First off, I'm not a last minute planner like the hubby! I like to have things planned out to a degree, lol. He would probably just fly by the seat of his pants, but that makes me nervous!! So, I need your help!! Last night the hubby and I decided this coming summer we'd like to go spend some time in Utah! I have flown over this gorgeous state and driven through parts of it, but have never really had the chance to stop and visit! So, what are the must sees, things you'd wouldn't want to miss, places we might want to stay over?? My guess is we will have a week or two to enjoy this beautiful state! Please send me your suggestions!! Thanks, from the hubby and me!!</span><br />

<br />
It seems like it's been forever since I've posted on here. And let me tell you, a lot has happened in these past 4 weeks. On September 19th our family welcomed this "new" little bundle of sunshine into our lives!! I'd like to introduce Braxton!! This little pumpkin is just 2 days old in this first picture. He weighed 10 lbs 2.4 oz and was a whopping 23 1/2 inches long. Momma had him naturally after 28 hours of labor. He had a little bit of swelling from the IV fluids and trying to make a grand appearance!! And, has been struggling to get back to his birth weight after losing all those fluids, but he is finally climbing back up there! Yeah!!<br />
<br />

Daddy is a big "hunter", so a friend of Braxton's mommy made him his very own "deer hat and panties". The panties even had a little tail and the hat sported antlers! Adorable!! Right?!!<br />

<br />I am so thankful the little guy waited until I got home from California to arrive! I don't know what I would have done if I had missed his birth! He is just too sweet and loves to snuggle!<br />
<br />
I'm also celebrating a milestone with TPT! It has taken a little while to reach, but feels wonderful knowing I've made it! I'm celebrating by having a 15% sale over at my store till Sunday evening! <br />

I recently posted my October First Grade Daily Math! My Daily Math products for kindergarten and first grade review and introduce the Common Core Standards for that particular grade level. They spiral throughout the month/year and help the kiddos understand the concepts and build on ones from the previous months! Here is a small sampling of what each looks like!!<br />

I just spent a whirlwind week with my little sister traveling around California! It was a very unexpected trip for me. She was going out to visit her son, but some unexpected things came up and he was unable to be there to meet her, so she asked me to go along! Whew! I had to book a flight, find places for us to stay and get an agenda ready in under a week! Yikes!!<br />
<br />
So, off we went on an adventure! We did a quick stop over in Vegas for a night! Lybbie had tickets to see Ron White at the Mirage, so we spent one day walking around and seeing the sights in Vegas. While sight seeing we stopped off at the Bellagio and the Venetian. What beautiful hotels! We were going to go on a gondola ride, but after the show it was a bit late and both of us we're pooped out!! <br />

A couple of our favorite stops in California were Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. We were afraid we might not get to go to Sequoia due to the fires, but all was good. We saw 3 little bear cubs!! Adorable! Hiked from Wolverton to the General Sherman. Absolutely a gorgeous hike!! I would highly recommend the hike over the shuttle to anyone. The scenery was beautiful and so peaceful and well worth the time spent hiking the 2 miles! The General Sherman is a sight everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime!! I've been there a couple of times and it still takes my breath away! <br />
<br />
Yosemite was beautiful as well!! While driving up the mountain side
there are many stops for breathtaking views! Moro Rock can be seen from
several different spots and is quite a sight. The falls were dry, but
the walk back to the lower falls was beautiful!! Just beautiful! It always amazes me when I go to places such as these how creative God is and how much beauty we have here on Earth! If these places are so beautiful, I can't even imagine how beautiful heaven will be some day!!<br />

Our main destination was LA. What a busy, busy city! We drove down to Santa Monica Pier, walked along the coast, saw Rodeo Drive and spent a little time on Hollywood Blvd. We both decided we're small town girls and the hustle and bustle of the big city are just not for us! But, it was fun seeing all the sights!! <br />

And, probably the most important thing was my new little grandson didn't arrive on the scene while I was gone!! Yeah!! He can come any time now! Mamaw is home!!<br />

