For this week's Five for Friday I'm doing a #fbf to a Five for Friday I did 2 years ago! Something that has become widely known in the teacher community is the <a href="http://mindsetonline.com/" target="_blank">growth vs. fixed mindset</a>. I introduced this concept to my GT students back in 2013. To say they weren't so excited about embracing this new way of thinking was an understatement. I was so proud of how open they were to change the way they were thinking. Read below to hear about it!</div>

I apologize for my blogging absence! But Five for Friday is such a great way to let you in on what's been going on!</div>

Since my title 1 position doesn't start until October, I have taken on a GT (gifted and talented) position until then and I am LOVING it! Hanging with small groups all week and getting to work across the grade levels! I haven't taught the older kids in a few years, but oh my goodness! I have missed them! I really do love the older ones!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

#1 Here's a look in my new classroom! I had to decorate an entire class in 1 week! The room was bare! And apparently I had enough border to decorate an entire classroom without having to buy any. Can you say border hoarder?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my favorite part of the entire room! And the kids LOVED seeing their names this week as they entered the classroom for the first time. I loved how they reacted when they walked in. They said the room was so fun and inviting! From the mouth of babes.</div>

#2 I work with grades 1-5 and pull each of my grade levels once a week and this week was the 1st week for them to be pulled. We read the book "My Fantastic Elastic Brain". Such a fun book that talks about how the brain works and that it's ok to make mistakes because it's training your brain!</div>

#3 We spent time talking about how this class would be a place to challenge ourselves. If we can't do something, we just can't do it "yet". Yet is a big word in our GT program! We want to have a growth mindset, not a fixed mindset! I introduced the word mindset and we talked about the M standing for motivation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQx81nDmL4vt_7UOsAil5OFXR6GEx461LO7s3WtBfou7AmGJkYd2RTbhMXr3TbXLRxY66pUYhUqqtQOO7VuJ5myGGJjq05cwXRMUMiaMSpVzPz5Tr36PAvLN4FKMcXL2ybYU_Q26xk_Ds/s1600/photo+15.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQx81nDmL4vt_7UOsAil5OFXR6GEx461LO7s3WtBfou7AmGJkYd2RTbhMXr3TbXLRxY66pUYhUqqtQOO7VuJ5myGGJjq05cwXRMUMiaMSpVzPz5Tr36PAvLN4FKMcXL2ybYU_Q26xk_Ds/s640/photo+15.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then in the upper grades the students had to make up a skit showing what motivation was. The skits were hilarious! Then they had to come up with a symbol for motivation. Here are a few.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then I took all of their symbols and displayed them on our mindset board. We will make our way through the whole word throughout the year.</div>

I don't know about you, but with the last few weeks of school, I want something fun, interactive, and low prep to keep my students engaged! So a few years ago I put together a fun camping unit that covers summer safety!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My students love this unit EVERY year! They get to bring in sleeping bags, we have a real live tent in our classroom, and we get to make s'mores!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think it can get any better!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMjVa1XCDm3wkioapBi2KjvucTe9R7Rfb86_xutRj1cfbyZFjVVgqAz82rb49R5dMCCG8CX5XX5G7BOQ9yH0BeMaHZKO39gv1fMKiwlAMJiKd87gd3dUpPOApDxOONziiSpV283Jrqxko/s1600/Slide1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMjVa1XCDm3wkioapBi2KjvucTe9R7Rfb86_xutRj1cfbyZFjVVgqAz82rb49R5dMCCG8CX5XX5G7BOQ9yH0BeMaHZKO39gv1fMKiwlAMJiKd87gd3dUpPOApDxOONziiSpV283Jrqxko/s640/Slide1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started off the week brainstorming what we know about camping and then we come up with camp names for ourselves. The name has to describe something about themselves or something they enjoy doing. The names they come up with are so funny. One year, one of my lovies named herself "toothless wonder" HA!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of the things we learn about during camp week. Sun Safety, Swim Safety, Bike Safety, Campfire Safety. We also do hiking safety, but I forgot to take a picture of that. Opps!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We brainstorm ways we could get hurt during the summer and what we would need to make sure we could take care of any boo boos. We learned about first aid and made our own first aid kits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And let me tell you!!! These babes are making connections left and right! They have so much to connect to in this unit! That's part of why they are so engaged!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And the best part of the week is writing our "how to make s'mores". They work so hard on these books and can't wait to eat their s'mores. For one of the steps, one of my sweeties asked if in their book should they write "next, roast the marshmallow over the fire" or "next, put the s'more in the microwave". Since that's how we made ours :) Haha. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of the other 1st grade classes actually put their entire s'more in aluminum foil and put it outside in the sun for the day. It actually worked! Try it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Over 500 sellers have already created stores in the Educents Marketplace, so you are sure to find some money-saving deals anytime you need them!</span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">To LAUNCH the site, several of the sellers are joining in to bring you a sneak peek at a FREE product offered in their new sale, as well as hosting a giveaway for $50 worth of Edubucks (money to spend on the site). You can buy a LOT of educational materials with that kind of money! And, there are several groups of bloggers who are joining the LAUNCH, which means multiple ways to enter.</span><br />

