February Smartboard Math Review

Sooo, I am home with the flu, pneumonia, and beginning of mono.  UGH!  Yesterday was a tough day, but I am feeling a little better today.  I sit in my recliner with my head braced against the back so when I cough it doesn't hurt so much AND my laptop in my lap.  I am thankful for blogs and Pintrest because that is about all I can do.....surf the Internet or sleep.

I am super excited about a Smartboard File I created that reviews the math skills for our AIMS testing.  It took awhile to create, but I know the kids will love it.

If you would like to purchase this Smartboard File, go to 

Teachers Pay Teachers Lori Hovey's Store

My Cute Graphics

I wanted to give an update to anyone who might have purchased items from my Teachers Pay Teachers Store during the fundraiser for Sandy Hook Elementary.  I was so honored to be a part of this group who raised $2,155 for the teachers from Sandy Hook Elementary.  My contribution was hardly worth mentioning, but it makes me proud to be a part of a cohort who cares about each other.

Little Miss Glamour Goes to Kindergarten organized the fundraiser and I appreciate that she made this happen!!!

COLORFUL CRAZY CLOWNS

Elf on the Shelf

This is my first year doing Elf on the Shelf.  My kids are really enjoying it.

 She was reading a book, just his size, in the reading corner.

 She loves playing on the computer!

She was hiding in our pencil box cubbies.

 She was calling Santa on our reading phones.

 She was checking out the 12" of snow we got over the weekend.  She was anxiously awaiting for the kids arrive 2 hours late on Monday!  Yahoo!!!

She is sitting on the top of the easel by Mr. Reindeer.

 The kids were a little crazy the previous day so Elf was hiding behind the tree.  She was scared to come out from behind the tree.  (P.S.  It worked!  The kids were awesome that day!)

Hanging from the mirror in the housekeeping area!

Hanging out on the poor overhead projector that rarely gets used.

She could see everywhere in my classroom from the top of my SmartBoard.
