Hello There!!!

Hey y’all. Hope all is well! It has been quite busy around here but I figured it was time for me to rejoin the blogging world. So many “new” things are happening and I am so excited to share some things with you.

First off let me say thank you all for the sweet messages. You guys really know how to fill a girls bucket. I know many of you follow me on instagram. You can follow me @mrsfresh2o (Just click the pick below) I have to admit I have been cheat blogging through instagram.

Well, I guess it’s time to get back to reality. As many of you know I moved to first grade. This year, we adopted a new reading and language arts program. I have to admit that’s where I’ve been. Oh my word…I have been trying to get my feet to hit the ground, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening.

I have been creating weekly spelling activities. We are using the Journeys Spelling and Grammar, but as a team we decided we needed to assess on more than six (6) words every week, so we worked together and added a few more skill words to compile a list of fourteen (14) words for each skills. Here is a small glimpse of a few activities. It seems as the units grew so did the activities I created. I posted Lessons 1-22 on my TPT site individually and bundled the units too. I will be uploading lessons 23-30 as I create them. So if you are currently using the Journey’s Reading Program, you may want to check these out!

 

Well, I’m off to create some dental activities for my kiddos next week. Hard to believe February is almost gone. Oh I forgot about my surprise…Stay tuned for details!!!

It's been a LONG time...

Well, as I log onto by long forgotten and "dusty" blog the only thing that come to mind is...

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again.

I apologize for my lengthy hiatus. I really have no excuse other than I was being lazy. Life got away from me and bad habits started forming. {Insert dislike button} I made a promise to myself to change some things and to "re-start" some of the things I have always loved. One of the things that I did miss during my "lazy day" hiatus was blogging. I appreciate all of the emails asking if everything was okay. Thank you for being patient and understanding. There really is no excuse for my lack of blogging because I have been an instagram posting fool for quite some time. You can follow me on instagram @MrsFresh2o (I love the simplicity of posting my pictures and boom I'm done.)

 

Well, enough about my laziness. Today, I am starting "fresh". I just updated my attention grabbers. You snag this freebie by clicking on the image to download.

 

I love using attention grabbers and cheers in my classroom.

Back in 2009, I had the privilege to attend a Dr. Jean professional development in Nashville, TN.

I love me some Dr. Jean!!! Such a sweet lady!!!

Well, one of my favorite things throughout her presentation was the on going "cheers"! I was captivated with her wealth of knowledge and her ideas. Recently, I was re-introduced to those famous cheers. I updated the pictures to feature those adorable melonheadz from my sweet friend Nikki!!! I just uploaded this freebie to my TPT shop. Hop on over and download it!!

 

I know I can't wait to start using them again in my classroom.

All you need to do is print, laminate and add to a ring.

I'm Back!!!!
