Wordless Wednesday! Pinterest Headers - February 11, 2015

Happy Wednesday!
It is time for another Wordless Wednesday with Ms. Decarbo!

I know I broke the rule...but...it's so pretty! 

Why cute outfits you ask? Because I'm currently obsessed with Ladybug's Teacher Files! She posts the most creative and COLORFUL ideas for decorating your blog, pinterest page, and your life in general. I followed her tutorial to change your pinterest board covers and stayed up WAY to late changing the covers.

I made 11 covers altogether and spent about an hour beginning to sort out my boards. As I am planning to return to the classroom, it's important to sort out all of my teacher ideas in order to prep them over the summer.

Overall, I am super happy with the results! What do you think?
Is there a blogspot idea/post has kept you up late into the night?

Fantabulous February!

Currently February!

It's February! January went by so quickly! It literally just blew by me smh. So at the end of this whirlwind, I am linking up with Farley to get February on the right start!


 1. I am so loving Spotify's Pop Ballads list. I listen to it  at work CONSTANTLY! I had to make a deal with my seat mate that I will let her get a day to play the music lol. It has such great throw back, classic, and current hits. I just zone out and feel more super productive.

It also can't hurt that Beyonce is on the cover. I'm just sayin. 


2. My family came to visit my little Papaya. My mother brought her a new playard after hearing that she fell off the couch. To be fair, she landed on a bed of pillows, but my mother was not trying to here that. She, along with my sister, brother, and aunt, descended on our house for the weekend. It's always great to be around family.


 Papaya in her play yard. 

 Grandmmommy with Papaya. Papaya has been covering everyone with drool lately, due to her teething. 

Auntie and sister dear with sweet papaya.

3. I have NOT seen any of my friends at all! Between work, the baby, TPT stuff, Blog Stuff, and of course Honeybear, there is not enough time in the day. I actually took the past two weeks off just to get me house in order and spend time with family. Now I need to see my friends. I really don't want to fall into the family trap, where you are so focused on family, you forget about your friends. I have a brithday party coming up that I'm excited about as well as just general girl time with the buds. 


4. I really want it to snow on Thursday. Yes, yes, yes...students need to be in school, but I love working from home with my little papaya. We had some today so fingers crossed.

5. I need bobby pins. Badly. I always start with 100 and they magically disappear over the course of the month. Of course, honey bear always finds them and tells me that they are in the couch, my purse, the floor, the bathroom drawers, and basically everywhere else but in my hair. I went to pick some up, but they were $2.74 for like 42. That was just too rich for my blood. I will take my frugal self back to the dollar store and purchase the next 100 and steel myself for honeybear's complaints. 
(I have to have a few flaws right??....right....)

As for my pageant title, if I were a pageant queen, I would definitely take the title for food prep. Honey and I are trying the PiYo lifestyle (not a diet... not a diet...trying to trick my brain). 
After the disappointing loss of the Seahawks, I had to leave and purchase all of our food prep items.  

 I bought two sets of these containers from Walmart to help with food prep. 
I love the PiYo LIFESTYLE counts servings rather than calories. I have honey on the same diet, so hopefully we can be accountability partners. 

Above are the results of our hard work! We measured out everything using our new digital scale so hopefully everything will be great. Papaya turned six months old today, so no more I just had a baby excuses lol. 

Happy February!

What is your greatest sweet temptation?

Five for Friday: Doodle Bugs


So glad to do my first Five for Friday with Doodle Bugs

My little Papaya this a.m. Enough said :)


 So glad to be finishing up my Valentine's Day activities for the kids. I had planned to finish these over Christmas Break, but I caught up in, well, Christmas. It was so nice to take a break and spend time with my family. Sleeping in and lazy days. Bliss!

Here is one of the sample pages from the packet. I love that the check code is are valentine themed words. 


So yes, this is our tiny Christmas tree that is currently still up. We got a tiny tree because we spent most of  Christmas in Dallas with honeybunny's family. When we got back, we simply looked at it and said we would get to it. And for the past two weeks, we have been planning to get to it. And today is that day. We will be finally putting up our little piece of Christmas. I would have done it last weekend, but I love the little whiffs of pine you get as you sit in the den. 



I purchased The Moffat's Girls prompts for beginning and struggling writers...with mxied results. It worked well for my higher first graders but I have kids who are significantly behind and who struggle with letter writing, so it is back to the books to think of something for my struggling writers and readers. 


Finally catching up on Season 3 of Scandal on Netflix. I now know why they wait weeks between episodes. After three episodes, my brain is on overload from all of the, well, scandals! I think after this episode, I'll switch back Warehouse 13 lol.

Wordless Wednesday!

So glad to particpate in Miss. DeCarbos Wordless Wednesday!



Are those lily pads! Why yes, I believe they are! Our kinders are having a hard time controlling all that energy and focusing on their sight words. Sometimes they seem ready to jump out of their own skin. So I thought of something else they can  jump on. I cut these lily pads out on green card stock and laminated them for durability. The tutors then wrote the words from the their books onto the lily pads.

The kids loved jumping so much, the reading....not AS much but they still began recognizing the words. I hope they will continue to keep playing the games and improve their word recognition.

Thanks for taking the jump! (pun intended) and thanks to Ms. DeCarbo for the wordless Wednesday!

Teach Idea Tuesday Link Up

This Tuesday I am linking up with Teach Junkie to share 
TeachJunkie.com

I created Fluency Rings as a way to have students self monitor and keep track of what words they are not reading fluently. 

Students read the cards in partners and as one reads a word incorrectly, the other marks the words they do not read correctly. They ten add them to their ring. They must read the word from their ring correctly five times to remove it.


Simply cut out the cards (on colored paper for cuteness) and give stacks to students. They can practice these as time fillers, a center, or during guided reading work.
