Here is mine:
So I LOVE soooooooo much! My eighth grade substitute teacher (she took over my teacher who was maternity leave..glad she was gone cause I wasn't crazy about her, the sub was AMAZING!) Anyway, she read this to us and it was love from that moment on. I always read it to my classes and some of them are still way to young to understand the true meaning of the book. Appreciate those that love you, while you still can.
Second, . I honestly don't know how I taught before this. So glad my ex co-worker turned me on to it. The kids love it and it just makes teaching so much easier! Can't wait to try it with my new third grade class.
I did some shopping today at Walmart and got some goodies! I hate shopping for myself but I love shopping for my classroom. There's just something about it! :)
Okay time to comment on my 3!
Night!
Oh I love The Giving Tree!!!

I love shopping for my Classroom too! It's an obsession. I don't think I go to any store without looking for things to go with my theme! I don't know anyone that uses the Daily 5, but I have read so much on it that I am definitely going to check it out. Would it be good for 5th grade? I am a newbie on the blogging scene. You're site is great!
ReplyDeleteOlivia it's funny you should mention that. I know there's an upper grade blog read on the Daily 5/CAFE going on. It started yesterday actually! Go here http://www.wereadweblogweteach.com/ I hope this helps!
DeleteI have to agree with each of your thoughts! Where in Texas are you? My daughter and her husband teach in Pasadena, just south of Houston. I live in Michigan and miss them a lot when they aren't here.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my 2nd grade blog sometime. . . you might find some freebies that would be good for your kids this year.

Patty, I'm in the DFW area. I do have family that lives in Houston though so I'm mostly around that area for the holidays. I become a follower of your blog. :)
DeleteI'm a relocated Yankee as well! :) Moved from Pennsylvania to Texas about 10 years ago. I started using y'all now regularly so I guess it's official! The Giving Tree is also one of my favorite read-alouds.

I'm in school to be a teacher and I've read the Daily 5 twice. I can't wait to implement it into my future classroom. Adorable blog, by the way!
