that because I had my computer in my lap". So for now I'm going to blog when time is good and hopefully it is more often than just in the summer time. :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Moving on. Every summer, I prep Back to School or Meet the Teacher gift for my new class. This is one of my favorite things to do. One of my favorite things about teaching is getting a new class each year. I always look forward to meeting them. Our meet the teacher is the Thursday before school starts. All of my little firsties come loaded down with all of their new school supplies, with big grins on their faces. I hope they are just as eager to meet me, as I am them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In years past, I have spent a TON of money. Loaded up little treat boxes, made bracelets, bought candy, etc. You name it, I've done it. This year I decided to go the simple, cheap route. I decided on bubbles. You got it, bubbles!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of the things on the top of my summer to-do list was to give my bulletin board outside of my room a facelift. When I moved into my new room last summer (you can read about that </span><a href="http://www.adventuresoffirstgrade.blogspot.com/2013/08/teacher-week-13-classroom-tour.html"><span style="font-size: large;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">) I was a little rushed for time and had to put up my bulletin board fairly quickly. I always like to have a space where it is easy to just quickly change out student work, but also look *cute* when it is blank. </span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have always loved tulle poms. In fact, I not only have them in my classroom, but I have them in my little girls bedroom. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I just love the way they look and are SO simple to make. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All you need it a roll of tulle (hobby lobby 1/2 off), a pair of scissors and something to wrap your tulle around. This time I used a baking sheet, but I have also used a large notepad and a clipboard. Depending on the size you want the diameter your poms you will need get find something around your house with that length. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First you will wrap the entire roll of tulle around the object you choose, I chose a baking dish. The more tulle you wrap around the thicker your poms will be. The ones in my daughters nursery, I used to rolls of tulle per pom. For these I just used one.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once you have the entire roll of tulle wrapped around, you will slowly and carefully slide it off the end of the object (baking sheet). As you are sliding it off you want to gather it together and hold it in the center. Make sure it all stays bunched. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After you have slid it off, while holding it you will take a rubber band and wrap it around the tulle. The rubber band is what will keep your pom together. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now you will use your scissors to cut each end of the bundle of tulle. If you slid it off nicely, you will have a pretty clean loop at both ends. Slowly slide you scissor in the loop and cut it all the way across. You will do that with both ends. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Once you have it bundled and cut it is time to start fluffing. When you look at your bundle you will notice that is kind of divided into 4 parts from when you cut the loops. Using those parts you will start pulling the tulle down from the top to the center and into different directions. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well Hello there Mid-July! Where in the world did you come from?! Last time I checked it was the last day of school. I was cleaning up my classroom preparing for summer, making my beach shopping list to prepare for vacation and dreaming of what I was going to do for the next couple of months and I woke up this morning and you were here! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Slow down summer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am having the best time sleeping late (or later than normal, not much sleeping late with a 2 year old) and spending my days with Aubree. We have had a wonderful month and half. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wish I could just bottle her up at this age (and release it when she's a teenager)! She is so much fun and so full of energy! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Transitioning Aubree back into daycare was very tough after last summer, so this year we decided that we would put her in part time starting in July, two days a week. The first two days were tough, hopefully they will get better soon. While Aubree is adjusting back to her normal routine, it gives me time to get my school thoughts together and get a jump start on my classroom and allows me to get organized for the new year. The week of inservice is always so fast paced for me and it flies by, so I like to get started early. And it allows me little time to miss my sweet girl while she's having fun at school. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While she started back last week I began making my 'meet the teacher' gifts. I scoured pinterest this year for a simple idea that my kids would love. I came across </span><a href="http://www.dandee-designs.com/2010/02/friendship-bracelet-valentines.html"><span style="font-size: large;">these</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> 'valentine gifts' and thought they were perfect! So using that idea, I came up with 'panther bands' (since we are the panthers). </span></div>