First off I'll talk about what "I Love". I seriously can't get enough of these markers. Is it the smell? Is it the amazing, beautiful colors? I don't know, but they are my favorite. These could honestly go under "They Love" too because my student's LOVE when I let them smell the markers. I have caught them a few times with their noses against the anchor charts we make :)</div>

Next up is something "they love". My students love using their "writer's eyes". I have a class set of 3D glasses with the lenses popped out. I teach my students what it means to look at their writing with "writer's eyes" at the beginning of the year and they get to use their glasses during independent writing time. It really helps them stay focused to!</div>

Hello friends! So glad you have stopped by in the organization blog hop hosted by <a href="http://primarypowers.blogspot.com/2015/01/organization-blog-hop_28.html" target="_blank">Primary Powers</a>!<br />

For me, organization comes naturally. Clutter drives me crazy and my classroom is always put together neatly! I will say that I am the envy of most of the teachers in my hallway :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today I want to share with you how I keep my student's information and parent communication organized.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty much everything in my classroom is organized in a binder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUjaNGTM6haBY3GIrWvh1E2MPxIndR18JI-Q3wBTEdWSbqJ8eVxMWl3OX8nY00O3y7vSo0H9lOtF-Dc3I4qYi5VH48r-c58XWXj4zLtC-7QD2tsxVdh2wCusPT19owr7B0jyald6Z0OXk/s1600/Slide01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUjaNGTM6haBY3GIrWvh1E2MPxIndR18JI-Q3wBTEdWSbqJ8eVxMWl3OX8nY00O3y7vSo0H9lOtF-Dc3I4qYi5VH48r-c58XWXj4zLtC-7QD2tsxVdh2wCusPT19owr7B0jyald6Z0OXk/s1600/Slide01.png" height="492" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See, I wasn't joking!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is actually my favorite binder because it acts as TWO binders! One cover on each side of the binder. Did I trick ya?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-7WzpB9zYct36tw3WqWfe7latAA2ZIgn7tHp5j0-jAJI6oMp_hGQ6daU-M0-7AqTAP8DkgqqVendyTt2kAaVzCUKKW88_cx0VtIKhaH4G9E-q7N3weLB4kdWKk8LHppdj6IQjx2qHV6o/s1600/Slide12.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-7WzpB9zYct36tw3WqWfe7latAA2ZIgn7tHp5j0-jAJI6oMp_hGQ6daU-M0-7AqTAP8DkgqqVendyTt2kAaVzCUKKW88_cx0VtIKhaH4G9E-q7N3weLB4kdWKk8LHppdj6IQjx2qHV6o/s1600/Slide12.png" height="494" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what it looks like on the inside. I always like to have their t-shirt sizes at the front of the binder because we are always needing it. Either for field day shirts, grade level shirts, and more! And it can serve as a class list as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg2_AEwp4gkz4x7FFMj8iD-abeUGrvUOdzo9x6KRY4wME5nQs2NNSfrpsEw4GuNj95qNebRSUpf76i3t2XMwuVHEBj_bvLTxUuDmz2q9r8C5GRvww2mfRQrm9idCnrwg7yHojMo07V9KM/s1600/Slide13.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg2_AEwp4gkz4x7FFMj8iD-abeUGrvUOdzo9x6KRY4wME5nQs2NNSfrpsEw4GuNj95qNebRSUpf76i3t2XMwuVHEBj_bvLTxUuDmz2q9r8C5GRvww2mfRQrm9idCnrwg7yHojMo07V9KM/s1600/Slide13.png" height="494" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that page, I have all of my students numbers in a colored tab. This way I can use the binder year after year and not have to replace the tabs with different names each year.