My New Blog!

Hello everyone! I haven't had time to blog or have a life since this school year started.  There is definitely something about this school year that has got me more stressed out than I have ever been.  Lots of changes in my district, but I'm glad to have a job, right?!

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you all that I will not be blogging from Teaching Little Apples anymore.  Don't be sad! I have a new blog and I think the name suits me perfectly!

TLA will always have a very special place in my heart because it opened up so many doors for me as a teacher but I am not the same teacher I was back in 2011 when I first started blogging.

If you click on the image below, it will take you to my brand new blog. Please become a follower on there and Facebook. I will be having a giveaway soon and you won't want to miss it!!!! Trust me!

Thanks for being with me all these years! Now time to go make some new memories!!!

My classroom 2014-2015

I have worked my little tail off for an entire week trying to get my room ready. I will leave you all with some pictures for your viewing pleasure!

The odd and even are an idea from Tunstall's Blog. I just wanted them in pink and blue! :)

Subway art from Hope King!

My organizers from Learning in Wonderland!!

My AR tracker..:)

My dad made that table for me several years back!

Lovin' my frames for anchor charts!

Yep, I made that deco mesh wreath!

I have set stations for the kids, so they are not walking around aimlessly, cause you know, they would never do that!!

I would say that I am pretty happy with my room. If there is anything here that you like, leave me a message and I probably have it available OR can direct you on where to get it!

Bilingual Hand Signals

Hi friends! Today I am bringing a freebie for my bilingual peeps.  If you are strict on classroom management, like any good teacher, then you probably use hand signals in class to minimize the noise level....ahem...calling out!

Click on the first picture to take you to your freebie.  At this moment, I am leaving the images as is. So if you have a special request it may be a while.  I finally get to work in my room tomorrow, so free time has gone out the window!

If you want them in English, let me know because that's an easier task to complete. :)

Join the Linky Party

Hi guys!  I decided to attempt something different with my blog today!  I wanted to create a linky party for us bloggers who aren't as popular as the big names.  We all know who they are...I could be here all day listing them!  Well, I decided to create a linky party that would get us small-time bloggers out there...make us, you know, "popular"  I can't help but to think of Wicked the musical every time I say the word, popular!

This blog will be a fun way to get to know other bloggers and help give them some traffic to their blog!  I think it'll be fun and you may even make some new friends along the way!  So what do you need to do to join?  Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

First, right click on the picture below and save it or copy it into your blog post. Please make sure you link the picture back to my blog so that others can link their blogs down below.

Next answer these questions about yourself.
1. How long have you been blogging and why did you start?
2. What is your role in the education field?
3. What is your Pinterest name so we can follow you. (if you have one..or you can put your facebook fan page as well)
4. What is one 'nerdy' thing you do that we can get a good laugh out of!



Here are my answers:
1.  I started blogging in 2011 because I saw that others were doing it, so I said, "Hey, why not!  I stopped blogging for several months in 2013 but now have tried to slowly get back into it.
2. I am a first grade bilingual teacher in Texas! I love what I do!!!
3. Pinterest name is- judyc1983
4. One nerdy thing about me is I LOVE Harry Potter! I am a super fan! Also, I could get contacts, but I love wearing my pink glasses!

A Little Freebie

My goal for this school year is to become better at teaching writing.  I think it's something I have been struggling with and I want to be great at teaching it.  With that in mind, I decided to create a bilingual poster for my class.  You can click on the images below to take you to the file.  I hope you enjoy this freebie!
