“Oh, stop it.” Those are the words from my co-worker {who won’t read this blog, so I’m going to talk about her…just kidding, she might read it. No she won’t. But, if she did, she would laugh.} That’s what she says when I’ve made something new or found something new to have my students make….
As crunch time approaches, we are kicking it into high gear with REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW. BLEH….. Don’t leave. I will try to make this enjoyable. {Pinky swear} I’ve been trying to find reading resources to use in my room for “test practice”. I wanted passages that were the equivalent in length to what my students…

Remember when I was totally freaked out about having over 66 starred items in my Google Reader? Well, how about a few months later {and following several….maybe several hundred more blogs} I had over 250 STARRED items. Yes, items I found that I NEEDED to go back to for some reason or another. That’s how…
Do you ever have one of those days that you wish you could start over? Well, today was the kind of day I wish I could have started in reverse. The day was just plain on blah until this afternoon. If it had started like the afternoon did, then maybe I wouldn’t have been such…
Hi there bloggy friends 🙂 It was nice, lazy start to a busy Sunday. Around noon, I decided that I best kick it into high gear to get it all finished before bedtime. On my list today: #1- Finish Pinteresting Exchange craft and get ready to mail tomorrow. {I’m making one for myself, too, ’cause…
