Ready for another year!

Well I've made it through the first month of my 28th year!

I can't believe it!  Where have all the years gone.  

Here are a few of things that worked great to start off the year.  I covered my chalkboard with Better than Paper this year.   It was super easy to put up and I glued it right to the board.  It did take 2 rolls to cover this board, but so worth the time and effort.  It looks fantastic!  It's on sale on Amazon right how if you want to try it out.  

If you haven't tried the whole sheet shipping labels to make big stickers for your journals, you are so missing out.  I love how cute these turned out.  I used the 8 1/2 x 11 shipping labels.  Each sheet made two labels and the kids loved that their names were on the big stickers.

We are using a new series in math this year, Envision.  I am loving all of the lessons and the kids are starting to really get the hang of it.  We are currently working on repeated addition and arrays.  I wanted a fun game for us to play this week, so I made these cute task cards.  I'm planning to play a game of SCOOT with them.  The kids haven't played SCOOT yet, put I know they will love it.  

I wanted to make sure that the kids are focusing on rows and columns.  The set has 10 cards that focus on rows and 10 on columns.  We had a lot of confusion this week on which way a row or column went.  I just finished printing and laminating the cards.  I'm going to hang them around the room and then let the kids work with a partner to write the repeated addition sentence for each card.  Click on the cards to see more!

I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

What we do is MAKING a DIFFERENCE!

HAPPY TEACHING!