WOW! To say I am a bad blogger would be quite the understatement. I have been TERRIBLE. And yes, I'm going to use the same ol' excuse I always do... I've been SO busy. You all understand. Between teaching, my husbands coaching schedule and a toddler, my poor blog has been put on the back burner. I really love blogging and reading other teaching blogs. I especially like *scrapbooking* the activities I do in my room. I will continue to blog, hopefully more frequently. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, over the past few weeks we have learned and done a LOT!!! Sadly, I haven't snapped pictures of everything, but here are a few recaps. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Recap 1: Verbs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>A verb is a word, is an action word...If you can do it, then do it, you know it is a verb! </i> Such a catchy song. I introduced verbs using BrainPop Jr. with a little bit of Annie and Moby. Who doesn't love them?!? Then with my students giving me verbs, I made this anchor chart. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After singing, dancing and recording verbs for several days my students recorded and illustrated their own verbs. We started with simple I am... statements. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Recap #2 Heart Maps</b> (An idea from a dear friend of mine) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After talking about nouns (before verbs) we talked about people, places and things we love. Together during writers workshop we created 3 heart maps. Things we love. People we love. Places we love. </div>

They keep them in their writers toolkits along with their journals, blends chart and spell checks with common sight words on them. I always tell my students to write from the heart because they tend to write more creative stories if it is about something they have experienced. </div>

<b>Recap #3 Adjectives</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>Recap #6 Pumpkins</b><br />
Pumpkin madness started October 1st! I absolutely love fall!! Everything about it. Our first field trip of the year was this past week... the pumpkin patch. Leading up to our trip we were knee deep in pumpkins.<br />
This little craftivity was inspired by Cara Carroll over at The First Grade Parade. We read the story <u>The Fantastic Pumpkin</u> and then retold the story using this little graphic organizer. <br />

We started off the unit with addition and subtraction and part, part whole. We used paper plates with the food separates, dice, counters and dominoes all week making addition and subtraction problems with corresponding number sentences. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After learning addition and subtraction, then I introduced fact families. </div>

<br />
We got the dominoes out again started making fact families. We got our 2 numbers from the domino, added them up to get our whole and then created our fact families. My trick for teaching fact families is the story of the "family". Daddy, Mommy and baby. And no one can live in the house that is not part of the family.<br />
To go along with our October activities we made these Frankenstein fact families.<br />

We just touched on this very briefly. We will hit this topic again in the spring time. We simply talked about each of the parts of a plant and what job they did to help the plant survive. They drew, labeled and described each part. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We read, recorded and journaled about spiders all week. Then at the end of the week we record our 4 favorite spider fun facts and created our spiders. </div>

One of my favorite things to do is look at other teachers classrooms. I mean really... I could do it all day long. Even a few days this summer I went to my room to work and I got side tracked and spent the entire day chatting and looking at other rooms. I love getting ideas and seeing how others do things so seeing all of these classroom tour posts are just making my day! And let me tell ya, y'all have some AMAZING spaces!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you read my blog a few post ago you all know that I switched districts this summer and I posted some *before* pictures of my new space. Well... I'm just about done with it and I LOVE it. I am not quite done yet, so you will see scattered stuff. Just know it's a work in progress. Also, meet the teacher is quickly approaching so in preparation of that I have *getting to know you* folders and supply tubs scattered about. </div>

*So this year I'm doing the daily 5!!!! I couldn't be more excited!!! I am adapting it a bit to fit my OCD...lol. I just don't think I can handle them choose where to sit. Whew!! So I am doing free choice where they pick where they are going, but have designated spots for them to go. Again, they will have a picture on a stick. They will check in with me...then place their picture in the pocket to the station they will go to first. They will keep their picture after each rotation is over and when daily is over each day.</div>

I have been married for 4 wonderful years to my husband Scotty, who is a high school football coach. This year we are blessed to *finally* be working at the same school district. We have a beautiful, spunky, loving 15 month old, Aubree Kate who makes our lives so much more fun! </div>

I started this little blog in 2011 to sort of document all of my classroom happenings and to share all of the fun and exciting things I do in my classroom and to follow other fellow bloggers with all of their fabulous ideas and resources. I never imaged how much I could learn or how many ideas I could get and share just through blogging. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In my *free* time, I enjoy hanging out with my family, shopping, blogging, watching reality T.V. and creating things for my classroom. The 3 most important things in my life are my faith, family and friends. </div>
