Unit 1 Week 5

As promised... Click HERE to download our Unit 1 Week 5 packet!

Here's a little preview:

Here's a FREEBIE for you, too!!!

It's not rocket science!

So we're presenting the flow chart below to our coworkers on Wednesday for our PBS support! We all just love "flow charts" ...  right? Sarcasm INTENDED! Since we're well aware of the fact that NO one is all that interested in behavior flow charts we decided to add a little bit of fun to our presentation! We were told to dress up so we're dressing up as ROCKET SCIENTISTS! We already had the outfits because sometimes we dress up in lab coats and science gear when we're being "scientists." We're going to show our coworkers this silly clip first... 

We've all been there... right? We're showing this silly clip to introduce the flow map as something that is useful and not "ROCKET SCIENCE" just any easy guide to behavior management in the classroom!

We're finishing up our presentation with the THRILLING flow chart!

After many ooh's and awe's! We plan to exit the stage free of any eye rolls and tons of applause! Hopefully everyone will be so enthused with our cute little clip they will forget how frustrated they are with the fact that they've been given yet another flow chart. Hey... a teacher can dream! 

We'll be back in a few minutes with our latest packet for UNIT 1 WEEK 5!

Hope everyone finds this packet helpful! We will be posting Unit 1 Week 5 tomorrow! It is s blends and r blends and we wanted to add a few new things such as "read/write the room." We also plan to be adding new things to the upcoming unit 2 packs!

Did someone say SALE?

Where has the time gone! We simply can't believe it's already mid September! Brittany celebrated her 29th bday anniversary this week and we celebrated with a little cheesecake at school. Since she's getting MARRIED next month we kept it low key! We have so many wedding festivities coming up so Brittany insisted we don't "over do" her birthday. She is buying herself a new car this year, though! She's earned it! Updates to come on that! She's trying to be frugal and shop around so at this moment her driveway is not sporting any new wheels. Speaking of frugal... have you all hit up all of the back to school sales? School supplies are DIRT CHEAP right now. I bought a class set of binders for 16 cents each at Target yesterday! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Frugal: (adj.) prudently saving or sparing; not wasteful

As for school, well it's been an adventure! We have come a long way in just one short month and it feels so good to say, "I think we'll get there." If you asked me last week if we would reach our end of the year learning goals I would probably have not been so optimistic. Things are looking up!

This week has had it's ups and downs but nothing a little shopping can't fix! Found a great deal online and wanted to share it with all of you... if you like H&M this is a great bargain and who doesn't love a bargain?

10 days down and a freebie!!

Well, folks... we have survived the first 10 days of school with only a few bumps in the road. We have definitely faced some challenges at our new school but overall we are loving our new home! We quickly realized we have A LOT of work cut out for us this year but feeling very needed is a good thing!  Everyone at our new school has been so helpful and welcoming! Small schools are just awesome like that!

As you know we have a brand new reading series and we are tackling that monster head on! We plan to create a word work packet for each week to help our new first graders to catch up learn and master the new spelling patterns. Our new series is tough!

School is always ALL CONSUMING at the beginning of the year but we have WEDDING on our minds! Brittany's wedding is LESS than two months away! We have her bridal shower and bachelorette just around the corner and her fabulous Maid of Honor (me-moi) is a having a hard time focusing on school with all of the exciting events for my best friends wedding floating around in my head.

"Sorry kids, your teacher will return (mentally) on October 21... post nuptials."
Hope everyone had a great start to their school year!!! As Brittany aways says, "Teach procedures, procedures, procedures and nothing will go WONG!" Ha! We are Harry Wong fanatics, what can I say!
