Yeehaw!!

Okay, all you cowpokes out there in blogland, we have finished our Wild West Cowboy Fun packet!! This one is especially for Mrs. Robinson and her fabulous firsties. She has a rip-roaring good time with her Cowboy theme and needed some glyphs to kick-off the year. Maybe she'll let us post some pics when she completes them in August. Her room is CuTe!

Click on any of the pics to go to our TpT store and take a closer look!

This one has TWO glyphs included (a cowboy/cowgirl and a horse), plus a ton of writing and data collection resources.

 We've had requests for photos of our classrooms. Angela is moving to a different room and my room has everything piled up in the middle of the floor (they just finished waxing). We'll soon get the itch to start working on them and we'll be sure to take Before and After shots to share with you. What would we do if we didn't have summertime to recharge, regroup, and redecorate for the new year? Soooo thankful for all the fabulous teachers out there who share their ideas on blogs and Pinterest!!

Next up -- PIRATES!!!! ArrrGh!

Happy Summer,
Kelley

Paper Bag Princess Fairy Tale Fun!!

Our Paper Bag Princess project has been added to our Teachers Pay Teachers store! Take a peek --we think you'll like it. The kids adore this story by Robert Munsch. Click on the picture above to link to our TpT site. It includes a dragon glyph, patterns to make Elizabeth and Ronald, retelling puppets, tons of writing ideas, and more!

The Very Beginning

Ta-daaaaaa!! We finally did it! This is our very first blog entry. We are so excited to enter blogland. There are some splendiferous teachers out there (that's a Fancy Nancy word for wonderful)! We can all sharpen the saw when we share our ideas and creativity. Plus, it's just plain nice to know we're not alone on this journey. Hope we can bring something to the table that will make your day just a little easier and FUN! Kids learn so much more when they are in love with school. Don't you think?!?

It was 1st grade's turn to do the BIG bulletin board in our school's front lobby. Thank goodness for the Love Bugs! They filled that space right up. On Valentine's Day we'll take them down and turn them into a scrapbook. The firsties will glue all their special valentines inside to keep foreveeeerrrrr! We once had a grandmother come in and share her valentines that she had saved from when she was a child. The children were enthralled with them. Click on any of the photos to purchase the patterns for our Love Bug Glyph on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Looking forward to getting to know you all as we share and trade our best teacher secrets in the future!
Angela is working away on some fabulous glyphs for Read Across America Week! Stay tuned!!