<br />
One of my favorite subjects in kindergarten is Math!! It always amazes me how little minds work. Does any one else feel this way? Little ones can solve problems in so many ways and sometimes I have no idea how they arrived at the conclusions that they did, but they are spot on!! <br />
<br />
So, today let's talk math!! (Just so ya all know, I'd do this with any grade level. I'm just sharing from a kindergarten perspective!)<br />
<br />
In my classroom each day we spend part of our day introducing and reviewing common core concepts using my Kindergarten Daily Math units. We also spend part of our day doing an activity called "Math Talk". I've talked about "Math Talk" before, but thought I'd share a little bit about it again, since it is a quick and easy way to tie in some of the standards each day in your classroom!<br />
<br />
Basically "Math Talk" is a conversation about a picture. The little ones are using math language during our conversations (after much modeling) and sometimes we even incorporate our comprehension strategies into our discussions. We always begin our conversations talking about what they notice in the pictures. Many times the little people are able to infer something about what they think is going on in the
picture by clues and it is so neat to see how their thinking changes as
they gain more information from their classmates (synthesizing). <br />
<br />
One of the standards for kindergarten is to d<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #202020; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: 'Lato Light'; font-size: 16.7999992370605px;

A little bit of playing! And, a little bit of nature!!I'm sure you're all wondering, what in the world is she sharing with us this time?? <br />
<br />
Well, finally we've started getting ready for our home construction!! Can I hear a "Oh, ya"!!? We have owned our property for about 10 years now and thought we'd be building on it 3 years in, but several obstacles got in our way (my husband's broken leg, a knee replacement, my back surgery and my momma being diagnosed with cancer among other things). A little over 2 years ago we moved out to what we commonly refer to as "The Triangle". Strange things seems to happen out here and the property is shaped kinda like a triangle (according to hubby), more like a trapezoid if ya all ask me, lol. <br />
<br />
Currently, we are living in a 720 square foot apartment above our garage. Now, it is an adorable little apartment and I do have laundry facilities out here now! So, I've been pretty happy about the whole thing other than we have no closets really. That's been a bit tricky and we've had to be a little creative! <br />
<br />
On Monday our excavator began knocking down trees in the area where the house is going to be built. I was so excited and so nervous to see all of those trees being pushed into a huge, I'm telling ya, a huge pile!! One of my little grandsons loves any kind of motor vehicle or equipment that moves. So, mamaw gave him a call and he came out to watch. He had a ball!!! Not only did he get to see Chuck excavating, but was invited to get up on the equipment! This was huge for Wyatt!! <br />
<br />
Our little deer have been loving it as well! All summer I thought we had 2 babies, but apparently there were 3 little all along. Somewhere one has been hiding! They have been playing in the opened up area this week and I can't tell you how fun it is to watch them run and chase!! <br />
<br />
Hopefully, all of the digging and moving of dirt will be completed early next week and then the basement wall can be put into place. Yeah!! School starts in just about 2 weeks and my husband's class will be building the main part of the house. And, I will get to help!! Whoo! Hoo!<br />
<br />
Enjoy the pictures below and I will try to keep you up to speed on the progress and how we're doing! <br />

I just thought I'd share a few of the things I'd been working on for her. I love Pinterest, but sometimes it can be a really, really bad thing, if ya know what I mean, lol. My daughter is going to be teaching Pre-K this year and she has been very busy finding things on Pinterest she'd like to decorate her room with. She finds it and then asks mom to create it!! So, I've been a little busy making stuff for her the past week or so and just thought I'd show you a few of "super heroes" I've created. <br />
<br />
First up, is her door sign. I don't know who originally had this idea, but it's adorable!! All Kaele has to do is tie a yellow ribbon in the top right-hand corners! Then, it will be complete!<br />

I know this is a teaching blog, but sometimes it's just fun to share family! <br />
<br />
My son and his wife just returned from their vacation up in Chetek, Wisconsin. My husband and I have been discussing about going up to Wisconsin in the near future to try out the four-wheeler trails. They look so fun!! Any recommendations??? I know some of you live in that area, so what do you think??<br />
<br />
Any who, I thought I'd share a few pictures of my adorable little babies! Who doesn't love seeing pictures of little ones?! So, sit back and enjoy!<br />
<br />
This cool little dude is Wesson! He is going to be a first grader this next school year and the oldest of all of my grandbabies! Not so much a baby anymore! <br />

Dani (<a href="http://www.crayonboxlearning.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Crayonbox Learning</a>) did an amazing job and was fantastic to work with!! Just click on the above link to get to her blog. My adorable clip art is from Mel Lloyd (<a href="http://graphicsfromthepond.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Graphics from the Pond</a>)! Mel was a dear and helped me out when I wasn't sure what to do!! I can't say enough about how great these two girls were in helping me!! They both answered a bunch of questions and were always willing to answer! Thank you Dani and Mel! You're both the best!!

