I just finished my first week back and let me tell you, I was so tired Friday night...I think I was in bed by 7:30! We had such a busy week but I was so happy to see my students. They really are the best and make my job so much easier!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I wanted to share with you something we did this week that I am super proud of! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Our focus this week was changing our mindset!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First, we had a conversation about the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. We watched this awesome video and talked about it after. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Next, I showed them a list of words and we had a discussion about their meanings. I don't know about you, but my students LOVE to talk and this was a perfect opportunity for them:)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I put each word on a poster, and students had about 15 minutes of quiet time to walk around and write what that word meant to them! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After students were done, we talked and shared. Their responses were amazing! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The next day, we had a quick recap of what the differences is between a fixed mindset vs growth mindset. We did this on TodaysMeet! You can view our conversation <a href="https://todaysmeet.com/GrowthMindsetA2" target="_blank">here</a>!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After we "talked about the differences, I gave them some fixed statements. I would type in the fixed statement and they would type in what they would do to make it a growth statement!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The last part of this activity was an art piece. I have each student a head! I instructed them to draw, doodle, write, color, anything they wanted to show how they were going to change their fixed mindset to a growth mindset in 2017. The results were amazing!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How do you get your students to change their mindset? I'd love to hear it!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you all are having a great start to your year! So far, the past 6 days have been great and I just know this year is going to be amazing! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to share something with you today that is a super amazing idea for Valentine's Day! I have been doing it for 6 years and every year the kids just love it! I begin right away after winter break to give students enough time to get started!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Each student's name is placed in the Valentine envelope!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will pull a name out each day and write it on the pink chalk board.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This person gets to wear the heart Emoji on their lanyard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For homework that night, students will write a thoughtful compliment about that person. When they have their own name, I still have students write a compliment about themselves. Most of the time, this is the hardest one to do! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used to have students hand write it, but this year I made a Google Doc for my students to use nightly. If students can't get to their Drive for some reason, they can write it on lined paper and type it in their doc first thing in the morning. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After all students and myself had their name pulled out, I will print out the compliments, organize them by student and we will begin the fun part!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Each student will pull another student's name out of a bucket. So let's say George pulls out Bailey's name. George will take all of Bailey's compliments and create a poster for Bailey. Over the years, I have had parents bring in fun materials to decorate the posters. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I will be sending a note home again the first day back next week asking for all sorts of fun decorating materials. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">BUT, this year instead of a poster, I am going to use the blank books I bought a few years ago </span><i><span style="font-size: large;">(I can't believe I never used them)</span></i><span style="font-size: large;"> from Target's Dollar Spot. I am super excited about this change and I think my students will like it too! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We take <strike>almost</strike> the whole day to focus on creating these posters! The students really put time, effort, and love into their designs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When everyone is done, we have snacks, drinks, and present each other with their posters. So George would get up and present Bailey with her poster. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Every.single.year this has been a huge hit in my classroom. I apologize to my last years class for not doing it. I really wish I did! IMHO...this is WAY better than getting those paper Valentine Cards!</span></div>

