These are by far my new favorite project! We have spent the last week talking about animals that migrate and hibernate. But we couldn't forget all of the hardy animals that stick around our snowy, frozen home in Minnesota! This project from Pinterest was the perfect ending for our winter discussions. You can get the project templates <a href="http://www.iheartcraftythings.com/2013/01/aspen-tree-winter-art.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I have been known to blog-stalk the I Heart Crafty Things blog. I just can't get enough! Be sure to leave some love while you are there!</div>

I love the simplicity of the colors, but the vibrance of the red cardinal set against the gray and white background. They are quite different from any other winter projects hanging in our classroom or hallway right now. </div>

I wish I would have taken pictures of us as we completed each step. However, we were too caught up in the excitement of the project to stop for photos. The directions are below. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Directions: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Give the students a half-sheet of white construction paper and a whole sheet of gray construction paper. Have them cut the white paper into 4 strips the long way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Then have them use a black crayon to add black marks up and down each strip to make them look like aspen trees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Glue the strips down onto the gray paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Cut out the birds (printed on red paper) and beaks (printed on orange paper). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. If you want you can explain the difference in colors for the male and female cardinals. My students were given the option to color over one of the birds with a brown crayon to make it look like a female cardinal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Glue down the birds and beaks and add some eyes. We used google eyes to give it dimension. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. We drew legs, but you could also cut them out of paper. Then we set them aside for the glue to dry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. Using Q-tips, have the students add snowflakes to their creations. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. Add birdseed (we could only use sunflower seeds due to allergies) by creating a pool of glue at the bottom of the page. We also put a seed in one of the bird's mouths. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10. Admire your beautiful winter artwork! </div>

We had a special delivery from the North Pole today! Each year I try to make the experience just a little more fun than the last year. I'm not sure why I get so excited other than the fact it is fun to see their expressions when a package comes from the REAL North Pole! </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

So... last night I hid our little elf in the classroom and then went home to wrap up the package containing a letter from Santa and the Elf on the Shelf book. I always wrap the book in separate paper so that it is even more exciting. I found Elf on the Shelf wrapping paper last year for 50% off after Christmas. I'll be able to use it for years to come! After I carefully place everything in the box surrounded by tissue paper I wrapped up the entire box in fun wrapping paper and ribbon/string. Then I add our address and, most importantly, the return address of "THE NORTH POLE". You can't forget that step! I took the above picture before I brought the package to school. Once I arrived I sprayed a little spray adhesive and added translucent glitter to make it look frosty - this is something that the students never miss. They love the sparkles, and so do I! Then it was time for one last step... I placed the box into the freezer and waited. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
When the students went for a bathroom break I quickly ran up to the office and dropped off the freshly chilled box with the secretary. She called the room a few minutes later and announced that we had a delivery. I sent our Star of the Week up to the office to pick it up. The first thing he said when he walked back into the classroom was, "I don't know what it is, but it's really cold!"</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
The kids were so excited!</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After we all had a chance to touch the box and the "frost" on the top, we decided it was time to open it up. There wasn't a noise in the room as I carefully unwrapped the parcel. You could have heard a pin drop! I took out the note from Santa and read it aloud to my kiddos. Then we passed around the book wrapped in the adorable Elf on the Shelf paper. They all commented on how cold the book felt. It must have really come from the North Pole if it was <i>that</i> cold!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
After reading the note and the story we looked for our elf. He was hiding up on top of the cabinets in the wagon with two new friends. He seemed very friendly. We decided that it was time to name our elf. We shared our ideas and after some silly and some nice suggestions we narrowed it down to a smaller list. Our choices were Elfie, Buddy, Cool Man, or Donut. We left a note for him and asked him to choose which name he liked the best. We can't wait to see which name he picked! I think he looks like a "Buddy!"<br />

Halloween is always a busy time. It is my daughter's birthday so we have craziness at home <i>and</i> at insanity happening at school. This year my Kindergarten team came up with a cute, but easy, idea for our costumes. We always love to have a theme and this one was perfect for school! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think we did with these items? </div>

