February Currently



It's February!!! 



Oh my! It's February already! January went by fast! And we had NO snow days! A few delays and one early dismissal but no snow days! I'm glad! We have several built into the calendar and I would like those off. Then I can do what I want and have fun. I know! Snow days are fun too! But I'm hoping not to lose the make up days at Easter cause I don't want to use too many personal days! lol
Well, this is always fun to link up with Farley at http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2015/01/currently-february.html



LISTENING - yes, the Super Bowl is on! It's been going on all day. Finally at the kickoff! My NY Giants aren't playing this year, so I'm not really caring which team wins. It's a nice night to sit by the fire and blog! 

LOVING that I have plane tickets to go away this spring!! It's been a long time since I've been on a plane! I am soooooooooooo looking forward to visiting my daughter on her study abroad trip! This will be epic! 

WANTING and NEEDING - I would love a day to really get caught up! Not that you ever do but it couldn't hurt. I feel like I want to do so much and then I just want to relax - it's always a toss up about what to do! No use complaining - life is good! I need nothing! So many blessings to be thankful for! 

PAGEANT TITLE- well, as sarcastic as I am, one would think I could think of something clever for this but I can't! lol So I went with Miss Book Scanner! When we moved out of the other school last year, I brought home ALL of my library. It's 99% my personal books I thought I would scan them into the Book Retriever app. I love the app! The thought was to do a basket a day over the summer. Well, that didn't happen. There are still baskets in my living room. Some days I feel like that is all I do! I'll get there... I promised by the time my girl comes home I'll have it done. OH BOY!  Maybe I should be Miss Procrastinator!

    OOOOH! A trip! How exciting! I just booked a little mini trip with my son to go tour Stanford so it will be nice to get out of Dodge for a few days!

    I know what you mean about needing a little time to catch up! Sometimes I wish there was a "pause" button in my classroom. If everyone could just hold on for a few minutes (hours/days!) maybe I could get some stuff done! :)

    I've never heard of the Book Retriever app. I'll have to check it out. I've got a snow day tomorrow. Hope you get one, too. See you around. Kathleen Kidpeople Classroom

The Closet Abyss!This is the closet with the language arts materials - alphabet recognition, rhyming, beginning and ending sounds, sight words, oh my! It was looking better till I bought more stuff and tried to put it in here! It is somewhat organized- rhyming stuff on one shelf, abc stuff on another, sight words on another, for the most part!This is the only large cabinet I have like this. :(   Is it any wonder why I don't use all that I have? AND when summer gets here - everything in the classroom has to be packed away - which means even more is shoved into all these closets! This is above the hooks for the kid's coats. It is organized but not pretty. These cabinets hold my literature. The bags are letter bags. I have one for each letter. The other stuff on top is stuff that doesn't fit into a cabinet. This area of my room is what I call the mud room. When you come into the classroom, this is where you come first. Then there is an opening right at the snowma

Chapter 3

What should your math work stations, look like, sound like and feel like?   I have not done math stations this year. That is the plan for next year:) I hope they look like the ones in this book!! lol I do want to make sure that I MODEL all the materials before I put them out in the stations. I want them to be a great place for the students to work and learn and have fun. What does your management board look like? I will be making a pocket chart- I think. I will be using their pictures for the board. I want to see some more ideas from all the other great bloggers. How do you support math vocabulary (math talk cards) in your stations?   WOW - do I need to work on this. I have thought about making a word wall of sorts with math vocab. I want to add more of this and make sure that it is included in the stations. I also want to connect it with some Whole Brain Teaching concepts that use gestures for the words.  This is a great chapter! I need to sit and look at the schedule to fit