I can't even believe I haven't blogged a single thing since this summer! Like many teachers, I felt super overwhelmed at the beginning of this year and poured all my focus into my classroom and students. Now that we are half way though the year, I have learned so much about my students, my classroom design and teaching practices. I am really excited to share so many things with you all in 2017! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One HUGE step I took this year was with Flexible Seating. If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tonyastreatsforteachers/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, I am sure you have seen many pictures of my classroom. I did a lot of research this summer reading articles, applying for Donor's Choose grants, and going to GoodWill! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Kayla Delzer, of <a href="http://www.topdogteaching.com/" target="_blank">Top Dog Teaching</a>, was my huge inspiration! Her article on <a href="https://www.edutopia.org/blog/flexible-seating-student-centered-classroom-kayla-delzer" target="_blank">Edutopia</a> is a must read for anyone wanting to start flexible seating. I started pinning stuff on Pinterest and adding it to my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/tlroller/classroom-organization-and-set-up/" target="_blank">Classroom Organization</a> board. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After all this, I spoke with my principal and told her my plan. I asked her if I could get rid of desks and move my classroom toward flexible seating. My principal gave me the green light which was awesome! I went right into my classroom and got to work! I immediately started getting rid of desks. I can't believe it, but I ended up getting rid of 18 desks and found some tables no one was using!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">All I could think about each day was my design and how I was going to make it work. I shopped a lot and tried to not spend every penny I had! After a few weeks, my classroom was perfect! I was super excited to share it with my students and their parents at meet the teacher.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The day had come for meet the teacher and my new students were super excited! The parents, on the other hand, had a lot of questions! "Where is their seat?" "Where do they keep their things?" "How does this work?" I made sure to answer each and every parent question and did my best to assure them that everything was going to be ok! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the first two weeks with the students we spent a lot of time on procedures, expectations, rules, and consequences. Together we moved furniture around to make sure it fit the needs of the classroom. This is one of the best things about flexible seating!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the biggest procedures I have is how to select a seat. To me, flexible seating is just that...flexible! My students do not select seats and stay in them the whole day, week, month of whatever time frame other teachers use. They pick a seat every time we move and do a lesson. Whenever I do a whole group lesson, students either sit on the rug in the front or the large rectangle table. When I move into small groups or partner activities they choose wherever they want to sit. For every time I do a whole group lesson we follow these same patterns. My students do not argue, fight, save seats or get mad if someone else is sitting where they want. With a lot of practice and setting expectations, this behavior was easy to set in place! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Taking a look:)</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I took these pictures, I have moved a few things around! I also got one more Donor's Choose project funded and we will be getting 6 new chairs! I'll make sure to post another update soon!</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">Life has been so busy over the past two weeks! If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tonyastreatsforteachers/" target="_blank">IG</a>, you know I have been super busy in my classroom setting up! We go back...TUESDAY! We have four days of trainings, meetings, and workdays, meet the teacher is Thursday and then kids come MONDAY! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">I am in love with how my room is turning out. I am giving flexible seating a try and super excited to see how it goes. I will blog more later on my flexible seating and classroom reveal soon! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">Last year I blogged about starting a VIP table. You can read about it <a href="http://tonyastreatsforteachers.blogspot.com/2015/07/im-vip-classroom-management-strategy.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Overall, the VIP table went well last year. As a class we talked about what would make a VIP and created a word cloud together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">I picked two students each day to sit at the table with our new ball chairs. They had fun chains to wear, a box of cool materials, and sometimes I would leave candy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LcZXNflKsEw/V5RnNzwBP7I/AAAAAAAALb8/VZCxYKoX7CQYRmiRIWTH7fq0BE8p0etvACLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-07-23%2Bat%2B8.57.05%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LcZXNflKsEw/V5RnNzwBP7I/AAAAAAAALb8/VZCxYKoX7CQYRmiRIWTH7fq0BE8p0etvACLcB/s320/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-07-23%2Bat%2B8.57.05%2BPM.png" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">Every morning on the daily message I would tell the kids who the VIP's were for the day. I kept a Google Spreadsheet of who has been VIP. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">Like I said, it went well...for awhile. Here are some of the things I sit back on and reflect from last year.</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">sometimes the kids didn't like who they sat by</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">I would sometimes forget to update the supplies or leave a treat</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">the table took up too much room in the classroom! Fifth graders get SO big after winter break! </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">I started picking kids for the sake of picking kids</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">It started to lose its value about mid year. The spark was gone and they didn't really care about it. