Tara, Ticonderoga, and Team

Ok so I did it.. I folded and took pics


Photobucket
I am linking up to Tara's FAB linky party!!!
you should too because you can win a LUNCH BAG from 31!!!!
how cool is that???

I really wanted my NEW and cute FARLEY
31 tote
BUT
Kari still has it
SOOOOOOO bring on my vintage Farley 31
which I LOVE
and here is my lunch....

salad and very big turkey sandwich
and a cutie
did you know cuties are for kids?
I stole it from my kid (((WINK)))
too much food....
so I threw the half eaten stuff away
(germ freak)
and sealed up the rest for manana (that means tomorrow)

here are my lunch buddies' lunches too!!!
Monkey (that's what I call her) had already eaten her Lean Cuisine.... YUMM!!!
and Itty Bitty (another nickname) had her lunch catered by Olive Garden...
her mama and baby girl visit once a week and her AWESOME MAMA
brought her OLIVE GARDEN
today!!!



here are my lunch details...
we eat at 12:05
we pick up the kids at 12:35
ok 12:37
 we head out to recess right after lunch for about 15 minutes
I enjoy my lunch time
because it overlaps with my 3rd grade buddies  for about 10-15 minutes and then
it overlaps with my 5th grade buddies for another 10-15 minutes
Lunch is always a HOOT and a great time to unwind and share great stories!!!

**********************************squirrel***************************************
I wanted to share with you what I got in the mail today!!!!
OH EM GEEWILLIKERS
it was like getting a BIRCHBOX
but for teachers!!!
really it was that fantastic!!!
can you see why I was soooooooo excited???
OH MY GOSH
what teacher would not like to get this in the mail???
I LOVE MARKERS!!!
LUV LUV LUV
and I got a 30 pack of Ticonderoga PENCILS
PRE-SHARPENED pencils
MY FAVE
this is SOOOOOOOO cool...
I can't wait to show my kiddos
this really neat guide to how a pencil is made...
SOOOO neat!!!
There were some other goodies in there too like
LYRA groove slim colored pencils (picture on my FACEBOOK PAGE)... they are super neat
because they have polka dot grip zones to help grip them correctly

I just wanted to say THANKS to Brittany at Dixon Ticonderoga for sending me this AWESOME PACKAGE...and just in time for NATIONAL PENCIL DAY MANANA!!!

THAT IS RIGHT

NATIONAL PENCIL DAY IS

MARCH 30TH!!!!

go out and buy some pencils to celebrate!!!!

Ticonderoga...if you're cool like that!!!


******************************squirrel*********************************************
Remember I told you a few posts ago
that I LOVE Becky from
Dots n Spots


well today I loved her all over again!!!!
we used her math wall poster set 1 and 2...
these are fabulous math vocab posters!!!!




I wanted to make a lapbook/mini office of sorts for
all of the Math Vocab we need to know for the next round of testing
so I shrank Becky's word wall posters down and
KA POW
my kids have their own personal math word wall
each color represents a different section for EASY referral purposes
like the hot pink was the  Geometry section
and the purple was Algebraic Thinking
and orange was Numbers and Operations
and so on!!!
these posters (now mini posters) have great definitions and great pics....LUV THEM!!!!
I am sooooooo happy with the way it turned out
and the kids loved them too
I am going to get them laminated for durability and YAY we are going to use use use use these ALL the time!!! ALL THE TIME!!!

thanks BECKY!!!

*******************************wrap up*****************************************
referring to yesterday's things I told you I would write about....
1. disinfecting was done but infectious disease was not infectious and not so much a disease...
overreaction MAYBE... but we had a nice review of washing hands and how you DO NOT share germs.... insert poster....