To say the kids were always asking if it was science time would be an understatement! They loved science!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #f6f7f8; color: #141823; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16.0799999237061px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">So, tonight I thought I'd share a little on our egg science!! Now, these experiments were done in April, so please forgive me for not posting on my blog sooner. I did post them on my school facebook page, so they didn't really happen today. This is the post I shared with my parents!! Hope you're able to grab a few ideas to use with your little ones this next school year!!<br /><br />Today we traveled outside to perform our science experiments with eggs! It was so much fun and these little people could hardly wait for the day to be half over, so we could go outside and see what would happen with our eggs. Yes, we used real fresh eggs! No, they were not hard boiled. Needless to say, we had a few little egg white and yolk spills, but no biggie! Too much fun!<br /><br />I think their favorite experiment was the one involving inertia. To perform this experiment we filled a glass cup with water, put a tin pie plate on top of the glass. Then, we put a toilet paper roll on the pie tin right above the glass. On the tippy top of the toilet paper roll we put a fresh egg. Finally, you hit the side of the tin pie plate with your hand. The plate slide off and the toilet paper roll holds the egg in the air for just a moment and then drops into the glass of water. The first time Mrs. McLaren hit the tin, the egg did not fall into the glass. However, the next time it did. Cheers from all the little people!! Yeah!<br /><br />The pictures where you see the green paper plate was another really cool experiment. For this one all you need is a paper plate, an egg and an empty water bottle. Crack the egg onto the paper plate. Gently place the water bottle right over the yolk. Squeeze the water bottle and suck the yolk up into the bottle. So cool!!!<br /><br />The last group of pictures shows the little cowpokes trying to break the eggs by squeezing them. If you put your hand around an egg and squeeze it will not break. If you hold the egg by your index finger and thumb with one on the top and one on the bottom and squeeze, again it will not break. Amazing! <br /><br />We have one experiment we are going to have to try again. It didn't work out today. You need a glass jar (we tried it with plastic), a piece of paper to burn, a lighter or matches and an egg. The egg needs to be a little fatter than the opening on the jar. You light the paper on fire, drop it into the jar and place the egg up and down on the jar. The heat is supposed to soften the membrane of the egg to allow it to drop down into the jar. We were not successful today, but we will be trying again!! <br /><br />Hope you enjoy our pictures and maybe try some of these fun "eggy" experiments at home with your little ones!!</span><br />

There are instructions on how you might choose to use the research packet, a list of 49 different animals and the research pages for each, plus blank copies of the research pages, just in case you have an animal you'd like your little ones to study that wasn't included in the packet!<br />

I've also included the Common Core Standards for Kindergarten and 1st grade. Many of the 2nd grade standards are also covered, as well as some 3rd grade. Below are a few pictures of the research pages along with a student sample about alligators done by one of my kindergarteners!! Who doesn't just love the way a kindergartener thinks!! <br />

For the upper grades, you might want to change the research pages to "Creature Features"! Below are the pages in this part of the research packet. First, I give an explanation for the feature, then there is a student page where they fill in the information about their creature's feature and draw an illustration of their creature. I've included a couple of samples of the writing parts done by a first grade. I found I wanted to change these pages after we did this activity, so the illustrations are not included. So, sorry!!<br />

Debbie totally got me fired up about intentionally teaching comprehension strategies to my students several years ago. So, when I found out Mr. Greg and <a href="http://fromkindergartenwithlove.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">From Kindergarten With Love</a> were hosting this little book study I decided to join.<br />

Chapter 5 focuses in on the reason it is so important to use schema/maps and charts with your students. It helps the little ones make a connections between something they know and something they're going to be learning about. They provide a great opportunity for classroom discussion, not only between teacher/students, but between students/students. What a perfect way to introduce nonfiction to children and to get them excited about learning!! My students are always excited to share what they think they knew about something prior to diving into our research. They are often amazed by the new information gained through our reading, photographs and using online resources. Sometimes, it is difficult for them to give up on an idea and move it to the misconceptions part of our chart. I think it's because they've believed it so long, they just thought it had to be true, lol. </div>