After a busy day opening presents and eating cake a girl needs to take a nap, right? Wrong... we went Trick-or-Treating instead. My little monkey and Wonder Woman snuggled up together in the wagon as we collected treats. Everyone slept really well that night. And even though it poured rain on us halfway through our adventure it was a great day!</div>

We've been studying many fall animals but the owl quickly became our class favorite after we did a little bit of research. We read some fiction stories and then read some non-fiction books to see if the stories that we read earlier contained any facts. Then we created a chart to record our newfound knowledge. </div>

Emily is a 1st grade teacher from Ontario, Canada and has a ton of creative and useful materials in her store. When given the opportunity to pick any item from her store to swap and review I wasn't sure what to choose! There truly were so many amazing products. I chose her Breakfast Bonanza: A Bonanza of High Frequency Word Games because I felt it could be used all year long with my students. I love that it is adaptable for the different levels of kiddos in my classroom.</div>

This product has endless possibilities. Emily created four different games in the set. They all have a breakfast theme (obviously!) and are awesome for word work, sight word review and RTI. Here are some pictures of the different games that are included. Click on the pictures to visit her amazing store!</div>

There are over 150 1st Grade high frequency words. I teach Kindergarten, so I adapted it to work with my students. We used the words we have already learned and I added in some of the harder ones for my more advanced students. I also used the blank game pieces to write in extras of our newest sight words. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the awesome parts of this set is that Emily included black and white versions too! I printed one of the games in color but the rest were printed in black on colored paper. She also included various spellings for Canada and the US. :) </div>

The students took turns using the spatula to flip over the pieces. If they could read the word, they put the food on their plate. If they couldn't read it we put it back and mixed them up.</div>

I love this time of year! The crisp apples, the carved pumpkins, the ability to wear bulky sweaters that hide the enormous amounts of Halloween candy I have indulged in... I just wanted to share a few pictures from my Kindergarten team. We ordered shirts online that said, "Kindergarten Rocks" and dressed up as rock stars. The kids loved it! One little girl kept telling her that I was tickling her neck every time I would walk by her seat. :) </div>

The next exciting tidbit of information is the super-de-duper sale at TpT! Last year the sale was held later in August and I was a little sad because it was so close to school starting here in Minnesota. Teachers in other areas had already started school. This year it is happening earlier! Hooray for TpT listening to their customers and sellers! They are awesome! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So when is this big sale? NEXT WEEK! Yikes - I had better go fill up my cart. Oh wait, it is already pretty full. I better go add more to it! </div>

They aren't done yet, but I'm going to put my bundle on sale and will add to it every month until it is finished. Want to get in on the savings? Click on the image below. Add it to your cart now and enjoy an additional 28% off during the BTS sale! </div>

I guess I should probably change my "currently" listed above. I am now <u>listening</u> to my daughter breathe loudly as she snoozes on my shoulder. I am <u>loving</u> the snuggles. I am <u>thinking</u> that I should have put her on the potty chair before she fell asleep. And I am <u>wanting</u> to take a nap myself! But then nothing that I am <u>needing</u> to do would ever get done around here! </div>

My heart is beating at what feels like a kajillion miles per hour and I have butterflies in my tummy as I post this! So much preparation and hard work has gone into this giveaway and these products.</div>

I won't go on and on for too long- I promise, but I think it is important to tell you how this giveaway came to be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
There are incredible TpT creators out there. There are the BIG ones who we all know, love, adore and go to again and again to fill our classrooms with love and learning. I am so thankful to have resources literally at my fingertips no matter where I am. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have spent a lot of the summer creating and collaborating with other teachers and have come to find some "hidden treasures" in stores with very few followers. So what better way to showcase these incredible teachers and all their work than with one of the most enormous giveaways we have ever seen? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over 100 TpT sellers and Etsy creators have donated these products. There are 7 prize packs and each are grouped by grade level. You can enter to win them all! The more entry tasks you complete the better your chances of winning. Plus you can share this giveaway on your Blog, Facebook or Pinterest once a day for an additional 10 entries each day! So without further ado.....<br />