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXjtlcli-FB_t5rh3zSG_seAo2t2FcSX-ygij-Vm3279z4nzRpw3KbD1dvFYG1leRfGT8VSewmRm6btzYr9PZVmfDEYEAVCjLMZfN1QiOURJsPekO0h5ODa9dyQDm-dks-zP8A9xJxjP4/s1600/Slide14.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXjtlcli-FB_t5rh3zSG_seAo2t2FcSX-ygij-Vm3279z4nzRpw3KbD1dvFYG1leRfGT8VSewmRm6btzYr9PZVmfDEYEAVCjLMZfN1QiOURJsPekO0h5ODa9dyQDm-dks-zP8A9xJxjP4/s1600/Slide14.png" height="492" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then behind each tab you will first find my student information sheet that I have the parents fill out at Meet the Teacher night the Thursday before school starts. I love reading over these at the beginning of the year so that I can get to know my students a little more. My favorite part is at the bottom it asks the parents to write an endearing story about their child on the back. It's a blast reading through them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that I put notebook paper for me to document conversations that I have with parents that need to be documented. THIS, my friends, is GOLD! When you need the documentation, it's right there! Also, don't wait to write it down. Write it as soon as the conversation is over if it's in person and if it's on the phone, write as you talk!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can also use this page for parent communication. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihx4fHjWsJ-rS_rLXGSCJl1rsXB1X_BadjJW6bO7vSLYn-taNvsHXXVBxFwUQyANE8xowupNtIl2r8eLrHa4RiPPUkcscQNRKjUiVMOgbbF1ld4wXcLquI4ic4GYWJsRTB3b__5d15sJc/s1600/Slide09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihx4fHjWsJ-rS_rLXGSCJl1rsXB1X_BadjJW6bO7vSLYn-taNvsHXXVBxFwUQyANE8xowupNtIl2r8eLrHa4RiPPUkcscQNRKjUiVMOgbbF1ld4wXcLquI4ic4GYWJsRTB3b__5d15sJc/s1600/Slide09.jpg" height="640" width="492" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.3999996185303px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is also where I house all of my volunteer information. I send home my volunteer sheet at Meet the Teacher night as well. I also print off my volunteer schedule so I can reference it easily.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvkuETQH6zAgHscJfNJXOOQc8V1nZ9BDaar5Lgvq-FRtTGrEn81ETy48LWzOh-O63LT1AbXVF-eDnzI5g_CxM4I70CY9-UQehxl95_MalnLOz7W_EC2NOtngI5TcBJTKkhzMKCv3KfA3I/s1600/Slide16.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvkuETQH6zAgHscJfNJXOOQc8V1nZ9BDaar5Lgvq-FRtTGrEn81ETy48LWzOh-O63LT1AbXVF-eDnzI5g_CxM4I70CY9-UQehxl95_MalnLOz7W_EC2NOtngI5TcBJTKkhzMKCv3KfA3I/s1600/Slide16.png" height="494" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 30.3999996185303px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">AND the best part about this binder is when we go on a field trip, I just grab it and we go! It has all of my students information (allegies, parents numbers, etc) that I might need on a field trip.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that you can use these at the beginning of next year, or maybe even put your binder together now!</div>

When my students are done with their work, they turn it in by placing it in their folder. I never have to deal with no names!</div>

