How to Kill a Main Character. You’ve probably heard people talk about killing their main characters and how it can be good for the story. Unfortunately, if we don’t do it right, it can be cheesy and unsatisfying.

Romanticizing your life is celebrating the small things. It's acknowledging that each day is made up of experiences that can be savored.
I like using Gerald McDermott's Native American folktales to teach the Common Core literature standards. The trickster tales are always a delight!

This Rolex Datejust reference 16220 boasts a refined blend of classic aesthetics and modern functionality with its double quickset function and the sapphire crystal. Highlighting its unique character, the watch showcases a very nice silver tapestry dial adorned with an intriguing chapter ring. The Rolex Datejust ref. 162XX series, introduced in 1988, replaced the previous ref. 160XX range with minimal aesthetic changes. The updated caliber and crystal were the main differences, with the new reference number reflecting these updates. The ref. 162XX's movement was similar to its predecessor. The ref. 16220, introduced in 1989, replaced the previous ref. 16030 and was the last Datejust model to feature a specific bezel type no longer used by Rolex. It strikes a balance between a dress piece and an everyday watch, appealing to those who appreciate vintage looks with modern engineering. The Cal. 3135 movement, found in the ref. 162XX series, improved upon the previous Cal. 3035 with subtle changes, such as a higher beat frequency and increased power reserve.

We started the year with a new idea for our Language Arts. We are doing themes this year, which I just LOVE! We started out the year with Kevin Henkes. {More will be coming soon about that! I have a packet created, it just needs the finishing "TPT" touches when I can find the time...} I quickly realized that my kiddos were having a difficult time with the words "Character" and "Setting." I whipped these up and the kids had a blast! You can pick up a copy of these activities on the For Fans Only Tab on my FB page! We group sorted picture cards. I made a set for each table. The kids had a great time discussing and working together. It was the first "group" activity I had them do! To assess all the learning, I created these cards to hang around the room. The students got to use clipboards and go to each numbered card and circle whether it was Character or Setting. They did such a fabulous job for their first time! I think I only had a handful that were circling the same thing over and over, even though they were telling me the right answer! lol I actually created 20 cards. We did 1-10 the first day. On the back I copied my page for students to draw a character and draw a setting. Here's a closeup of the worksheets: The next week, I put up 11-20 and they walked around again circling. They did a MUCH better job this time and were super speedy! :) Click on the picture to go to my FB page to grab it! Hope you enjoy it! :)

Ahhhh....why do the weekends have to pass so quickly? I am grateful though. On Friday morning, I woke as usual, went to get in the shower and discovered that we had NO hot water. Not even lukewarm water. Only ice cold water. Brrrrrrr! Now, this girl likes to take steaming hot showers...as in, burn the top layer of your skin off. I do NOT like cold anything (except for beverages). ;) It turned out that our hot water heater had kicked the bucket. Talk about taking things for granted. I will NEVER take hot water for granted again. Despite the advertisement of "same day service if you call before noon," we did not get a new one installed until midday on Saturday. Needless to say I did not leave the house....I did get some new things created for school so I guess that was a good thing. But, boy - was that long, hot shower the best thing EVER! After that shower, I felt like I deserved a little more pampering after spending the last 24+ hours looking like a hot mess. I treated myself to a little mani/pedi and a little shopping. I had to find that just-right outfit for the Carrie Underwood concert on Tuesday! Did you watch the Masters today? Wow! What a finish. I was totally Team Adam on that one, too! So glad an Aussie finally pulled off a win! I'm going to link up with the always cute girls, Amanda and Stacia, over at Collaboration Cuties for their Mentor Text Linky (Math). I LOVE to use picture books to introduce concepts in all subjects, but especially math! There are soooo many to choose from, but since I'm already thinking about my next unit to teach - measurement - I'll share about my favorite picture book for that unit. If you've never seen this cute book - get it. NOW! Here's the Amazon description of this book (click above to go to the Amazon page): Lisa has an important homework assignment--to measure something in several different ways. She has to use standard units like inches and nonstandard units like paper clips to find out height, width, length, weight, volume, temperature, and time. Lisa decides to measure her dog, Penny, and finds out ... Penny's nose = 1 inch long Penny's tail = 1 dog biscuit long Penny's paw print = 3 centimeters wide ... and that's only the beginning! Lisa learns a lot about her dog and about measuring, and even has fun doing it. This clear and engaging concept book, delivered with a sense of humor, is certain to win over the most reluctant mathematician. Of course, after sharing this book and learning about measurement, I assign my students a similar project to my students that we call "The Magnificent Measurement Project." They love that they get to choose something at home to measure - I've had everything from their favorite toys, to their pets, to their parents! I also let students decide how they want to present their projects to the class - they can create a PowerPoint (which we've done in class so they're already familiar with it) or create posters. Most choose PowerPoints....let's face it - they love technology! From the type of projects to the choices of nonstandard units and the various measurement options, this project and book lend themselves to differentiation. If you're interested in the project/rubric, they can be found here. If you don't have this book in your collection, and you teach measurement, I'd highly recommend it!
