I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for the very first Five for Friday of 2015!
Is Christmas break really almost over? Although the first part of the break was total insanity with so many get togethers and stops to make, the last part has been fantastically lazy. My sweet girl was sick with the sinus junk that she gets every year at this time, so we hunkered down and did nothing. We did venture out on New Year's Day to get Happy Meals through the drive thru (mostly because Momma needed a tea), and yesterday, I had to get a gallon of milk, but other than that, this week has been a PJ, playing, and movies kind of week. I'm not ready for it to end.
Along the lines of Christmas, I have to share our beautiful Christmas card with you. It's my favorite yet!
When we go back to school Monday, we will be full-on in assessment mode. The end of the second grading period falls the second week back to school, so I will be pulling kiddos aside to assess them one-on-one. If you haven't checked out ESGI, you really should.
Before ESGI, my days would be spent putting kids in centers for days on end, or *gasp* putting in a movie for them to watch. Now that I have ESGI to use, I literally save hours of instructional time. You can check it out by clicking the link in my side bar!
Yesterday, I got this notification...
What, What?!?! Back in the fall, I created a project for four stability balls to use for student seating. Let me tell you, they work wonders for kids who need to get their wiggles out. It was funded within the day.
Only problem... When you are 5, you really just want to sit on the bright, shiny, orange ball. Only having four created an issue among my kiddos who didn't necessarily need to get the wiggles out. So, I created another project to complete my class set of stability balls.
Yesterday, that project was funded! My kiddos will be thrilled.
Have you signed up for the French Lick Blogger Meet-Up yet? If not, you can here.
Last year's meet-up was amazing. This year will be even better!
The resort is absolutely beautiful, so whether you are coming for the day or planning on relaxing there for the weekend, it will be worth it!
I mentioned in my Currently blog post that I would be presenting at ISTE in Philadelphia this summer. I am so very excited for this adventure!
ISTE is the international technology conference for educators. Thousands upon thousands of people will flock to Philly in June/July to learn, collaborate, and network with the best of the best. I am still in shock that they chose me to be a presenter.
My presentation will be a poster-style presentation where five of my students and I will share what PBL looks like in a kindergarten classroom.
So, not only will I be sharing my passion, I will be giving five of my students the opportunity to share at the international level. My mind is blown!
I pray that this opportunity opens doors for 2015.
Be sure to check back on Sunday for a Peek at Our Week! :)
Love your Christmas card! How exciting to be presenting at ISTE, congrats. Enjoy the rest of your vaca in PJ's with your kiddos.

Hi Brittany, I use stability balls, too. I have five in the classroom and rotate them from table to table each day. So kids get at least fifteen minutes each day, and then a longer time each week. It's worked out pretty well. I hope you'll post about how having a whole classroom set works out. Also, I just realized that French Lick is six hours away– somewhat possible in terms of travel. Is there a link where I can find out dates and what's on the agenda? Thanks, Kathleen Kidpeople Classroom
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas card is so adorable, and I just realized your husband's name is Eric and so is mine. Britt+Eric make a great combination. :) :)

ReplyDeleteWe, as parents, must go visit Phoenix kindergarten and get to know the teachers. They're happy to have us in the classroom, observing and participating in some of the activities.

ReplyDeleteHello every body....
My name is Conrad Eve, my family and i live together live in USA. It was after seven years i got to discover that my Husband was unfaithful to me. I didn't know what was going on at first but as he got deep in the affair with his new lover, i felt that our marriage was on the rocks. I notice that he no longer light up when i touch him or kiss him in his neck and his chest cos he really liked it when i did that, he also usually get naked in front of me but when he started seeing that woman he stopped it. I remember asking him if i have done anything that makes him feel irritated when i am around him then he gives silly excuses that he has been feeling stressed up and that he need space for a while. I know when you are been asked for space its usually because there is something fishy going on. I hired a private investigator to help find out what was going on. And in a week time he brought me prove that my Husband that i have lived with for seven straight year is cheating on me with his high school lover. I had picture of him walking out a of a restaurant with her and many other photo of them kissing in public like he will never be caught by someone that knows he is my Husband. I asked myself, even when we had a daughter together he could do this to me. That same night i showed him the pictures that i got from my private investigator. He didn't look at it before saying, that he is seeing someone and he know that i just found out about it. Then he said that he is in love with her. At that moment, i didn't know if to kill myself or to kill him but the button line is that if i was going to kill anyone it was going to be me because i was so much in love with him to even think of thinking to hurt him. As time goes on he asked for a divorce and got it and i got custody of our daughter and i weep everyday seeing my daughter with out being around her daddy. I just couldn't get my mind off my Husband and all i could think about was getting him back and live as every family should. For a year i tried all i could to get him back with the help of my seven year old daughter. Even at that all effect was in vain, i used the help of his friend but turned out all bad. I know most people don't believe in spell casting but believe me this was my last option and the result i most say was impressive. And i know it difficult to believe but A SPELL CASTER Dr dodo really made my life much better because he gave me my family back. He didn't ask me to pay for what he did for me all i was to do, was to provide the materials for the spell and i should believe that he had the power to help me. Like he said, he was going to do something that will make him reset his love and affection for me just as it has always been. My Husband told me he woke up and realized that he should have never left me that i am all he needs.To make thing clear, his life with his high school lover was great before Dr dodo cast the spell, they had no disagreement on anything. My Husband said it himself that why he broke up with her is something he can not explain just that he woke up on the same bed with her after a very romantic night saying he is breaking up with her for no reason at all. Only Dr dodo can do such a thing, contact him to solve your problem with his email dodospelltemple7@gmail.com
HELLO everyone Have you been going through a lot in your relationship lately as a result of sudden change in your spouse attitude towards you ? If "YES",the end has come to that problem that keeps you awake when you are suppose to be asleep. When people you know to be nice and caring suddenly begins to act in a cruel manner there is need to ask questions such as, what exactly is wrong with my spouse ? Is this problem spiritual ? These and many questions that would cross ones mind at some point. I was in that kind of a confused state at some point in my relationship that I felt the weight of the world was resting on my shoulder, I was abandoned by my hubby when our son was 3 weeks. He left us for no reason. Though I wasn't too sure of what exactly would make him leave us I felt it was something extra ordinary(spiritual) that must have taken place in his memory. I was asked to contact this address to get help,(jumbaherbalis@yahoo.com), as soon as I did all my problem was sorted out. I can categorically state here that the kind gesture of (jumbaherbalis@yahoo.com) . has helped me restore my family. Thanks to Dr JUMBA.
