July Currently...

So I am a few days late... but it's summer! Who follows deadlines in the summer?!?

Thanks to Farley for hosting this each month!

So I was basically totally unavailable during June in a very good way!
I was helping my parents move to Madison, WI for a week and a half, then I came home and moved myself (our house sold, YAY), now my little bro is visiting and tomorrow we are heading off to visit my parents again! It has been a whirlwind month, but a very fun one filled with family!

I have basically sworn off all school work until I return from my parents' in a little over a week. So I will see you all then! 

Have a great summer!

Wordless Wednesday... Moving!

I have been awfully aloof lately... I realize, but I have a fabulous excuse!


We're moving! That's right, our house sold and we have to be out by the end of the month... now if our new house was only ready. :( Apartment life, here we come!


So go ahead and share... What is your worst moving experience? Classroom or home!

Wordless Wednesday - Workshop Handouts!

I am joining Miss Decarbo from Sugar and Spice for her weekly Wordless Wednesday linky!



Workshop Handouts


I looooove workshops and conferences, but I am never sure what to do with the handouts! Do you have a great way of organizing them?

New Favorite FUN Website! - Tuesday Art Linky

I'm linking up with Mel from Frog Spot for Tuesday Art because I have something I've really been wanting to share!!
So this is not exactly something I came up with... but it is sooo awesome, I had to share! My kiddos fell in love with this website! I wished I had found it earlier in the year! The site is Art for Kids Hub and it is so fun! They have "how to draw" lessons for anything and everything you can imagine. 



My kids' favorites were Olaf from Frozen



 and a Minion from Despicable Me.



 It really is a fab site made by what seems like the world's greatest dad. Check it out!

Monday Made It - Math Poster!

Today I am linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It!


I was inspired by Elementary AMC to make a "What's the Question" board recently, but I wanted to take it a step further! 

I started with the plain board (I plan on sprucing it up with some border once I get it to its permanent spot). First one to spot my mistake gets a virtual cookie. :)


Next came the Answer & Question pages:

After that I came up with a few other open ended questions that I often ask my student as a warm up or to add in their journals. 


The beauty of this poster is that you can write anything you want on it for your students to respond. I often use it as a "Exit Slip" board and have them answer one question as a quick assessment. This poster could carry across into other subjects as well!

I have made these into a free product on TPT.

June Currently!

June! Is it sad that I feel summer is already slipping away?!? I need to enjoy the moment a little more!

Thanks to Farley for hosting this fun linky! It's my first one!



Listening... I watched the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction with the hubs the other night and now I am totally on a Cat Stevens, Nirvana, Hall & Oats kick!

Loving... I just started reading The Women of Duck Commander and I love this family more with every page turn. I know lots of people have different opinions, but I love how open and real this family is about their faith.

Thinking... summer, summer, summer!!

Wanting... We are not going on a real vaca this summer but to visit my family (which is totally an awesome vaca, don't get me wrong). I really want to plan a short little fun something. Unfortunately, we are in OK and there aren't many awesome weekend getaways you can drive to from here. Maybe someone can help me get creative! I'd love a fun weekend with hubs!

Needing... Anyone want to buy a house??? ;)

Summer Bucket List... I need to learn how to read and treadmill at the same time... that would really help me out!

Happy summer everybody!
