What a Break!!

Well, as you could tell from my currently, I got pretty sunburned at the beach. What it didn't tell you was that I have bridal portraits tomorrow. Needless to say, sunburn and bridal portraits probably don't go well together. It wouldn't have been as bad if it was an even sunburn, but I was splotchy sunburned! This has never happened to me! So, I come home a day early and go get a spray tan. Well, once again, my luck is awful. I run in to Walgreens and come out to a torrential downpour. So I wait until the rain slows up, and run to my car. When I get in, I look at my arms and it looks like I have "A Bad Case of Spots." Yep, David Shannon could have written a book about me. UGH. Luckily, I think I got it all evened out, but what a night.

Now that I'm done with my soapbox...a HUGE thanks to Amber over at Adventures of a Third Grade Teacher for blogging about my Jelly Bean Math page from TpT! Go check out her blog if you haven't already. She has some super cute ideas for spring on there I can't wait to do when we get back from break.




Before break we started some multiplication. Thanks to Katherine from Third Grade Teacher Files for posting the super cute Multiplication Monster to TpT. My kids LOVED it. Here is one of my kiddo's monsters! We added googly eyes for a 3D pop! :) He added 5 googly eyes and the rest were hand-drawn.

I'll be back tomorrow with more fun and the answers to my tag from Kelley at Buggy for Second Grade! :)

Thank You!!

Thanks to everyone who entered my giveaway. I'm sending my products to all of you as a big thank you! :) If you didn't leave your email but you left me a comment, just send it to me and I'll send it your way. I would love any feedback you may have for me!

On another note, I'm loving my first spring break. It is definitely a much needed break! We didn't have any time off from January until now. How many other districts have a winter break or year round school? I'm nervous to see how my kids are going to act on Monday morning. Are your kids usually eager and ready to learn? Or are they eager and ready to talk?

I linked up with Farley for April Currently. Go check out her blog!

Here is my April Currently! :) Hope everyone is enjoying their week/break, whichever it is for you!

FIRST GIVEAWAY!!!

Since I am brand new at this blogging and TpT world, I figured giving away my newest spring/Easter centers would be a great idea! :)

I'm super excited for my first giveaway! It will close Monday night at 11:59 PM. Please leave your email address so I can email your goodies!

I would LOVE it if you could share my giveaway! :)

SPRING BREAK!!

It's official. I've officially made it to my first Spring Break as a first year teacher. Did I ever think it was going to get here? No. Have my students been absolutely off the chain this week? Yes. But, now I'm relaxing at the beach getting ready for a sun-filled week.

On my way down, I decided to make two new, exciting centers!

The first one is a Spring Multiplication Game.

The next center is for classifying different types of sentences.

I would love for you to go have a look! You can click HERE to go check them out! I hope that everyone has an amazing weekend! :)

It's Almost Spring Break!

I can't believe that I have almost finished my first year of teaching. We are in the last nine weeks of school, and I feel like this year has FLOWN by. My students have been doing lots of cute things I've found from blog land, pinterest, and some I've come up with myself. I can't figure out how to work Icloud to get my pictures on here. It takes so long to transfer them from my phone to computer, etc. Can anyone help?? :(

On a happier note, I created my first Donor's Choose Project!! Please consider helping my students spring to success! Visit my Teacher Page at DonorsChoose.org, make a tax-deductible donation of any size, and use the match code BLOOM to double your donation. The match code expires on Monday 3/19!

Hope everyone has a great St. Patrick's Day! I'm going to try to post pictures of some of the fun things we've been up to like Oreo Moon Phases, Multiplication "Shamrock Strategies," Constellation Creatures, etc.