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">Most of this was my fault. I plan on being better about it this year. The part that I am so excited to change is the table.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">You see, with doing flexible seating this year I don't have a special table just for the VIP. The chairs in the picture are actually a spot for anyone to use. I still wanted to do the VIP but had to think of something creative. I thought a VIP box would be perfect!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">I had this blue shoe box, bought from Target of course, in my classroom and felt it was perfect! I added things I had already and new items I bought inside the box. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">In order to make this VIP box work, I knew I needed to add some directions inside. This is what I came up with. I printed it in black and white on card stock and then added some color:)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-midxlRGhCcg/V5Ro-ZmddII/AAAAAAAALcM/7ybpgqO6fYwRaQ3blZZK3kcYhzBU4ZJSgCLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-07-23%2Bat%2B8.37.47%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-midxlRGhCcg/V5Ro-ZmddII/AAAAAAAALcM/7ybpgqO6fYwRaQ3blZZK3kcYhzBU4ZJSgCLcB/s640/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-07-23%2Bat%2B8.37.47%2BPM.png" width="278" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">I created the materials list from what I added to the box. On the first week of school, we will pick some music together and add to my iPod...I made a mistake and write iTouch. Oh well! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">I also changed the fact I want some input of who they think should be the next days VIP. We will discuss this together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">I am really excited about having a VIP Box instead of a table!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">Would you like to try the VIP Box? I would love to hear about how you would use this in your classroom. Leave a comment with your email and I will send you my editable VIP Box labels so you can create your very own!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">Have a great rest of your weekend!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #351c75;">I am SO excited to bring you something special today! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year, I read <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Book-Whisperer-Awakening-Inner-Reader/dp/0470372273" target="_blank">The Book Whisperer</a> by Donalyn Miller and I was HOOKED! It changed my whole thinking about the way I was teaching reading...and I have a Masters in reading instruction! </div>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
So I went on Teachers Pay Teachers and found what I thought was an awesome resource to go with my 40 Book Challenge. I required students every day to write down what they read for homework, do a book review after every book, do book projects after every 10, I gave points, took points away, graded and used rubrics. This was EVERYTHING Donalyn said NOT.TO.DO!</div>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
I failed, bad! I never checked their logs and students lost their love of reading. I love the whole idea and concept behind the 40 Book Challenge so I knew I had to do something different. </div>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
My school is trying to go as paperless as possible. Each student in my class has their own Google Drive and their own Weebly portfolio. I do not use Google Classroom but have Hapara, a teacher dashboard for Google. I am able to send students Google Docs, Slideshows, Forms, and more. I can also monitor what they are doing. I love it. </div>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided to make a change with my challenge this year and go paperless! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Aloha Friends! I hope you are all having a great week so far!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How many of you are super excited to go see The BFG on July 1st?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7gKlSrndYE0/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7gKlSrndYE0?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know I am! I fell in love with this book the first time I read it 5 years ago! Every time I see the movie preview I get super excited and have a huge smile on my face! I know it's going to be great! It just has to be better than the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ey1PYsLGzE" target="_blank">older BFG movie</a>. If you've seen it, you know what I am talking about! It was horrible! I have linked it just in case you were wondering!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been spending the past few days giving my BFG Novel Study Notebook a MAJOR update! I went from 65 pages to 113!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>This has been my 3rd update and I am so excited to share it with you today!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All the pages for each chapter have stayed the same. I still kept the full size notebooks and the mini notebooks. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The following pictures will show you what I have added:)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Author Study Activity</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Students can visit a specific website I have linked to search for the answers. I have included an answer key. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">The BFG Projects</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I had a few projects before, but I have added a few more to give students more options. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My favorite one has to be the commercial! My 3rd graders back in 2010 had a blast creating their own drink to sell to The BFG. They wrote their commercial, pitched it to the class, brought in the actual drink they made at home and even shared it with the class!