I hate it when I have a day off and I can't sleep in. My body is just to used to getting up at 5:00 AM. So here I am blogging and blog stalking when I wish I could be sleeping. Maybe I can't sleep because I'm excited about my new packet. I think it's pretty cool. We've been working on Shapes for the past few weeks and I put together a packet of some of the things we did. This is a great activity for analyzing and composing shapes. My kids LOVE! This is a fun game where the kiddos get to use the skills they discovered on the Cover the Shape mat above. I LOVE this book and was sad to find out that it is out of print. But you can find it on some of the used book sites. I read the book and then my firsties used their imaginations and came up with some cute pages for our class book. This is a picture of our class sort with 3D shapes. I'm using this next week in Math Stations with a 4-In-A-Row game. The packet is 31 pages of fun with over 50 pictures of 2D and 3D shapes. You can find the packet at my shops. Just click on the words below for a link. TpT or Teacher Notebook Oh and if you haven't heard, there are BIG sales this weekend on both sites. THANK YOU! At this Thanksgiving time I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be a teacher and work with my little ones. Some days it is VERY hard and I wonder if I'm doing any good. But then one of them gives me a big smile or a high five or a hug and then I know I might have taught them something today. I'm so grateful for this blogging community of wonderful teachers who inspire me to step it up and do a little more. I love the ideas everyone shares and the willingness to collaborate. It makes teaching much easier when I know I'm not in it alone. FREEBIE! Here's a little freebie to say THANKS for following me! It's from my shape packet above. Click HERE to download these 2 pages. GIVEAWAY! Also, as a BIG THANK YOU I'm going to give away my new shape packet to 3 of you. All you have to do to qualify for the giveaway is COMMENT here on this post before MIDNIGHT TONIGHT (Utah time). I will select 3 winners at random and send you the packet so make sure you leave an email address. Winners were Kim, Tina, and Mrs. Brinn. Thanks everyone for your great comments!

Money is now a thing of the past and geometry is where it’s at in room 102! We have been identifying 2D shapes and their characteristics, while also getting familiar with these shapes by PLAYING!

These crystal stars made from pipe cleaners and a simple borax solution are SO COOL. And they're really easy to make! Leave them overnight and crystals magically form! Borax Crystal Star Ornaments OK you guys, I think I've fallen in love with another kids activity. These borax ornaments are so easy to make, and they look SO COOL when they're done! It takes a few hours to grow the crystals, but the actual work involved with putting them together is really fast.

I used my trusty craft knife to cut it out from the thick card. I got very lucky and
We are about finished with our shape study (introduction/review). Most of my kiddos come in knowing their colors and shapes, but it’s fun to do a bit of a review, just to be certain. One of my awesome Kindergarten colleagues uses the Roger Hargreaves books to review shapes. She even has the most AMAZING puppets that another colleague made for her. I wish I had a picture, but you have to trust me that they are adorable. They are on my summer to-do list! So each week, we read one of the Roger Hargreaves books. (These were some of my favorites as a child, and when my oldest was little, I started scooping them up again!) After we read the book (which have great character ed lessons), I drew the character and brainstormed other things that have the same shape. Here are some of our charts: I’m missing a few of my charts, but I’ll add them as soon as I snap pictures! I LOVE seeing the kiddos refer to these anchor charts and I LOVE seeing them trying to draw the characters! They are so stinkin’ cute!!
How many questions do you get asked in a day? My count right now has to be close to 100. Inquisitive, curious kids are fabulous - though, truth be told, exhausting. While I have been known to respond with the day-dreamy "yep" in the car after responding to 38 questions about clouds, I really do

If you’re participating in the Kitchn Cure, you probably tossed a fair amount of outdated, spoiled, and just not useful food this week. Every time we clean out the fridge, we’re filled with agita at all the food we waste. Cooking for two people with busy schedules means that plans change unexpectedly, and that head of lettuce you bought two weeks ago is just not going to wait.
When Joanne Burgess, of The Curious House, bought this house in Henley-upon-Thames, she inherited a senseless layout and a surplus of bedrooms, doors and windows. With ingenuity and imagination, she has transformed it into a bright, characterful home.
