However, with the news of a little girl on the way we had a decision about my up coming school year. After much thought my husband and I decided this school year I would take a year off. It was so hard watching all of my teacher friends go back to school this year without me, however I know this is for the best. </div>

So, since I am not in my classroom this year but I wanted to link up with Blog Hoppin' I decided I would show you my previous classrooms. I am not going to lie, it was killing me to not be able to decorate a room. However, it was also nice to not be climbing on tops of desks to hang things up :). </div>

Currently this is taking over my life! Small groups! I had bought the light from Wal-Mart and the sign was a Christmas gift from a sweet student. When I realize the light was magnetic I immediately had an idea to through this sign together. I placed it behind my small group table. Therefore, when I am working in a group my kids can easily see the light on. :) </div>

I kind of love it. </div>

We have been focusing on Non-Sense words. I wrote lots and lots of them on cute cut outs. Now each time I meet with my group we can practice a new set of words. We have REALLY focused on blending and reading the whole word. I think the cute and colorful cut outs get my kids pretty excited (they like new cute things, like their teacher). </div>

Also, I recently found<a href="http://www.mrswillskindergarten.com/2013/02/writing-work-station.html"> Mrs. Wills' Writing Station</a>! I am truly in love with this concept. For January I added her make a list, story, or label it to my station. I put up the I Can list in clear sleeves above the paper bins with hold the appropriate papers. The clear sleeves make it easy so I can change the pear out each month. I also put the black line master behind the I Can List in the clear sleeve in case we need an extra copy. My kids REALLY enjoy going to the writing work station again! PTL. For February I added the "I Can make a Card". Ohmyword. That was the hot item of the week! </div>

I have been patiently waiting to show you my classroom pictures when my blog face lift was complete! Thank you Kerri from<a href="http://www.thecutestblogontheblockcustomdesign.com/"> Cutest Blog on the Block </a>for the makeover. My blog needed a little 'blogger botox' to perk her up, and I think we definitely accomplished the "fresh" new look! </div>

This year I decided to change it up in my classroom. I was over the neon and Rockstar theme and needed a change. My goal was to go for a more preppy nautical look this year! With a few details missing, I like how it turned out! And I apologize in advance that some of the pictures are blurry, it took me a while to get a hang of the new camera. </div>

4. After my planner came in it was totally necessary that I go to Office Depot for a special trip to get new pens right? I am obsessed with these pens! I started using erasable pens last year again. Can we say 3rd grade flashback. We had to use them when we were learning how to write cursive, and we loved our big kid pens! I forgot how amazing it is to have the erasable feature. Nothing bothers me more when I mess up writing in my planner. Then the page is doomed to be ugly. Supper annoying. Well, not anymore! These pens are amaze, and they even come in cool colors. Score! </div>

Hello Lovelies, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited to link up with Cara over at <a href="http://thefirstgradeparade.blogspot.com/2013/06/throwback-thursday.html">The First Grade Parade </a>for a little Throwback Thursday Linky Party! I love to look back on activities I have done with my littles! It's also nice when you need a refresher on previous activities you did with you students. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My throwback post is from January 17, 2012. This was before I moved to another city and had to change schools. Therefore, it was a nice little walk down memory lane of my old school! :)<b><br /></b></div>

Workstation Revamp! {& Silly Sentences}
</h3>
<div class="post-header">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's
about that time of year again where my students {and I} feel *blah*
about workstations. Although the kiddos are still excited to go to
workstations (duh), their attention span is minimal and some of them
seem to forget the rules. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What to do? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Introduce some new and exciting things into the workstations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Review rules of workstations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- And if it's not working... change or omit it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I
always like to introduce these into the pocket chart when my students
are independently reading! The kids go *bananas* for this work station! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I keep all of the parts of the
sentences in one container. {Now let me be honest, this took a while to
cut and laminate, since its such a big packet. However, you could pick
and choose which words you would like to add to your Silly Sentence Work
Station*</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My directions are hanging beside the
pocket chart and, I place the colored numbers at the top for students to
use to make their sentence! This makes it SUPER easy to follow the
directions! Which is what my bambinos need!</div>

So
simple, yet TONS of fun! It's a great opportunity not only to construct
the sentences, but to read as well! My students create the sentence,
read the sentence and then record the sentence! The best part about this
is their are SO many possibilities for sentences! </div>