I have been missing in action lately. Well, not completely. I've been missing from here and the TpT world, but for good reason. I've been dealing with some family "things" and also helping my Mom prepare to sell her house and move. I'm beyond ecstatic! She is moving up here to live by us. Did I mention that I'm excited?! My Mom is my best friend and one of the most amazing women I've ever known. She was a single mom and always made sure that I had what I needed and would often go without herself. Being an only child, her only grandchildren will be my children so she can't wait to move up here and spend time with my little girl. She's going to help us out with part-time childcare and I'm thankful that she will be able to watch my little one grow up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So, now that you know a little bit about my past month, how about we talk about what is currently happening? This is my first time linking up with Farley at Oh Boy Fourth Grade! </div>

What's on my agenda for the near future? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Vegas baby!</b> </span>I have never been to the I Teach K! conference and I was blessed this year by the fact that my district is paying for my conference registration. I'm going with a small group from my school and we're going to make the most of our time there. We are planning on attending classes during the day and hitting the town at night. I'm also looking forward to meeting up with one of my college roommates. We haven't seen each other since she moved to the Las Vegas area 10 years ago!<br />
<br />
I am like a small child as Christmas approaches.<br />
I've started a countdown.<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">Only 5 more days until my flight leaves! </span></b><br />
Will you be in Las Vegas? Any "must do" activities for a first-timer? Hope to see you there! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi all, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to keep this short and sweet tonight. I have a few pictures to share of our recent adventures with The Very Hungry Caterpillar. My kiddos have been working on retelling stories and this book is the perfect one for beginning, middle and end. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some photos to show how we did it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First we used part of the CTP Story Elements Mini Bulletin Board to discuss the parts of a story. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU4ji4wCv7k6Bhqmdd6kwIM13TQOba7sZnChKx1328FCptY7g9h4adT9-TzbSrXfq-rV2bJ1IH8STSOUlsUfIUxFT_-SpGvcpIUKYfk99SVmdahnVqR_EnoZgEycyQlFYJoHpIpFg2kHo/s1600/Picture+9.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU4ji4wCv7k6Bhqmdd6kwIM13TQOba7sZnChKx1328FCptY7g9h4adT9-TzbSrXfq-rV2bJ1IH8STSOUlsUfIUxFT_-SpGvcpIUKYfk99SVmdahnVqR_EnoZgEycyQlFYJoHpIpFg2kHo/s1600/Picture+9.png" height="640" width="520" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They identified the character (caterpillar) and setting (on a leaf, etc) and then we talked about the beginning, middle and end. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSy0_ZXrF2pBFTegwr1OfNiiLbHTGX5FMtqfnKB15kv1ZCwfO6L-BZDm9aoZABTgFCjPGx6ODJ1QUYs5dZ2sXr98uLBO6MqDgbMPKOxnhKXP1WsSG8z8YUqoXaJ1Y0VUdbv5HQ8nqexWo/s1600/elements.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSy0_ZXrF2pBFTegwr1OfNiiLbHTGX5FMtqfnKB15kv1ZCwfO6L-BZDm9aoZABTgFCjPGx6ODJ1QUYs5dZ2sXr98uLBO6MqDgbMPKOxnhKXP1WsSG8z8YUqoXaJ1Y0VUdbv5HQ8nqexWo/s1600/elements.jpg" height="238" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we used the flip books below to draw pictures or write about the sequence of the story. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today we are going to move away from classroom decor and management and onto something that I am very passionate about... BOOKS! I don't know about you, but I have the hardest time finding Kindergarten appropriate books that teach about holidays. I'm not just talking about Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, etc. I'm talking about Patriotic Holidays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day... These are the holidays that are almost impossible to find a simple, yet accurate, book to use in a lesson. At least they were until NOW! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check these out! </div>

As much as I loved these two books, my favorite book from the set is the book about Patriotic Holidays. It gives a brief description of each holiday and has vivid pictures depicting the reason behind the holiday. The book covers Labor Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, and Veteran's Day. Here's a quick peek inside! </div>