I loved trying to make our schema charts look like the creature we were learning about. When introducing spiders to my little kindergarteners I hung up a giant spider web. Prior to our discussion each child had created a spider. During our classroom discussion each child shared something they "thought" they knew about spiders. I wrote these tidbits onto their spiders' body. We attached all of their spiders to our giant web titled "What I Know About Spiders" with "Sticky Tack" for easy removal. As we began our study on spiders, we found out through the evidence in our books and information gained online, that some of our information was a misconception. We moved these tidbits to a different web for misconceptions. As we learned new information about spiders (during "Art" Center they were able to create additional spiders for our "New Information" web) we wrote the new information down on the spiders and added them on to a web titled "New Information". Just a fun way to excited your little ones about learning!! So what we want!! Love it!<br />

Goals for the Summer!!<br />
<br />
When school ended for the summer, I had several goals in mind to accomplish this summer. I know the summer is well underway! Jeesh, it's already July and I'm still trying to get into a routine!! But, I am working on my goals!!! <br />
<br />
Goal #1 - To get our house plans drawn well enough that my husband and his class could start building in the fall (well, they're kind of done) :0) Currently, we are waiting for Ameren to come move our transformer and underground electric line<br />
<br />
Goal #2 - Revamp my blog! I can honestly say this goal is well underway! Yeah, thank you Dani over at Crayon Box Designs!! Can't wait to see my new look! This is something I've needed to do for a long time, but just kept putting it off.<br />
<br />
Goal #3 - Look over my TPT Store and redo some of my earlier units and packets. So far, I've redone about 5 of them. Who knew this would be such a process, lol. My fault I know because I want them to be eye catching and appealing. And, most of them are "freebies"!! You'll have to check them out!<br />
<br />
Goal #4 - ???? I have so many ideas floating around in my head it's hard to sleep sometimes! I'm afraid to write down more than 3 goals. I don't want to neglect any of them. Maybe once I get one checked off the list, I'll share my next ones with you!!<br />
<br />
My students love playing "Hedbanz" by Spin Master Games and this game reinforces "questioning" and "inferring" two of the comprehension strategies we work on throughout the year. So, I created the following cards for a "holiday" version of the game. Playing is quite simple. After dealing one card and three chips to each player, take your card and place it in your adjustable headband without peeking. You could also just regular cotton elastic headbands and paper clip the card to the front. When it's your turn, ask each player a question about who, or what, you are ("Am I a food"?) If you get stuck, the sample question cards offer tips on the types of questions you might ask. A variation of the game would be for the child with the card to give clues to his/her classmates one clue at a time. Each child guesses who, where or who the person giving clues might be. If no one guesses after the first clue the child giving clues gives an additional clue to the group until someone guesses the correct answer.<br />

Understanding how to infer or make an inference from text is often difficult for children. However, children make inferences all the time without realizing exactly what they are doing. It is important to share with them that making inferences is like being a detective. You look at all the evidence or clues and put them together to come up with an idea about a situation. I explain to my students that often writers do not state the way a character feels or what's happening in the story explicitly. Instead, they include details and we as readers must use these details to make inferences about what's occurring in the story. When you infer, you use observations, prior knowledge, experiences and details from the text to make connections and come up with ideas. The following movement cards are a great way to introduce children to inferring!<br />
<br />
This activity is similar to charades with students pantomiming or acting out a word or phrase on their movement chard without speaking. For example, "catching a fish". The child might pretend to be casting out their line and then reeling in a fish. The child pantomiming the action calls on his/her peers to infer what they think the action is, based on the clues of the movement. For example, the child might answer, "I infer you are fishing, because you were casting out your line and reeling in a fish".<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Hello sweet friends!! This week's challenge is "Dare to Dream"! </b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #454545; font-family: "Droid Serif"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 26.18px; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;">First up on my "Dare to Dream" list, is spending more time with my family. Both my "real" family and my former "school" family. I have six little grandbabies and a newbie on the way in early
September. So, I know I won't be lacking for fun and exciting things to
do. This year will be a whole new experience for me, as I recently retired from teaching! That doesn't mean I won't still be involved with little ones. My daughter is going to be teaching Pre-K and I plan on visiting my dear friends at my school I just left, as well as visiting my grandkids for lunch, etc. Yeah!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Next up, is helping to build our new home along with my husband's Building Trades class this next school year. Each year my husband's high school class helps to build a home in our community. This next school year it will be our very own home, that is, if we get our utility service moved and the basement poured. It is so hard waiting around on other people to get their jobs done! But, it will be okay! When you're retired there is always tomorrow, lol! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #454545; font-family: "Droid Serif"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 26.18px; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; clear: both; color: #454545; font-family: 'Droid Serif'; font-size: 18.7000007629395px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 26.1800003051758px; orphans: auto; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Finally, I have been a part of TPT for the past 3 years and would like to
spend more of my time creating and learning how to social network with
others like you. I have to admit I haven't been a very good blogger over the past year and I need to make a much more concentrated effort to share with you each week. I also need to learn how to use the social networking sites better. I'm learning how to use "Instagram" and "Facebook" a little bit more each day. Maybe by the end of summer I'll have the hang of it! Let's hope!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Molengo; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> It's fun to go back and see what I thought was a "cute" unit when I started on TPT and see what appeals to me now. So, to help me do this I'm joining the TPT Sellers Challenge! <span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 21.4667px;">I am very excited about working on some older units this summer and spicing them up! </span></span><span style="font-size: small; line-height: 1.4;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This challenge gives me the opportunity to share with you these improvements (or at least I feel they're a little cuter)! If you'd like to join the "challenge" you can click on the picture below!! </span><span style="font-family: Molengo;"> </span></span><br />

