Happy Valentine's Day

Well even though we are off of school for Mardi Gras break, I would still love to send out a Happy Valentine's Day to everyone I will be traveling to see my daughter today while she is still in the hospital for Valentine's Day. Thanks to everyone for the prayers especially when you dont even know what is going on. You guys are the best. I love how teachers stick together. My daughter is a 15 year old beautiful teenager that let bullys get the best of her, and tried to end her life. She is getting the help she needs and is now learning to stand up for herself. If I can say anything about what I have learned through all of this, as teachers and mothers we need to stop the teasing and picking on each other while they are young, I see it in kindergarten. This way when they are teenagers they dont have to go through what my family is going through. I also finished my Dolch sight words set, you can check it at here at my store http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dolch-Pre-Primer-Sight-Word-Packet

Mardi Gras

First I would like to thank you out there that has been saying prayers for my family and my daughter. I been driving back and forth to the hospital every other day. The hospital is 2 hours away from my home. We are on Mardi Gras break so this week is easier to not have to work all day and then drive after work like I have been doing.  I would like to share what I did with my students last week.

We had to teach Louisiana, Mardi Gras, and Valentines all before the holidays. So Friday was a little crazy, we were exchanging our Valentine's . Celebrating the letter Hh, Dd, and Rr with Hot Dogs and Relish . And last decorating King Cakes. Our local stores make the small ones for us to purchase and the children put the icing and sprinkles and decorate while playing Mardi Gras music in the classroom they kids just loved it.

Here are some pictures of some of the king cakes.

As you can see they were huge king cakes that they kids had to take home in zip lock bags.
Well I am almost finished working on my DOLCH SIGH WORD PACKET , please follow me so you can see when it comes out.

February Calendar

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I have really taken it easy this weekend. I usually go to my classroom and do extra work to stay ahead. But this weekend I have stayed home and worked from home. We have parent teacher conferences coming up and I am making my schedule. You know a teachers job is never done. I will post pictures tomorrow but My class has been using Karen Jones and Deanna Jump's Snowmen units and I added a little of my own things. We built our snowmen and then we used a How to: four square writing sheet. Tomorrow we will work on putting the writing together into a story. We have read tons of Snowmen stories.
Its so easy to order from amazon. I love using them for purchasing my books.

2013
This is my year of changes. I am almost 40 years old and things need to change. So my New Years Resolution is to put myself first for once and take care of myself, life is too short. So I am going to start another blog, following my life for 2013. I dont want to mix them together, because school is the one place that I feel secure and happy at. I have still been trying to figure all the buttons with the blogs and labels so bear with me. I also am not sure how to make sure I am following you guys all back. But I will get it slowly it is geeting better.

So as far as school ,
