Spanish and English Behavior Freebie
I've been looking at those behavior stages where it says "Ready to Learn, Think about it, etc." Well I decided to cut out most of them and just stick to three. For me personally, I don't like having all those options for the kids. I focus a lot on behavior management during the first few weeks of school so that throughout the rest of the school year, disciple isn't that much of a problem. Well if you would like a copy of what I made, click on the picture below. :)

A Little Freebie
So most of you have seen those number labels around clocks to help the kids identify time, right? Well, I'm taking it a step further and I've decided that instead of using the plastic yellow clock, I'm going to take those numbers and make it interactive. I will be laminating and placing magnets on the back of them to put on my whiteboard. I found the perfect circle frames from this lovely TPT Shop. Trust me she's got some great stuff!
I also used the sketch font from here and by the time I dl it, I forgot that I already had some from another site! DUH!
Well, here's the freebie I worked on if you want it. Click the picture to get it.

This whole summer schedule is throwing me for a loop. I'm not tired, so I will be laminating and cutting these bad boys!
Goodnight!
Piggy Bank Math
Well I came up with this...
In third grade we did not have to do morning meeting, but in first grade, it's a requirement. I LOVE morning meeting. I'll tell you why, 1. It's in the morning, most kids are paying attention (at least we hope). 2. You are able to review TONS of concepts. 3. It's fun, if you make it fun! Anyway, I saw this....
which came from this...
(click on pics to take you to their blogs).
So I came up with this,
It was very cheap to make and will be effective in the classroom. I am way too excited to use it! If I make any other things, I'll be sure to post about it!

Math Fact Packet
Yikes! It's almost 1:30 in the morning here and I have to get up early for a professional development session on the new math standards Texas is implementing! Well technically I don't have to be there til 12:15ish but I'm a girly-girl and I spend (waste) lots of time getting ready. :)
Anyway, since I've been out of the blogging scene for a while now I promised I would get cracking on something. I made my very first Math Facts packet. It's 11 pages worth of math facts that I'm sure your kids will love. It's over at my TPT store but I'm putting out one freebie for ya!
Click on the big pretty picture to go to my store..(I'm so proud of this little image) I still need some practice but I'll get better at making it prettier.

Where Have I Been?
If anyone is still reading this blog, which I doubt, I have to humbly apologize for my huge absence. Funny, I had perfect attendance this past school year and even got a reward :). As for my blog, well that's another story.
Well, I survived my "first year" as a third grade teacher in public school. I think the STAAR test was going to be the death of me, but my kids and I did it. I made lots of wonderful friendships along the way and I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. Seriously, we were the best team in the school, hands down!
My ending to the year was bittersweet because I have another friend who teaches in the same district but at a different campus who told me about a first grade bilingual position that was opening up at her school. If anyone knows me well, they know that I just LOVE first grade. I taught it for four years and it's where my heart lies. Well, I took a leap of faith and applied for it and got an interview. The interview was tough and I work for the district so it blew my mind that questions they were asking. I was up against a few other people so I said, may the best person get the job. I prayed for it and I told myself that I already had a job no matter what and that if someone else needed or wanted it more than I did then they could have it. Well, 45 minutes later I get a call from the principal saying the team would love to have me!! So many emotions ran through me, I laughed and cried a lot. I think it's because I know that's where I am the most at ease and where I know I shine as a teacher.
It's funny how things will work themselves out if you just have patience and hope.
I'm currently enjoying my summer to the extent that I can. I've been working out twice a day and eating as best as I can. Not only to lose weight, but to make my body feel healthier. That's a goal I want to maintain now that I'm in my thirties! Yikes! Ha! No, I'm actually loving it and I love where my life is at this present moment.
I have a new man in my life and we'll just call him "K" for now. K and I met online at the end of January when I was losing all hope in life, no joke, I was in such a bad place and I was struggling with anything and everything. Then I "met" K and he was actually the first and only guy I talked to from the site. I was honestly not thinking of falling in love but he has truly swept me off my feet and continues to do so. We've been dating for four months now and I firmly believe K is my soul mate. He makes me happy like no one else has in a really long time and he makes me laugh and just pampers me. It's so good to be in a relationship where the love is equal. He's been helping me workout and goes through it with me so I'm not alone. We have our slips with food now and then but who doesn't. I could probably sit here and write about him all day but no one wants to hear that. If you want to know more, just ask! I really am an open book!
Summer projects:
-Relax
-Get to know my first grade standards well
-Finish my required summer reading
-Think of a theme for my new classroom (i'm thinking chevron)
-Create materials in Spanish for elementary teachers such as myself because there isn't much out there!!!
-Keep working out
-Eat right
-Enjoy my time off
Well, I think that keeps me up to date, I have to get moving because K, his parents, and I are going to Colorado tomorrow! I am so excited!!! I've always wanted to visit and never had the chance. We plan to go back in the winter and stay in a cabin just he and I, which will be so romantic!
Okay peeps, I'm off! Have a great day/week!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...I'm Alive
Hi guys!...This post is going to be short and sweet because I'm way tired. I haven't been blogging as much, so I apologize for that. So in honor of me not being around, I created a little freebie for you guys who still read my little blog.
We are working on our multiplication in third grade and the kids are loving it. I still have some that have trouble figuring out the repeated addition part, commutative property, array, and groups of. So my teammate had a great idea to start, "Factor of the Day". You give the kids a multiplication fact and create a Frayer model with it.
So it's factor in the middle and you circle it and all the other vocabulary I listed above goes in 4 squares and you quickly work through each one, each day. It's a quick review to get those standards in!
I made this cute cupcake template that I plan on laminating tomorrow and placing on my board. Here you go..
Just write your mult. fact and you're good to go.
Enjoy!
Goodnight!
Oh yea, I'm getting my 45 min. appraisal on Wednesday. Wish me luck! So nervous!