Splish, Splash Ducky Math!!</div>

Today we began new Math Centers. I think this is going to be a favorite. It was so simple to make and the little group today loved it. Their job was to choose 2 duckies in the pond (Each momma duck and baby had a number written on their bottoms between 1-6). Next, they turned them over and decide if they were going to add the numbers on the bottom of their duckies together or subtract them. Then, they recorded their number sentences and solutions on their recording sheets. After they solved their problem they returned the duckies to the pond and chose 2 more.</div>

I bought the little duckies and pond (a giant blue bowl) from the Dollar Tree. Total cost $5!! And so much fun!!</div>

I have not been a very good blogger this year. I don't really know why, but I've just felt a bit swamped! I have a great group of little people this year and they are so busy learning. We just started our Community Helper unit this past week and had our very first visitor. Officer Arnold!!<br />
<br />
Officer Candi Arnold came to share all about her career with us. The little cowpokes were quite fascinated with her taser, handcuffs, pepper spray, etc. Before Officer Arnold came to visit, we did a lot of reading and writing about police officers. Below are a few pictures the children's final writing and samples of the different emergent readers I've created to help us learn about these important people in our community. Next week we have several more community helpers coming to visit. I'm hoping to get my community helper graphic organizers posted for you to see real soon. You might want to check out my little emergent readers over at my TPT store!! You can click on any of the samples below to take you to the link in my store. <br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Wild About Animals Mini Research Packet"</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I absolutely love watching kindergarteners grow as writers throughout the year! It amazes me how much they change as writers from the first day of school to the end of the year. For one of their Writing Centers this month, my little cowpokes have been sharing what they know about different animals. They began their research papers by using adjectives to describe their creature. Teaching little people about using descriptive words is often challenging and interesting! Not sure they quite got it, but they had fun trying!! </span><br />

<br />
I'm linking up with Greg over at "Kindergarten Smorgasboard" to share some of my favorite books for the week!! This week we're going to finish up "Sneezy the Snowman" and move on to Arctic Animals. I feel like I've been living in the Arctic this winter. Once again we are out of school due to the super cold wintery conditions! Day number 5! Yikes! It feels like since Christmas Break we've been out of school more than in school. The little cowpokes were so excited last Friday to be in school! I'm hoping to be back in school tomorrow, so we can get started on our "icy friends"! One of my absolute favorite fiction arctic animal books is "Tooth Trouble". What a great little book to reinforce our learning on text-to-self connections and inferences. Hope you'll check out some of our favorite books for January!! If you'd like to link up with "Kindergarten Smorgasboard" just click on "Books I Love". Thanks for stopping by and checking out some of our favorite books for this last "icy" week in January!!<br />

Brr...!!! It's cold outside! </div>

Don't know about all of you, but I'm glad I have a home that is cozy inside!! The wind chill here in Central Illinois is extremely cold today. Our district has already cancelled school for tomorrow! This is unheard of this early in the day, but they don't want to risk little ones waiting on buses or staff driving into to work. So... I've been playing around on my ipad creating and on my computer. Here are a few of my new creations!!</div>