In our classroom birthdays are kind of a big deal. I was a summer birthday and never got to celebrate at school. Most of the time I would just get a small acknowledgment on the last day of school before summer break. I remember being sad that almost all of my other friends got to celebrate at school and bring in treats, etc. So, when I became a teacher I decided that I wouldn't let that happen to my students! We celebrate half-birthdays during the winter months so that they can have a special day to call their own.<br />
<br />
In the morning when the students arrive they find birthday confetti at their spot. It's a fun way for them to start their day! At group time we sing Dr. Jean's birthday song and the children get a birthday crown, pencil, stickers and a certificate that smells like birthday cake.<br />
<br />
I had a birthday bulletin board before, but it wasn't very exciting. As soon as I put this one up all of the students noticed! I like that some of the pieces focus on the current month instead of just a year long bulletin board.<br />
<br />
Each month I change out the label and little flags to reflect the current month's birthdays. I put these on the big cupcake. Then on each child's birthday we move their flag to the top of the birthday cake. They get such a kick out of seeing their name at the top! :) And then to tie it all together I use the CTP Polka Dot Party Border.<br />

The pockets measure 6 1/2 x 9 inches. They are awesome for storing miscellaneous items around the room. I use them to store bulletin board items that need frequent changing. Inside of this pocket I am storing the months and other pieces for our birthday board. I do the same for other classroom displays. They are so amazingly handy. One helpful hint - I laminate them and then slice along the top opening. This makes it even more sturdy and I don't have to worry about the edges tearing as I take items out each day. </div>

At first I wasn't sure what I would do with them, but now that we've been using them in class I think of new ideas all of the time. We've decorated bulletin boards with the cut-outs and turned them into cards for Valentine's Day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most recently we used them to help us do simple addition and subtraction problems. The kids really loved seeing something that they made used in front of the whole class! </div>

I am always looking for new ways for my students to practice writing. I thought these would be something different enough that it would keep their attention, yet it would be easy to prep. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will see on the picture below that my students use these for sight word practice. They read the word at the top and write the word multiple times below the sight word. The key to making this work is to write the words you want to use on the cards before you laminate them. If you don't write the words beforehand it may wipe off when students use the dry erase markers. </div>

If you've ever seen my classroom you know that I am addicted to their products. So, when I was given the opportunity to try out some of their products and host a giveaway I thought I had died and gone to heaven! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the next week I am going to share some of my favorite CTP products with you and you'll even have the chance to win them for yourself! CTP is letting me give away not one, but TWO sets of every item I feature this week. What do you think? Should we get started? Let's go! </div>

When I saw them in the catalog I just HAD to have them. Not only are they fun additions to papers and worksheets, they make awesome incentives for reaching goals! My kiddos earned them after they were able to read a story to me independently. They had to work hard, but they were so incredibly proud of themselves when they finally did it. Kids will do <u>anything</u> for a sticker! Here are some pictures from when they reached their goals. :) </div>

Before we get to the giveaway I have to share something awesome with you. This afternoon I received a call from the office telling me that there was a delivery for me.

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I love the month of February. There are so many exciting things happening this month! </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
- "I Love to Read" month</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
- The Olympics</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
- Valentine's Day</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
- President's Day</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
- Black History Month</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
- Dental Health Month</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
- Groundhog Day</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
- the list goes on... </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
At our school we also have conferences and 2 lyceums left to squeeze into the month. Whew! I wish that there was a way to put a few more days into February! </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I have created a packet of materials that require NO PREP to use. Well, I guess you do need to print them off, but does that count? </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I'm planning on making one for each month. If there is a specific skill that you would like to see, let me know and I'll try to include it next month. These were just some of the basic skills that my kiddos need to review. You can check out the packet by clicking on the pictures below: </div>