I kinda get a little CRAY CRAY when my kiddos get sick!!!

ok and then I have the second thing...
yesterday I went to PE with my kiddos and played a
dodge ball like game
BUT NOT DODGE BALL
it involved scooter boards, a variety of balls, a bowling pin
2 teams
a basketball court
two hula hoops in the middle of the court...
OBJECT get your bowling pin 
that is balanced on your scooter board to your designated hula hoop
BUT your pin canNOT fall off or you have to go to the end of the line
all the while you are trying to scoot your board with a balanced bowling pin the other team also with scooters and pins are throwing balls to try to knock your pins off
and
and
and the catch you have to do this on your knees.....
ALL OF IT...
move your scooter board, throw balls, and score
ON YOUR KNEES...
needless to say I am unable to walk normally today
BUT I did only get out once yesterday!!!!
ONCE HA HA I was the queen of DODGE BALL PIN DERBY!!!!
I mean... it was FUN!!!
IT WAS AWESOME!!!!
MY TEAM ROCKED IT!!!

bunnies, mice, and birds

I wanted to share some quick
and EASY and
CHEAP
ways to encourage your kiddos
on the upcoming state tests
(just the thought of a state test gives me liver pain... really it does...
I have stress induced liver pain... OUCH)
anywho I wanted my kiddos to know how much I believe in them
SOOOOOOOOOOOO
I came up with these goodies
and thought you guys might want to do these too


snack sized baggie and one bunny peep
gave these to them Friday before they went home
 they LUVD them
like {puffy} heart love

  
yep another cute paperclip
got them from Hob Lob
will give this to them on Monday...
test is Tuesday and Wednesday

little egg and a strip of encouragement
thought of putting in a REAL PEEP
BUT....

no room
they will get this before they leave on Monday




so there you have it...
3 little things
so easy too
all materials were bought at TARGET
see now you have an excuse to head off to TARGET
a teacher's BFF

****************************squirrel***********************************************

 just finished reading this to my class...
it took a while because it is a little high for 4th
IMO
I had to stop and explain a lot
for me I enjoyed it!!!
lots of mice and royalty
and funny point of views
I laughed while my kids gave me the what look
overall great funny book!!!

***********************************squirrel**************************************
did a little review of lines and angles
they did great


sorry for the blurry pic
took pics with cell phone
you get the point...right?

 ********************************squirrel******************************************
this is how I left my table
stacks of papers to be graded
my fave teacher book... 10 things by Jeff Anderson
TELPAS booklet (put it in a locked closet before I left... can't risk losing that)
my to do list almost all checked off... HOLLA
ticket jar, bug house, and stamps
everyday I'm shuffling
cue dancing hamsters



and this is how I left my desk
not too bad but still
a shuffling


why in such a hurry?
to leave on a Friday?
had to grab some
me time at Chuys
with my girls!!!!

**************************************last time***********************************

just wanted to share a website with you before I leave you on  this LuVeRLy Saturday

it is BEEUUUTEEFULL here in my neck of the woods
cue Al Rocker


my kids are obsessed with this website... it is


this website has live animal cams
that are stationed all over the states and other countries too
my class enjoys watching the birds
especially the hummingbird (Phoebe), the owls, the bald eagle, and the wood duck

we are currently obsessed and watching 2 birds and their eggs hatching any day now...
the wood duck who has a clutch of 18 eggs that are due to hatch NOW
and the Decorah Bald Eagle who has 3 eggs in a 6 ft wide nest high in the sky!!!


I keep this site on during the day and we LOVE watching it!!!
Each cam site will give you an estimated hatch day and we LOVE it!!!
NOT TO MENTION it gives you an up close and personal perspective of the different nesting, incubation, learned traits, inherited traits, and mothering / fathering duties..... it is AWESOME!!!
we learned Pheobe's eggs are the size of tic tacs
I gave each kid 2 tic tacs (she had 2 eggs)  and they were just amazed
her nest is the size of a golf ball... and built in a rose bush... so COOL!!!

this is probably my favorite thing too!!!
I love having this on throughout the day...
a BUNCH of us in my hallway have this on
and we each have our favorites

I keep the sound on... BUT it does break in with commercials... so you might have to mute it!!
when hatch day gets REALLY close you want the sound on b/c you can hear chirps when they are about to pip through...
AWWWWWW
hope you go an try it out!!!

well I think that is IT!!!
go check out my birds...  I am sure you will fall in love too!!!