Some you will keep, some you won't. So why don't you just choose 1? Choose 1 that you can focus completely on and make it happen!<br />
<br />
I am joining my superhero gal pals over at <a href="http://primarypowers.blogspot.com/2014/12/one-word-resolutions-linky.html" target="_blank">Primary Powers</a> for a Resolution Linky. Here is my resolution for the year.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg8XCGQY_dZ9QX5WM4jx4EG93DAOYn6WPXRb-zFLccVg1fXWsXwvgrWSLWf_J7n12yi2DZmbcY5aWC7itpTL9Yz4B96_A0GvYvd6jNz24rB36wgRk311NHK3fnqJ3wSOdvYisYvRKiJjI/s1600/Slide1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg8XCGQY_dZ9QX5WM4jx4EG93DAOYn6WPXRb-zFLccVg1fXWsXwvgrWSLWf_J7n12yi2DZmbcY5aWC7itpTL9Yz4B96_A0GvYvd6jNz24rB36wgRk311NHK3fnqJ3wSOdvYisYvRKiJjI/s1600/Slide1.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
My word is really contentment, but I couldn't fit it because it was too long :) This past year has been a year of ups and downs. We were finally pregnant with our sweet Raegan and I was content with where I was. Then she was born and we found out she had a cleft palate and being content with where we were with her became a daily struggle for me. I struggled with the fact that she couldn't breastfeed. I struggled with the fact that she would be developing the same as her peers. I wasn't content with the fact that she was going to have to have to have surgery at such a young age. Then the lack of contentment started overflowing into other parts of my life as well. I wasn't content with the fact that I couldn't be creating fun and exciting resources for my wonderful followers to use in their classrooms. I wasn't content with a lot of things, but think I realized, I needed to be thankful and content with where God has me in my life right now. So every time things aren't going my way, I'm just going to say "content, content" over and over in my head.<br />
<br />

We are sharing all of our best ideas of using <a href="http://www.gonoodle.com/?ref_id=primarypowers" target="_blank">GoNoodle</a>. You have landed at stop #17.<br />

For my tip I want to talk about using <a href="http://www.gonoodle.com/?ref_id=primarypowers" target="_blank">GoNoodle</a> to satisfy your PE minutes. I know that in some districts your class has PE during their specials, but sometimes even though your students go to PE, there isn't enough time in the day to satisfy the amount of minutes that the state requires your students to be active.<br />
<br />
Well why not incorporate <a href="http://www.gonoodle.com/?ref_id=primarypowers" target="_blank">GoNoodle</a>? It allows your students to be active and dancing to songs that they know and love!<br />
<br />
Choose a time throughout the week (maybe Friday afternoon) that you will do a few songs from <a href="http://www.gonoodle.com/?ref_id=primarypowers" target="_blank">GoNoodle</a> and VOILA! You have met your PE minutes for the week! Easy right?<br />
<br />
Well, so is signing up. Just go to www.gonoodle.com and take less than a minute and you're in!<br />
<br />
And wouldn't it be so impressive to have an answer to the "How will you incorporate PE into your classroom?" for that job interview?! SHA-BAM!<br />
<br />
Starting on Cyber Monday, <a href="http://www.gonoodle.com/?ref_id=primarypowers" target="_blank">GoNoodle</a> is also offering all Primary Powers readers 30% off purchases from <a href="http://www.gonoodle.com/?ref_id=primarypowers" target="_blank">GoNoodle</a> Shop through December 8! Use the code POWERS30 at checkout to receive the discount PLUS a special gift from <a href="http://www.gonoodle.com/?ref_id=primarypowers" target="_blank">GoNoodle </a>and Primary Powers. In addition to new t-shirts, tumblers, and other goodies for GoNoodling teachers, you can purchase affordable, pre-wrapped gift packs for students to bring a little <a href="http://www.gonoodle.com/?ref_id=primarypowers" target="_blank">GoNoodle</a> love to your classroom this holiday.<br />
<br />
You can also enter to win a set of <a href="http://www.gonoodle.com/?ref_id=primarypowers" target="_blank">GoNoodle </a>tattoos for your whole class!<br />

