Lately...

Busy, busy, busy!

I am in San Diego right now really enjoying their PERFECT weather! Oh. My. Gosh.

I've been so busy! Had a wedding Saturday night (boyfriend was the Best Man and I caught the bouquet! Actually, it hit me in the head..)

The next morning was my flight out here for the big technology conference! I'll write more about it soon with lots of pictures, but here's a great shot of boyfriend and I at the wedding!

So. Done.

That's me.

So done.


With summer schoooooool! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah!

So I have 4 days to pack 5 days worth of clothing, accessories, and toiletries into a carry-on.

Easier said than done right?

We have layovers both there and back, so I don't want the nightmare of lost luggage.

Also, I am finally treating myself to the massage I bought a Groupon for months ago! I'm going tomorrow!

Well, gotta go pick out some outfits!!

Wooohooooo! So excited! Stay tuned to check it out once it's finished!!

SOLD!!

Woohoo!!!

I received an e-mail today saying that I sold my first product on TpT!

It MAY have only been for $1.00, and I MAY have only made 30 cents off of it, but I am SO HAPPY about it!

I could just do cartwheels around the room! I'm so glad that other teachers are enjoying my activities and feeling like they would help them enough to purchase them!

Hopefully, this will lead to many more!


I'm currently working on a birthday-themed unit! It will have lots of MATH activities! (Sorry, people, I'm a math teacher....) Mayyyyybe if I'm feeling particularly creative and my brain isn't totally scrambled from the work involved, I may create some reading activities... I've already got some ideas.... I'm thinking compound words...BIRTH-DAY!

I need to get BUSY! I leave for my very first big-girl job ...
 !!!!!!

We are going to San Diego, California to a HUGE technology conference! So, I'll be way behind on creating and blogging.

I am SO BLESSED! Our awesome principal is a technology FANATIC and found this great conference and is letting 7 of us go! Even new, just-finished-my-first-year teachers like me!!

I've gotta figure out what on EARTH I'm going to wear! I mean, I will be in Cali, So I've got to be cute!!



On a different, non-teaching-related note...

I'm so excited to go have a girls date with my best friend/cousin/twin Courtney after work today!!! It's been FAR too long! Love you bunches!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the best Daddy a girl could ever ask for!

You're the best!

Above and Below FREEBIE and Rhyming Words

So, as I was working with one of my summer school kindergartners, I realized he had NO CLUE what above or below meant. WHAT?!  I spent quite a while working on this with my kindergartners with hand motions, games, etc.

Since I was SO BRILLIANT and took ALL of my FILES home, I needed to create a quick worksheet. I didn't have a lot of time to find one I liked online. I found some plain, boring ones. Yuck.

SOOOOOOOO.... here's what I made!  One for you, too!



Visit my TpT store HERE to download it!


I also realized some of my 2nd graders didn't really understand how to find RHYMING WORDS! What is going on?! I know that is a kindergarten skill!

I'm sure I'll be whipping up some sort of rhyming activity today as well! AH!

_________________________________________

RHYMING ACTIVITIES!








These will be on my TpT store soon!

I will have my kids color them and cut out each square individually. Then they'll scramble them up, match them up, and then glue them on a large sheet of manilla paper!

There's also this worksheet to go along with it!



Also will be added to my TpT store soon!

Have a lovely evening!