All of my Valentine's Day/February products will be on sale through the end of the week! </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
And now, onto the FREEBIE! </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Ever wonder what to do with all of your extra or broken crayons from your classroom? Well, let me tell you about what I started doing last year. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Most people have heard about melting down broken crayons to make larger crayons, but why not turn them into a gift? My kinders last year loved them and I thought I would do it again this year. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Unfortunately, I didn't think about taking pictures until AFTER I had done most of the crayons. So, the few pics that I took on my phone will need to do. :) </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Materials Needed:</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Crayons - Craft Knife - Oven - Muffin Tin or Candy Mold - Snack Size Ziploc Baggies</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Easy-Peasy-Valentines-Day-Student-Gift-FREEBIE-1106779" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs9poM7XP-mvraI9RXw85kkSs79A8c54iwJvdOEDb-5tfafxJquS7eeUWvDsb0aQQ5RcB73iFClmkEGVj3TvNOWaN2hzIUwSDZ8Mw4GjMF6XTr_zFrpKIZ0hyphenhyphen35hhYHhge-I_n_JEhYWA/s1600/crayons3.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I found this candy mold in the baking section at Walmart. Isn't it adorable?</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<u>Step 1</u>: Gather all of your crayons and a craft knife. Simply slice lengthwise down the crayon and peel the paper off. Newer crayons work the best as they paper peels off easier. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<u>Step 2.</u> Preheat your oven to 250 degrees</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<u>Step 3.</u> If you are using new crayons, you'll need to break them into smaller pieces. Place them into the mold/muffin tin until it is pretty much full. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Easy-Peasy-Valentines-Day-Student-Gift-FREEBIE-1106779" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMkSiA6VpIswLd5tZJ3JQ1lgABNRGUv3a0lvou_VE17MLwcofOpVXBqK0XtxHaZeH9mlk1P6sGwysV5-LL3rIaXr_Xs-XTZkF6ORv6MAfygOemSnxAESZZ60zC-EGplo17lHPYHoTMPD4/s1600/crayons1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put similar colors together so the picture below shows blues and purples. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also made other ones with yellows/oranges, shades of green, and reds/pinks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Easy-Peasy-Valentines-Day-Student-Gift-FREEBIE-1106779" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2-DcigmmalNc9aCWfDROuZ5WFFzZL5XHwRcjjG_25_l1cK23vHr3TvWXV5pVB0CkHfiu0XnynwaDraPh1118eq7_-YUYhDOBOc64t0VksFN3rz8cbA1XqN1ouXifSvY0Y55iSrrkkm5c/s1600/crayons2.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Step 4:</u> Place the crayons in the oven for about 10 minutes. You will need to check on them often until you figure out how long it will take each batch to melt. I checked at 9 minutes and could still see the shape of the crayons and came back 2 minutes later and they were completely melted. I'm not sure what happens if you "overcook" them, but it might not be so pretty! :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Step 5:</u> Let them cool. I tried to take them out of the mold after 20 minutes and broke off a leg from one of the little people. I waited another 20 minutes and they popped right out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Step 6:</u> Continue with other colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Step 7:</u> Put them into baggies and attach the gift tag. I simply printed these out, cut them out and stapled them over the opening on the baggie. I've left space on the gift tag for you to write your name. Sorry I don't have the ability to make it editable. :( </div>

