Pirates, Penguins, and Pugs: Photos from My Week

I thought I would do a quick post to share some of the cute things I have been doing this week with my class!  Click on the photos to check out the packets.  Click here to check out my lesson plans for this week.

 We actually made Abby‘s Pirate Mark last week.  I saved him and hung him up with the finished Pirate Art and Math Centers from this week.

 This is a new center I just added to my pirate packet.  I also added essential questions.  If you have already purchased the packet, please re-download for the updates!

My students loved DeeDee‘s center.  The kids who were not at the center were counting how many center rotations until they got to go.  It is amazing what a little timer, a race against yourself, and some cute graphics will do to motivate them!   
Sarah is so cute and talented.  She made the pug clip art herself! You also must check out her latest penguin freebie.  She introduced me to the book Pink! years ago and created this adorable craft to go with it. 

Almost Friday!!! TGIF

    Erica,
    Don't you wish they would give us a PD day on how to make our own clip art!
    Those precious pugs are so cute! I like your center idea, and the photo really helps!
    I would also love a PD trip to spend the day seeing you in action with the kiddos! Thanks for sharing your week with us!

Teacher truth: class sizes matter to both students Teacher truth: class sizes matter to both students and teachers. 

It is a Sunday night and I am at home prepping for the week.  As a 25 year veteran teacher, I should have everything done.  I should be able to get everything done at school but I can’t.  Maxed out classes sizes mean that I can get much less prepping done during my preps. 

If you are a tired and frustrated teacher of a maxed out class.  I hear you and am right there with you.