STAAR DUST... ACHOOO

So I posted a question last night on my FB page
and it asked if your state test has a cute name like mine...
My state test is the STAAR...
I love stars...
so sparkly and shiny and
super cute... BUT I do not feel the same way
about the STAAR!!!
it is STERILE, secretive, and SCARY
the cute name is so misleading....

The winning name goes to Virginia...
Chrissie told me their name was
are you ready for this...
SOLs...
I laughed out loud....
and hubs asked
what I was laughing at
he thought it was pretty funny too
so IT HAS TO BE FUNNY!!!
SOLs
what were they thinking
there are 2 choices here...
1- the peeps in charge of naming the test have a great sense of humor
OR
2- the peeps in charge of naming the test are CLUELESS...
I am thinking
well I hope it is number 1
but am afraid it might be 2
thanks to the more than 40 of you guys that wrote in... it was fun to see all of the names!!!
SOL... still laughing about that one
*************************************squirrel*******************************
I am in serious need of
revisiting my
ONE LITTLE WORD!!!!
(OLW post here)

SERIOUS NEED!!!
my word if you don't remember is
SHINE
I am easily grumbled these days...
and add in a little STAAR dust and well
have I mentioned I am allergic to STAAR DUST?
achooo
my poor little school needs some shining...

I need to shine my attitude
it is NOT good for me, my friends, my family, my school, and ME AGAIN!!!
I need an attitude adjustment FO SHO!!!

have you been living up to your OLW?

*********************************squirrel***************************************

speaking of allergies...
San Antonio is ranked the
#9 worst allergy city

we are taking that STAAR next week...
could it be...
STAAR DUST
maybe?
jus sayn

*****************************squirrel************************************************

I am excited about tonight...
my hubs was super sweet and bought us hockey tickets
I LOVE HOCKEY
something about hockey players gets me ALL HAPPY
and SHHHHH
but I really like the FIGHTS...
I know so caveman of me
but I do
well I turned down my ticket and gave it to my
Daddy

cute elephant, wedding, and a ladybug party






I am joining Ladybug's Linky Party about anchor charts!!!
I am excited to see other upper grade anchor charts...
and
I am so excited to join this because a few weeks ago
I made new anchor charts for writing...
and now I get to SHOW THEM OFF...
TOOT TOOT... that was me tooting my own horn

my AAAWWUUBBISS... make it sound like a train horn...
I use this acronym for subordinating conjunctions that introduce clauses

I drew clowns on the FIRST AAAWWUBBISS chart
to remind my students of this activity...
this isn't really an anchor chart it is the poster I used in the hallway
the kiddos had to write a sentence using
If my life were a circus act,....
some of them were HILARIOUS!!! sorry no pics of that!!!
and I just noticed I missed the last S (so) I guess I was too focused on the cute elephant :)
FANBOYS... another acronym to help remember the subordinating conjunctions...
they combine two sentences together!!!

what we call our silent reading time... a mouthful YES
BUT it gets the point across and covers EVERYTHING needed!!!

I think I showed this one before.. I know I did on my FB page...
these are ways to keep your reader HOOKED when you write!!!
and I have a VERY meticulous student coloring this and see it is still NOT done
and it has been I think 2 weeks...
ignore the piece of paper sitting on it... she uses this so she doesn't smudge!!!
gotta love her... can you believe she does this during any spare minute she might have... even recess
BLESS HER HEART!!!

this is how we solve our word problems
sorry it is so blurry I used my camera phone

this is my giant anchor chart for working your way through a word problem


AHHHHH it is the cute elephant again!!!