I also finished up my new writing station re-do. There is now a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>must do</b></span>
sheet which you can learn more about at First Grade Jungle. Ms. Thomas
shared these fill in the blank pre-writes with me which I LUSH! The
Littles have been having the HARDEST time staying focused and producing
quality work from this station. It was time for a change! </div>

This week is such a special time for teachers. Not only are we showered with appreciation by our students and administration for all we do, but I think its a great time for us teachers to appreciate each other. So thank you to each and every teacher that helps me plan, organize, create, and grow. You make life as a teacher a little easier and I could not be more thankful for you all! Not only to the teachers I work with at my school, who are amazing women/ teachers (could not do it without them), but all of the bloggers that inspire me daily! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My TpT store is now on sale until Wednesday as a way to show my appreciation! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My cart is already full ready for the big sale! So excited. </div>

So I promised I was not avoiding all of you... I've just been SUPER busy! And with wedding season upon us... I won't slow done till... JUNE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now on to school stuff, you know... what this blog is all about. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We celebrated the 100th day of school last week. You can see what I did last year <a href="http://firstgradefresh.blogspot.com/search/label/100th%20Day">here</a>. <br />
This year I added some new ideas, and of course stuck to some oldies that I love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the new ideas I had was using the 100s grid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I gave each student a 100s grid. Then, my littles had to make a picture with it and create a number sentence with the amount they used to make their picture. I was pleasantly surprised by my students creativity! </div>

I forgot to snap a picture of their 100th day writing! They wrote about what they would spend $100 on, and they turned out presh! I gave them fake dollar bills to use with their drawings. You would have thought they were real! They could not WAIT to get one to use in their drawings. Definitely an incentive to use good writing skills! I also forgot to snap pictures of their 100th day chex mix! That is something I will for sure do next year. They loved it! <br />
<br />
Now I also had ALL of December and January pictures to catch you up on. Maybe over my Mardi Gras Break :) </div>

Hopefully I will not be a stranger to the blog for long. I plan on having a sale since apparently I fell off the Earth and missed ALL of them. Ugh! Bummer! I have a shopping cart loaded with TpT wish list purchases! However, at least you all can benefit from my sale. </div>

Shocking. (Overhead Work Station)<div style="text-align: center;">
I know, I know. I am surprised too. Like I said, when I started feeling like I was not drowning in school work I would be back. Hopefully this will continue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I posted yesterday about creating activities for my littles to do at the overhead projector during work stations. It's DONE! Whoo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted to incorporate the overhead into our work stations since it is simple technology to work with and my kids love it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first I had my students making words with the Overhead Pens. After my OCD could not handle the mess of the pens all over, I introduce using magnet letters to make the words. My students would make their weekly words, words from the word wall, or words from around the room. Then, I found overhead 1 inch tiles. I had the idea to write letters on the tiles for the students to use. And that is where the idea of having overhead transpariences with pictures which the students would make the word.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I snapped pictures today of one of my cuties working at the work station. She was doing an amazing job!</div>

I mentioned yesterday that I had created a new activity, which I am using in the writing work station for now. This could also be used in other work stations, however my littles this year needed extra practice creating sentences. </div>

I use a small pocket chart for the students to create setences. After they create the sentences the record them on the sheet; being mindful of capitlization, spacing, spelling, and punctuation. So far my students have loved it! I store the strips in the basket below the chart. However, the words they use most often (likes the, color, likes to, eat, drink) are stored in the bottom of the pocket chart. </div>

Also, I am really excited about a new Work Station activity for the Overhead. I found that there were NO resources for the overhead to be used during workstations. Although this technoloy is dated my kids LOVE working at the overhead. It also is helpful that overheads are easy to acess now that most teachers are throwing them out for their interactive white boards.</div>

