Loving the electric throw!



What do you do when you ask people what they want for Christmas and they say,
"Cash is good!"????



Megan's money gift, 2013



Keith's money gift, 2013



Megan's birthday gift, New Years Eve 2013
   The fortune cookies have money in them, and we cracked open   
cookies until we found some fitting fortunes to put in there as well.



Merry Christmas to all...

Sam

Toni





and to all a Good Night!

 



First Day Freebie

5th Grade Unit 4 Reading Street Amazing Words and Vocabulary Focus Wall Posters Freebie to celebrate the first day of winter break!  Merry Christmas!

 

I spent the second day of my break wrapping Sam's gifts and making his favorite Christmas treats, fudge and Buckeyes.  He had to take a class tonight (naughty...speeding ticket), so I spent the evening making Unit 4 Focus Wall Posters (nice!).  So get a bonus freebie here!

 

Wordless Wednesday: Bridal Shower Gift, Wedding Day Emergency Kit

One for the bride, one for the groom

Umbrella, for sun or rain

You might ask, why a gift for a bridal shower I wasn't attending?  Well, that's a story way too long for a Wordless Wednesday...

Manic Monday, Wishful Organizing!

I store each day's Math Daily Spiral Review/Enrichment in the metal trays labeled with the days of the week.  I also keep any tests or other items I need for the week in that day's tray.  I write each subject's topic and any page numbers necessary by the schedule, this is for me as much as it is for the students!  This also makes it easy for them to write our agenda down in their planners each morning before specials.  How do you organize your daily paperwork?  Do you write your schedule down or just go subject by subject?

Each student has a drawer in which to keep small items such as crayons, scissors, etc.  I make copies of all of the E.O.'s, Math Daily Spiral Review and Enrichment, etc. ahead of time and store them in the unused drawers.  I have trays on the top of each set of drawers to organize items to be copied, items to be turned into the Science teacher, and any notes from home or lunch money.  How do your students store their loose items?
