Happy, happy, happy!

Is everybody happy? I have not had the best of days, but when I think of Duck Dynasty...I smile! Isn't that ridiculous?

Have you heard about finger lights? I have read a couple of blog posts about the tiny flashlights and decided to give them a try. I found a set of 40 for $7.99 with free shipping on Amazon. My hopes were that the kiddos would:

1. stay focused during reading group
2. keep up
3. not fall out of their chair (Can we say ADHD!)

For the most part I was not dissapointed. My kiddos love using the finger lights during reading groups. Most of them seem to try harder when it's their turn to read aloud.

I have discovered Kid Snippets on YouTube. I use them as brain breaks or transitions sometimes for my kiddos. These short little clips are a huge hit with my class. The "Math Class" snippet is a hoot, but the "Mean School Nurse" clip is my kiddo's favorite.

Enjoy!

120 Chart Freebie

At least 4 days a week, I have my students complete a 120 chart as part of their morning work. I feel that this helps them to be very familiar with the numbers 1-120! As part of Manic Monday at Classroom Freebies, I am sharing some of my 120 charts. Enjoy!

Blogs By State

Diane at Fifth in the Middle had a wonderful idea! She made state buttons that can be displayed on blogs. They are just too cute. This is the one that I have displayed on my sidebar:

I love it!