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">It's summer time!!! Oh sweet summer! I hope you all are enjoying your well deserved break! I know I am! So far I have meet up with friends, slept in, gone to the beach, read a book, took a PD, presented at a conference and spent time with my family! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know about you, but in the summer I love to eat fruit! Here in Hawaii we have these delicious <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/search/?q=acai+bowls" target="_blank">Acai bowls</a>! But depending on where you can get them, they can run you at least $10...for a SMALL! They are worth the price, but I found you can make them yourself...and save a ton of money!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am back with my friends <a href="http://extraspecialteaching.blogspot.com/2016/06/pinterest-approved-recipe-link-up-june.html" target="_blank">Angelia</a>, <a href="http://www.teachinginparadise.com/2016/06/pinterest-approved-recipe-link-up-june.html" target="_blank">Courtney</a> and <a href="http://www.teaching-with-style.com/" target="_blank">Nicole</a> for another Pinterest Approved Link Up!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There's a local place by my house that makes the most delicious green bowls with spinach and kale. I feel when I eat that bowl I am getting a healthy meal, full of veggies and it also tastes so good!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So today, I am bringing you an amazing recipe from two different blogs. I am going to share with you how I used bits and pieces from both blogs to create my own version of a smoothie bowl!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Below are my pictures and how I created my smoothie bowls!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">All my ingredients for the green part of my bowl.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Spinach, kale, banana, apple, kiwi, pineapple, mango, coconut water w/pineapple, and plain Kefir.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I add the spinach , kale, Kefir and coconut water first. I like to get the spinach and kale blended well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I am going, I always add more spinach, kale, Kefir and coconut water. I really to eye ball this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, I add the mango and pineapple, then the apple and kiwi. Every time I add something, I blend it well. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It will mix to a thick base. Taste it and see how you like it. You can always add more of something if it needs it. Once it is ready, I pour it into about 6 dishes and place in the freezer for a few minutes.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had some left over roast beef deli meet in the house I didn't want to go bad, so went right away to Pinterest to look for a recipe! I had almost all the ingredients so this recipe looked perfect!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I followed the directions on the website exactly as they had them. Usually I try to make recipes my own by adding or changing the ingredients, but I am so happy that I didn't...because this recipe turned out great!</span></div>

I can't believe it has been almost three...yes, THREE months since I have blogged last. I literally have zero excuses but I am working on getting back into the swing of things. I see I have lost some followers along the way:( I totally get it though. It does break my heart, but I promise to get my act together and fall in love with blogging and creating again!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Ok, enough of that;)</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Right before spring break, we had a little bit of down time while students were finishing assignments to turn in. I gave each student a shamrock color pop art sheet from <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/St-Patricks-Day-FREE-1138990" target="_blank">Art with Jenny K</a>. They got right to work spending their time coloring:) My room was silent!</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;"><b>Students in their table teams got an iTouch for photographs, a stack of newspaper and 1 roll of tape. They had a set amount of time to discuss and plan how they were going to build their shelter.</b></span><br />

Life really has been so busy that I have not had a second to sit down and blog!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">As of 2016 I will be taking my blog into a new direction! My focus will be more on content and examples of what I am doing in my classroom. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">I have looked back at some of my old blog posts and all I did was prompt my TpT shop, linky parties and freebies. Don't get me wrong, you will see some of my new products I have had in the works, but this blog won't be that focus. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">To start off this new focus, I want to share something super fun my 5th graders did this year for Christmas!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">For the past 6 years, I have always done a mug exchange with a Polar Express party. Since I'm teaching a new grade this year, I wanted to try something new. I bring you...the Crazy Sock Exchange!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Every student brought in a pair of crazy socks filled with goodies. Their max spending cost was $10, which included the cost of the sock.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">The day of the exchange, the students grabbed their own sock and sat in a circle.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Next, I read a story I found on Pinterest. Every time they heard RIGHT, they would pass it to the right. Every time they heard LEFT, they would pass it to the left.