And when she doesn't like to take naps during the day, the poor little blog gets pushed to the back burner.<br />
<br />
But I'm here while she's taking a short nap to let you know about a Veteran's Day freebie I have! It's a great activity for students to practice a little research and writing facts about some of the amazing symbols that we have in our history because of the veterans who fought for those freedoms!<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello friends!! Baby Rae and I wanted to stop by with a little throwback post and some exciting news! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I know that many of you are setting up your Readers and Writer's Workshop and I wanted to share a few pictures of my classroom during this time! You can find the original post <a href="http://flyinghighinfirst.blogspot.com/2013/08/readers-workshop.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We always start out by asking why do readers read? I love the responses they come up with! I think its' so important that kiddos understand why we do things! I mentioned this is the earlier post, but I laminate this chart so I can easily reuse it from year to year. This teacher loves post its! </span><br />

Throughout this blogging journey, I have been fortunate to make some amazing friends along the way as we connected through happenings in our lives or things we had in common. All the ladies below are either from Texas, are a new mommy, went to Texas A&M, or a mixture of many! It became more than just talking about school and teaching, it became about checking in and seeing how life is going or how I'm doing. I am very happy to call these gals my friends! I can't thank them enough for coming along side me for this amazing journey and for also donating to this amazing giveaway!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And of course, I have to thank YOU! My amazing followers, readers, and friends! You are the ONLY reason I have hit any of these milestones. From my family and I, I can't thank you enough!</div>

I'm sure you have seen this blog hop over the past few months and goodness gracious it has had some amazing "bright" ideas! Today I am going to share my "bright" idea for back to school!<br />

Have you ever been on the playground and realized you didn't have a bandaid for that scraped knee? Or a pen to fill out a nurses pass? Well here is something that will eliminate your worries when you are on recess duty! These are great little gifts to give to your team at the beginning of the year as well!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found some adorable tin cans at Hobby Lobby and packed them full with some fun goodies after writing my team members names on their bucket!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKNUe2sIIIGeR4mYKCdV-_-iDkD8OCZE_l2MxLx4WernquMtgfLO4OpSpWHDqPeCGI3RFeuA8SqE6xMS249DrwciwqnkgCXpIucBN5LX62YdAgKS7i03Qd_sreJBTB3LhWrRAKrjeb-pQ/s1600/Slide2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKNUe2sIIIGeR4mYKCdV-_-iDkD8OCZE_l2MxLx4WernquMtgfLO4OpSpWHDqPeCGI3RFeuA8SqE6xMS249DrwciwqnkgCXpIucBN5LX62YdAgKS7i03Qd_sreJBTB3LhWrRAKrjeb-pQ/s1600/Slide2.png" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
The buckets include a pen, a soap dish to carry band-aids (from Walmart), and a squirt bottle. You may ask, what is the squirt bottle for? Well I live in Texas and our recess time can be pretty hot at the beginning and end of the school year. By having my squirt bottle, I can spray the students faces to help them cool off a bit! It really helps cut down on students asking to go inside for a drink of water. I tell them to just open their mouth :) They love it!<br />
<br />
And of course if there is anything else you might need for your recess bucket, throw it on in! Every grade level at my school takes a walkie talkie out to recess so that also gets thrown into the bucket. And so I don't forget to take my bucket when I'm on recess duty, one of my classroom jobs in recess helper. They love getting to grab the walkie talkie off my desk, put it in the bucket, and carry the bucket to and from the playground.<br />
<br />
I hope this post was helpful to you and you can use this idea for your recess duty! Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you have a happy back to school if you haven't already started!<br />

It doesn't even feel like August in Texas right now. I'm from Dallas and the high today is 82. Umm say what?! I'll take it though! This has been the mildest summer we've had in FOREVER! And being full term pregnant for most of it, I gladly welcome it!<br />
<br />
Well it's time for Farley's monthly currently. My favorite time of the month to update all my readers with what's going on in my life!<br />
<br />
Well this currently is going to be ALL about our newest addition, Raegan Phair!! She was born July 26 at 2:36am weighing 8 pounds and 2.3 ounces and she was 21 1/2 inches long. We are so in love!!<br />