Want to make these for yourself? Click on any of the pictures above to get the gift tag. I've created one that says "You color MY world!" and another that says "You color OUR world!"in case you are giving the gift from more than one person. My para and I usually give gifts together. We'll be adding these crayons to a few other little items for our kiddos. What do you like to do for Valentine's Day?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
OK, I have to be honest here. For the past year or so I have turned up my nose to some of the blog posts about online assessment programs. I kept thinking that they were just being paid to give a positive review. Then I started doing my research and I was amazed by what I found.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over winter break I was looking for a way to make my assessments do more. I wanted them to do more for my students, my families and more for <b>me</b>! I needed something to help guide my instruction. Everything that I found led me to ESGI.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBYSCwBf1IJPxO6scYlfdk5tJfgoVsw3Fqyl4TezeIXq2Xdxc18o7HtErltz5oxxp8iqb6LHKlXCNLe84AHLZLBVM2sdZEzwHcJeYeMuV2LAXnmPGEUcT-lfPpg6hxJq3TS61XYBWxPU0/s1600/ESGI+logo.png" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ESGI (Educational Software for Guiding Instruction) is an online assessment tool that not only assesses the students on what they know, it also analyzes the data and creates reports for parents, teachers, interventionists, etc. I signed up for the free 60 day trial and haven't looked back since!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The time saved using this assessment tool is worth every penny! I can easily assess my entire class in under 20 minutes. I simply choose an area to assess and call them over one at a time. They know our routine now. They stand right next to my computer and I start the test. The items are displayed on the screen. I simply press "Y" if they know the item/concept or "N" if they don't. The data is instantly recorded and the results are displayed at the end of the test. The kids absolutely love to see the pie chart at the end. They actually ask when they can do it again. I can't help but smile knowing that they are holding themselves accountable for their learning, but they don't even realize it! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is an example of what the results look like after I have tested a student. The gray pie charts show areas that I haven't assessed yet with this student. I can click on the "Details" tab and see what items they do/don't know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I have completed the assessment there are a number of options. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can send home parent letters, letting them know what skills their child still needs to work on. I can even print off flash cards for them to take home. It really is THAT easy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ESGI offers a variety of pre-made tests that you can use, or you can create your own. I created one to assess the sight words in our reading series in less than 5 minutes. If I want to, I can opt to share the test with others, or I can make it a private test only available on my account. The possibilities are endless!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One other feature that I have found to be extremely beneficial is the bar graph option. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0mEjqJGL4VpHFyeKVozTYhMmB5tHf0pBeMswbFrvdzacePW8GLkvTckfZphhKxsXKBADRQwwi6t-14BjgXwGCVQABYWssZ1ggX5yAiKLPfUo1M5PcUIW8LW2_WoiaclgXWcxBEl7th9Q/s1600/Picture+8.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0mEjqJGL4VpHFyeKVozTYhMmB5tHf0pBeMswbFrvdzacePW8GLkvTckfZphhKxsXKBADRQwwi6t-14BjgXwGCVQABYWssZ1ggX5yAiKLPfUo1M5PcUIW8LW2_WoiaclgXWcxBEl7th9Q/s1600/Picture+8.png" height="278" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can choose any area of assessment and bring it up on the screen. I can click on the green area to show which students have already mastered the skill. I can also click on the gray area and it will tell me which students still need practice. There are many ways to utilize this feature. I can print out the names of students to work with in a small group. I can give the list to a parent volunteer or an interventionist and know that they are working on specific skills. When I wanted this done before, I would have to dig through papers to find the data I needed. Now, one click does it all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best part of ESGI is that I can access it from anywhere. I can see my data at home. I can test students on my computer. I can use an iPad or tablet for assessments. I can share the information with co-workers. I can even have more than one person logged into my account at one time. If I have an interventionist working on reading skill assessments and I'm working on math assessments, we can both be using it at the same time. I absolutely love it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh... I guess that isn't the best part. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The best part is that if you try it out and like it you can get a reduced rate for $159/year. If you want to receive the discount, you will need to follow the link below.</b></div>

<br />
Check it out for yourself! I shared the program with my co-workers, principal and assessment coordinator. All of the Kindergarten teachers are going to be using the program next year! It has made my life so much easier and I can't wait for you to try it!<br />

Just a note... if you sign up now, your subscription will last for a full year, not just until the end of the school year. :)<br />

Merry Christmas to all of my followers - new and old! I have had an amazing two days with my family. This is the first time in 5 years that my Mom's side of the family was able to get together. We hosted at our house and even though it was a little stressful, it was all worth it. The food was delicious and the time with family was amazing. A good time was had by all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning was so much fun. Our daughter is 2 and she really seemed to understand Christmas this year. She was excited that Santa came to visit and she couldn't wait to get into her presents. We decided to do something that I had found on Pinterest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You give 4 main gifts. Something you want. Something you need. Something you wear. Something you read. I often feel that Christmas is too commercialized and this brings us back down to Earth! :) Of course, she still receives gifts from Santa and from other family members, but this is going to be a new tradition for us. Here are some before and after pictures.<br />

I always tell myself that when I have a day off of school I am going to relax and do nothing. Why doesn't this happen? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh that's right... I'm a wife, mother and teacher. What was I thinking? We don't get days off! </div>