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">I did have a few students who brought socks that were not holiday socks, some boys ended up with more girly socks, some girls got more boyish socks, and some socks didn't fit. But overall, I would totally do this again. Maybe a boy/girl circle instead.</span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">How is your weekend going so far? Today marks the first day of my fall break and I am so excited to enjoy a week off! I have two days of a digital leadership conference, plenty of TpT things to catch up on, sleeping in, going to the beach, catching up with friends and family and a ton of yard work. Now that I think of it, that doesn't sound like much of a break. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">I wanted to start of my break by sharing with you something my 5th graders look forward to every day! I call it my Daily Graffiti Wall. I got the idea from <a href="https://instagram.com/miss5th/" target="_blank">Miss 5th</a> over in IG. Every day I post some kind of question on the board and the kids get to answer it. It's so simple, yet so engaging! They look forward to it every morning when they walk in. Here are some of the pictures from my wall!</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">Sorry for not blogging, sorry for being absent, sorry for not reading blogs, sorry for not making new products, and sorry for not being around. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><br />
<b>What I am not sorry for is...</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">The time I have spent with my husband</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">The time I have spent with my friends and family</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">The time I have spent getting to know my amazing 5th graders</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">The down time I have given myself</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><br />
I have been in school now for 6 weeks! It's crazy! 5th grade is a whole different world...But...I LOVE it with every ounce of my body! I think I have the best class I've ever had. They are amazing, talented, they ask questions, they listen, they don't fight, they all get along, they respect me, they don't argue, zero behavior problems, they're such nice kids, and we just click! I am truly blessed!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><br />
Over the course of 6 weeks, I think I have changed the way I teach my literacy block and math block like a bazillion time! I have gone from handwriting lessons plans, to typing them, now back to handwriting them. I am all over the place. I am trying to find my groove and what works for me and the kids. I think I finally found my groove and I feel so much better! </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><br />
5th grade moves SO fast and the curriculum has been a HUGE learning curve for me. A few times I have found myself teaching the wrong way. I am getting there. Any tips in 5th grade land would be great!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><br />
I have never in all my 10 years of teaching asked for the kids input into how they are learning. This year I am finding myself doing that all the time. I want them to feel ownership in their learning. I want them to want to learn. It really has changed the way I do things. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><br />
I will promise to be back more often. I have a long list of things I want to share and create! </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><br />
I want to leave you with some pictures of my year so far! I promise to take more and share with you all the great things my class is doing this year! </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">Welcome to my classroom! Hopefully I will take some better pictures soon!</span><br />

I can't believe it's already here! I haven't linked up for a currently in a long time so I thought since I had some time today I would:)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CIOfqjg24_U/Vb17M8Td9eI/AAAAAAAALJg/5JWHu1ZEDBI/s1600/Presentation1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CIOfqjg24_U/Vb17M8Td9eI/AAAAAAAALJg/5JWHu1ZEDBI/s640/Presentation1.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">It is so quiet in my house...I love it! The air is going upstairs and it's just me and my kitties! No music, no tv, no hubby! </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">I am in LOVE with my new move to 5th grade! I have had the best week ever! My kids are wonderful and I think I have built a positive bond between us over the past 3 days! I hope this keeps going. I will be back soon to show you my room and discuss some more about my new adventure in 5th grade land! </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">I really think I want to take a nap! I have so much work to do {needing} but it's kinda hard when I can't keep my eyes open! That's the reason why I think we should have an extra day in our weekends{wanting}! We all need that day to catch up and recoup! Right?!?!?!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Like Farley, I too want to do Mailbox surprises. I did them a few years ago during Christmas time. I would like to do something all year long! It's just a simple and easy way to say thank you and hello to your coworkers! I am thinking small card and maybe a piece of candy, hand sanitizer, gum, or a new pen. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Do you have any ideas?</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">I hope you're all having a great weekend! I am off to check out more currentlys over at <a href="http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Farley's blog</a>!</span><br />