Listening: it's what's playing in the NICU waiting room. Too tired to change it.<br />
<br />
Loving: I can't believe the amount of love I feel for our sweet girl. I could stare at her all day and not get bored. For real!<br />
<br />
Thinking: Our sweet girl was born with a cleft palate. Thankfully it very small and mostly on her soft palate (easier to fix). It will require surgery when she is around 3-4 months and again at 18 months, but we will deal with that later. Unfortunately, the cleft palate makes it very hard for Raegan to get a good suck so she struggles with eating. She is in the NICU learning to eat with a special kind of bottle, and until she learns and can sustain her weight, she is a on a feeding tube.<br />
<br />
Wanting: This is pretty self explanatory. I'm a new mom. You do the math.<br />
<br />
Needing: PRAYERS! Pray our sweet girl can learn how to eat from her special bottle, pray she starts gaining weight instead of losing it, and pray for Kyle and I. The hospital is about 45 minutes away from our house and the commute is hard. We are exhausted and just want our baby home with us!<br />
<br />
This year I am not going back to school. I will be staying home with my sweet girl and I can't wait! Maybe one day I will go back, but for now, I am raising our family!<br />
<br />
What are you up to?<br />

The first week of school is so important for you to get those rules and expectations in place and this unit does just that!<br />
<br />
R.O.C.K.S stands for Respect, On Task, Cooperation, Kindness, and Shine. To shine you are showing all the parts of R.O.C.K.S. I introduce one letter a day with a book and craftivity. The kids just eat it up and respond so well to it! Then the rest of the year all I have to say is "are you R.O.C.K.IN'?" and they straighten up! Most of the time ;)<br />

Come Again?I know, I know, I've been neglecting my blog, but as you all know I am pregnant and our sweet little one is due in 3 short weeks! Where has the time gone?! Anyways, if you've been pregnant before, you know sleeping is pretty much unheard of the last month or so of the pregnancy, so here I am, at 11pm doing my favoritest blog post! <a href="http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2014/06/july-currently.html" target="_blank">Farley's Currently</a>!!!<br />

Listening: like I said, sleep is pretty non existent these days, so I'm sitting up in the living room while the husband and dogs are snoring away!<br />
<br />
Loving: My favorite little 35 calorie snack are the mini rainbow popsicles by Blue Bell. You may find me eating 1 or 2 late at night. Just sayin'!<br />
<br />
Thinking: Holy cow!! It's JULY!!! That's my due date month! I can't believe it's actually here. After all the waiting and praying it's finally here! I'm going to be a momma :)<br />
<br />
Wanting: I'm 37 weeks pregnant today. I'm ready to start seeing some progress, but as of today's OB appointment, little one is very comfortable where she is!<br />
<br />
Needing: I'm needing some peace. Little one is measuring over a week ahead and weighing in around 7 lbs, 7 oz, and I'm only 37 weeks. She's going to be a big baby if she goes to term which is looking like she will. I don't want to birth a 10 pound baby, but I also don't want to be induced. Praying for peace that everything will work out perfectly!<br />
<br />
4th plans: This preggo just needs a pool and I'm good! It'll either be our neighborhood pool or a kiddie pool in the backyard!<br />

6. With being pregnant it's hard to get workouts in since I literally get winded walking to the bathroom every 5 minutes. So I am wanting to continue walking the dogs every day and doing this arm workout at least 5 times a week! (click on the picture to go the arm work out). And once baby comes and I get the all clear from my doctor, I want to get back in shape ASAP!</div>

9. there is going to be a wedding in the near future of someone VERY close to me! I don't want to let the cat out of the bag yet, because the engagement hasn't happened, BUT I'm sure we will be spending lots of our summer planning on the fun details of the wedding!<br />
<br />
10. And last but not least, just taking in the last few months of being a family of 2 before this little one arrives. I know things are going to change, but I also know they are only going to change for the better!<br />

With my math groups we have been working on addition strategies that don't include counting on our fingers for the past 3 weeks and I have to say, we have broken that habit! The following strategies we've used are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. bridge to 10</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. using my 10s facts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. doubles</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. near doubles</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. flip flop facts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. fact families</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. counting on (only when it's adding on 1, 2, or 3)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We used the game "Addition Bingo" and really practice using our strategies!</div>