 **************************** squirrel moment***********************************

remember I had that wedding on St. Patrick's Day?
it was amazing...
it was so wonderfully rustic
and so unique and it fit the couple PERFECTLY...
sorry I don't have any really good pics...
give me a sec and I'll go steal some off of FB
PLEASE HOLD

the ceremony was done in French and English

 the wedding was in Wimberley, Texas
and the weather was WONDERFUL
 ignore the BIG hand

that is my pic above...
the wedding was so nice
we got homemade jam as our gift... so SWEET
literally HA HA
and the cakes YUMMY YUMMY
so perfect and so LOVELY!!!

this is my pic... we had to go over this water road....
going into the ranch and heading out of the ranch
I was SCARED...


and just in case you wanted to know what I wore to the wedding on St. Patrick's Day
I decided against green and went with a grey retro inspired dress....
OH and my PARTY LASHES (fake lashes)


**************************** squirrel********************************************


Ok I know I went off topic...
but I wouldn't be Farley if I didn't and I knew some of my
SERIOUS BLOGGY BUDS
(no names (teeny))
wanted to know what I wore...

and back to the real reason of this post...
head on over to Ladybug to link up your FAB
anchor charts...
click on this long link...
because I can't get blogger to
LINK THE RIGHT WAY


and for you lower grade peeps
 
her friend Mrs. M is having one too
just for you  little guys
so being the NICE Farley
I have that link too!!!



ok that is it

Eunice, Froggy Dollars, Green, Cray Kray

I was THO THO SAD
yesterday...
Yahoo wasn't letting me upload
it was FRIDAY...
SB is almost over
I didn't get ALL my stuff checked off my SB list
I was having my own personal PITTY PARTY
I was fixing to hang up decorations and send out invites
and it was only like 8:30 in the morning I was still in my PJs
and then my doorbell rang and rang and rang
and knock knock knock
I mean who does this... my dad...maybe
my mom.... yes but I usually get a 5 minute warning before they come over
I snuck a looky lou and it was my MAILMAN
really? bubs was sleeping in late and I really didn't want my silent morning to be over
what was he delivering?
a prize check worth a bajillion dollars
what was the urgency???
I waited and he left and then I opened the door
and saw a small package!!!
Instantly my Pitty Party was packed away
YAY my stamps were here!!!
Perfect timing too!!!
I ripped open the box to see....

OH MY WORD!!!
IN LOVE!!!
I pulled them out and
here is what I got....

Green Owl - WHO did AWESOME???  YOU DID!!! Get this awesomeness signed and returned!!!
Pink Crown... you can read that one right?
Blue Plane... on the plane it says... REDO COMING THROUGH correct, sign, & return by ______
Purple Bird - BEHAVIOR NOTICE please ask me about my day, because I moved my clip

I can't even pick a favorite!!! If you see something you like...
head on over to
and tell Eunice FARLEY sent you...
they are soooooo easy to work with and the stamps are AH-MAZING...
they are bright, detailed, pre inked, and super easy to use... not like those flippy cha chunk ones!!!

I had a plumber come over, picked paint... lots of paint for a project, picked plants for porch and bub to plant, got four new tires, had rings inspected b/c I have to for some reason the jeweler tells ME to so I do.. and I had a few loose stones so that got fixed, then we had an impromptu dinner with my parents, and then I came home and checked my blogroll... and saw the Seuss Cray Cray of 2012 and got SCARED so I panicked
 and removed things that I thought needed to be removed
if I had things that should be removed
(don't want Seuss Cops thinking I had things)
maybe I did and maybe those things are gone now

I open it like this...

inside you find this
another box :)

I hope this answers your questions about what a BIRCHBOX is
and maybe it will show you if you would like it...

like and don't like and SOOOOO
you might get something different than me
I have 2 friends who also get BIRCHBOXes