I hope you have had a great weekend! It's been a pretty relaxing one over here! It is super hot, sticky, humid, and just plain nasty outside...so I am keeping myself inside and busy! I might take a trip to the beach and relax later today though! </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Back to school time is approaching...blah! One thing I really wanted to try last year was a V.I.P table but I was unable to. Well, this year I am trying it and I couldn't be more excited!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">What is a V.I.P table you may ask? Well, after seeing some blog post from other bloggers I knew I had to do this! I wish I had my area to show you and blog about, but I don't.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">A V.I.P table is a special place you can have students sit. Some teachers pick two or three students per day to sit at the table. At the table there are special goodies for them to use throughout the day. Some teachers move students during the day!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">I am going to show you three blogs where you can find some awesome V.I.P ideas! Please check out these fabulous teachers by clicking on their button!</span><br />

It's been far too long since I have blogged! I really just took the first two weeks or so and decompressed. I didn't do anything school or TpT related. I needed to! </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">I can't believe I go back to work in just about a month, so it is really time to kick it in gear and get my to-do list complete!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">One HUGE thing I had on my list for a long time was to make over my BFG novel unit. Last week the #tptsellerchallenge was announced on IG and I new I just had to take part! The first week was makeover madness! So perfect! I got started right away, but little did I know this unit was going to take forever!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">I am very happy with how it turned out! I added new questions, new projects, and even a mini notebook for those that want to save paper:)</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">OMG is right! 5th will be a new adventure for me! I am scared, nervous, excited, hopeful, and a million other feelings all at the same time! I have never taught higher than 3rd before...so believe me, my feelings are quite real:) But I am confident that I got this...and I will do well. Sure I will make some mistakes, and sure I might be a bit stressed out next year...but I know I will learn, grow, and develop as an educator! </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Here's to 5th grade!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">I can't believe I have 12 more days with my students. I am really ready for this year to be over. It's been a long one for sure. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Last year I looped so I have had most of my kids for 2 years. I thought I would like it...some days I do, but by this time of the year, I am exhausted and they are ready to move on!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Since we end the year before Father's Day, I wanted the kids to make something special their dads. I saw this super cute picture on <a href="http://beingfrugalsally.blogspot.ca/2013/05/kids-crafts-and-fun.html" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">I thought it was SOOOO cute! So, I made a little writing activity to go with it:)</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">I plan on having the kids take their photo this week and getting them developed. The kids will write why their dad is a super hero in their eyes!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Many buyers asked if I could add some clip art to each page so their students could recognize the letters. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Well, I finally added the clip art and I am really happy with out it turned out! Here's a look at one of the pages! </span></div>

I hope you are having an amazing week so far. Today is a quick post about two things I really want to share with you all!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">First...have you heard? It's a super Teachers Pay Teachers sale!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-32x2qgFxs_w/VO1SZEq6dFI/AAAAAAAALAI/lATbVURImBI/s1600/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-32x2qgFxs_w/VO1SZEq6dFI/AAAAAAAALAI/lATbVURImBI/s1600/unnamed.jpg" height="313" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am so ready to shop, plus empty out my wishlist! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My store is on sale to make it 28% off! Don't forget to use promo code HEROES to get that extra 8%!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This past week was Chinese New Year. My class celebrated by watching this video first.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/2EUsmbqnuw8/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2EUsmbqnuw8?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Then I passed out blank sheep I bought from <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Black-White-Detailed-Sheep-Coloring-Sheet-2015-Chinese-New-Year-1343256" target="_blank">Pamela Kennedy</a>! Let me tell you...this lady is talented! Best dollar I ever spent! I WILL go back and buy more. My boys and girls who normally scribble did not! They did some of the best work I have ever seen from them. Even my SPED kids worked really hard. It seemed to be super calming for them.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="540" src="//flipagram.com/f/RCjzw9SSwC/embed" width="540"></iframe>
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">While they were coloring, we listened to some Chinese music!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am so impressed with my class! My principal took their art and put it in the art gallery up in the office! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What fun things did you do for Chinese New Year?</span><br />
<br />
