I survived 100 days in First Grade

And lived to tell about it :)


Today was our 100th Day! We had so much fun.  Our day kicked off at 9:00 by rotating classes.  We have 6 first grade classrooms and we rotated each class with 12 minutes spent in each class.  Each teacher did a different 100th day activity.  The kids loved it!

My activity was to use a bingo dabber and dab the numbers 1-100 inside the gumball machine.  Trick was that they had to go in order.  I played some fun music and they chewed bubble gum while they did it.  It was so much harder than I had thought.  No one was able to finish in 12 minutes. I think the worksheet came from www.makinglearningfun.com if you want to check it out.


A few of the 1st grade teachers decided we would dress up with our kids as 100 year old people.  The kids were adorable.



I had SO much planned and didn't get to do it all.  First year teacher problems; overplanning.

Have an awesome weekend!

All snowed in and nowhere to go

This is our 3rd snow day here in our parish.  There really isn't any snow just ice.  Louisiana is so not prepared for this kind of weather.  My hubby is a police officer and all he has worked for 3 days is wrecks.   People, stay home!

Anyway, all this time home and I've been working ahead on a few things.  I'm getting together my March iPad Listening Center and my March Poems and Songs.

February is all finished if you'd like to check it out.

Mardi Gras is such a big deal here so I'm working on a Mardi Gras unit.

 Maybe with all these snow days I'll be able to finish.  Our 100th Day is tomorrow and I will be so sad if we don't have school!  I can't wait to see all my firsties as 100 year old people.  AND I'm pretty excited to be a granny myself.

First EVER January Currently :)

Starting my New Years off with the first of many blog posts.

Happy 2014 Ya'll!

My Christmas break has been so incredibly uneventful but spending all day with my 2 precious babies has been amazing.

I mean really, if you got to look at this all day would you ever complain?




No, I didn't think so.

Listening:  Seriously boys can turn anything into a sword, a gun, or a fight.

Loving:  I want to eat salad every night with that dressing.  Its amazing!

Thinking:  I thought I would be so smart and print/laminate all of my January centers before winter break.  Now its staring at me like "are you EVER going to do your job?".

Wanting:  I am trying to convince my hubby we need a part time maid but so far its not happening.

Needing:  stupid stupid lamination.  :(

Memory:  Atlas had chicken pox this Christmas so our memory is of oatmeal baths and Calamine lotion.

Have a great week!
