Last week my class did the last story in our anthology: Frog and Toad. This little guy is a part of my "Let's Get Hoppin' With Frogs and Toads" unit that is available in my Tpt store. Check it out! Splatter painting the body is sooo fun! By the way, my buddy made tan ones for toads...soooo cute!

Earth Day!

My formal observation is done! Yay! My kiddos were awesome! I told them the principal was coming to watch them. Teehee! I read "The Earth and I" then used Rick Morris' cards(love these) to assign partners for reading. I LOVE partner reading! They are so cute! After partner reading, we did a Promethean Board activity and sorted pictures of things that are good/bad for the Earth...followed this with an Earth Day writing activity from my TpT store! Cuteness galore! I will post some of them when they are finished.

Hanging Hero Saves the Day!

My new product, "The Hanging Hero" is now available in my tpt store. Check it out! I can't believe the amount of time this little tool saves when I'm hanging student work and art for display! The Hero has two pins embedded in the horizontal arms so you can pin it to the wall after using the attached level to guarantee it's straight. Staple your first four papers, pull the hero out, and move on to the next two papers. The Hanging Hero is made from durable, lightweight PVC and is engineered to provide perfectly spaced, straight displays! Woohoo!

Top Ten!

Thanks so much to Tanya over at Mrs. Dwyer's A+ Firsties for choosing me in her top 10! Love it!