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house (on Thanksgiving and again today) and even though I loved every moment, I am exhausted! My mom has been here since Wednesday afternoon and I couldn't have survived without her. My little girl just turned two and it was great to have my mom here to keep her entertained! Here's a picture of my baby girl on her birthday. She had an Elmo cake, but we gave her a cupcake for her to blow out the candles. I've always had a thing with people blowing on food that we are going to eat! ;)</div>

On Friday my Mom and I went shopping. My baby girl got to experience her first Black Friday! We didn't go out until after 10am because we thought the lines would be shorter. We were wrong. The checkout line at Kohl's wrapped more than half-way around the store. It took about 45 minutes to wait to check out, but it was worth it. The combined total for our purchases was $212, but we saved $428. I have most of my shopping done and only a few things left to order online. Even though it was a long wait in line, the savings were more than worth it and the fact that I now have $60 Kohl's Cash to use makes it even better. Did you score any great Black Friday deals? </div>

Wait a minute... what's this? A blog post? I know, it has been a long time! I should be in bed, but I just HAD to share a few pictures of a book that we made in class.<br />
<br />
My students absolutely adore Pete the Cat. My kinders all want to read the Pete the Cat books when we have quiet reading time.<br />

This summer I saw the coolest idea on Pinterest where a teacher took pictures of the kids shoes on the first day of school and made a school shoe book for their classroom library. I really wanted to do this, so I took pictures on the second day of school and then I assembled them into this adorable book!<br />

This is what the inside looks like. Each page has a 4x6 laminated picture of the child's shoes taped onto the center of the page. I used clear packing tape and only taped along the top edge. </div>

The children look at the shoes and guess who they belong to. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then they can lift up the flap and see a picture of the person wearing their shoes. I printed the photos of the students to be just under 4 inches tall. It amazed me that some of the students knew right away who every pair of shoes belonged to. </div>

I did my best to take pictures of the book, but the reflection from the lights and flash were terrible. Hopefully you can see the basics of what the book is about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now that I have told you all about the book, I want to share part of it with you. I'm offering a freebie of the cover and inside pages to be turned into a book for your classroom! </div>

Is it really possible that it has been 3 weeks since my last post? Wow, you would think that it was back to school or something?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided that I should probably upload the pictures that I took of my classroom. I love to see everyone else's classrooms so I thought I would share mine too! The pictures were taken the day before school started. Everything was ready to go and it is probably the cleanest my room will be all year! :) </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This picture is taken from my guided reading table. I love that I can see the whole classroom from my table which makes classroom management much easier! :) I like to have specific areas in my classroom for learning centers, but I also want the room to feel open. I think I've managed to accomplish both! </div>

Not the greatest photo, but this is part of the library. I covered the cabinet on the left with black contact paper. I'm going to add some signs and use it to store leveled readers for my students to use when they are at the library center. I think I will try to cover the big book stand on the right as well since the dry erase board is all gouged up and nasty from something a previous teacher put on it. Not sure what it was, but it does NOT come off! </div>

This is the back of the classroom. The student computers, sink and science center are housed back here. Now that I look at the photo I realize that i absolutely must cover the nasty orange cupboards with my black contact paper! They definitely do not match my theme! :) </div>

One of my favorite parts of my classroom. I have 3 closets that have always been used for my word wall. A bunch of us decided to cover them this summer so that we didn't have to look at the dingy closet doors anymore. It really made a difference. I will show pictures of the makeover another day. The classroom job chart and clip chart are also on the closet doors. </div>

This is looking towards the door. The large cart on the left has hooks on the other side for my students to hang up their coats and backpacks. There aren't enough hooks on the wall behind the cart so unfortunately this is the only way to have a space for everyone. It is the only spot that I can't see from my table, but I'm never sitting down while the students are back there anyway. :)</div>

The overhead is under the table and we wheel it out when we use it for stations. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also see my "Art Cart" behind the green pocket chart. The students can wheel this over to the table and use it during free choice time. It is hiding back there until we learn how to use it correctly! </div>

Well, it's time for me to get something done around the house! It's my birthday today so I'm going to do my annual back to school clothes shopping too. Hooray for sweet discounts at Kohl's! :) </div>

I hope you have a wonderful day and happy TPT shopping! I'd love to hear what is on your wishlist! </div>