This will hopefully be posted later tonight in time for the sale!</div>

I am definetly not a Black Friday shopper. I really do not like the feeling of pressure when I am shopping. I like to shop in peace :). The majority of my purchases occur online. I like the no fuss!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore, I am very excited for Cyber Monday. Mainly just for the TpT sale. Of course my Teachers Pay Teacher cart is already loaded up with items that I have been saving in my wishlist! Are you as excited as I am about the deals on TpT?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore, I decided to buckle down and finish creating a few new activities for y'all. So you can grab them with the discount :). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Click any picture below to go to the item at my TpT store*</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
First up, "Friendship Sentences". This activity was created to help my littles master the art of writing setneces. Starting with a capital letter, puncutation, does it make sense, etc. Therefore, I wanted to create something I thought my students would enjoy. Students simply create sentences using their friends names. I also included factualy and staff members, like myself and our principal's name when I created this activity for my class. One page inclused is used for "friends" names. The teacher will use the blank space to cut and paste a picture and then write the name beside the picture.</div>

Lastly, this week our theme is Polar Bears. Sticking to the Common Core Standards this topic seemed to fit best during this time of year! Therefore, I created a little mini book for my students to use this week while we are reading about Polar Bears to gather information!</div>

Thanksgiving Break! But really though. Are you with me? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cannot wait to catch up on sleep, errands, and even some school work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that is definitely not all that I am thankful for, I have been so blessed lately! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are not new to my blog then you know I have been CRAY cray busy since oh... last January when I started planning a wedding. Life has not stopped since. However, I love every minute of all of the new things that have come with being a newlywed. Especially during the holiday season. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like our first Halloween. I cannot explain how excited I was to sit outside and pass out candy! Ha. It could have partially been because I ate candy the entire time. </div>

Election 2012:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was 100% inspired by Cara Carroll's Presidential Unit last year. The girl is creative! It was the perfect way to discuss the election with my littles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We read these three books and then did a mock election in class. </div>

Another new workstation I added was the Non-Fiction Reading Station. I really wanted to promote my students to read to find out new information about a topic. I added a variety of books on various levels. I discussed with the students that they would still need to use the "good fit book" strategy to find books to read during this time. </div>

I was <b>fully</b> prepared to take pictures of my finished classroom before our Open House tomorrow. However, sorry ladies… it just not in the cards to happen! That little hurricane about to hit the South is messing up my blogging plans! Tears. However, I will eventually do a full post of my classroom pictures! Pinky swear. In the meantime, please keep those in the line of the hurricane in your prayers to be safe during this time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I cannot do the full unveiling of my new 1st Grade home… I will do a sneak peak of what I managed to snap on my camera phone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My new math tub area, and AR Quiz Line {which I posted about <a href="http://firstgradefresh.blogspot.com/2012/01/starting-off-happy-new-year.html">last year</a>/ but I will post my new AR Line soon for you to download and use in your classroom}. BTW I am loving the picture frame that says Math Tubs… in my shopping spree for teacher goods I could not pass up some cheap frames from target. I figured eventually they would come in handy. Glad I listened to my shopalolism voices. :)</div>

Last year, like many nights I randomly stumbled upon whole brain teaching you tube videos… who knows what I was actually searching for. However, I am so lucky to have found whole brain! If you have not yet, youtube search for whole brain videos! Worth the few minutes of your time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below are the posters I made to go with our rules that I adapted from some of the videos I found. I added the sassy ribbon… because I felt like it. No other reason. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now here is my little piece of home in my classroom. Feather lamp? Necessity. Three sassy frames with a picture the band took from our wedding… best night ever, a picture of my little nuggets, and my BFF Ms. Thomas. She only deserves the best hot pink sequin frame, am I right?</div>

Lastly, I am just proud of my bow I made for my pointer holder. If you only knew how many SAD attempts it took before I made ONE decent looking bow. Bless my soul if I have a daughter… I guess I will be purchasing those overpriced bows in order to spare her from the embarrassment. </div>

I am SOO excited to show you the entire room! </div>

Until then, I hope everyone is safe during this time and that all we get in LA is some rain… I finally found my rain boots and gosh darnit' I want to wear them on my day off playing in the rain! </div>

This week was my FIRST week in my classroom! I am officially in my room decorating like a crazed woman! Why? Because I report to school Monday and my kiddos Friday. Uh huh. You read that correctly. Therefore, I pretty much need to be almost done tomorrow. I feel like I have decorated my classroom in record speed. I mean you guys have probably seen my classroom pictures? I am a mad woman with decorating. I LOVE it. But this year has brought on a huge challenge! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below are pictures of my new room… with the other teachers belongings in it still. It was a blank canvas when I walked in Monday, with some desk and a odd array of old furniture that was left over. Needless to say, I discarded most of the things I did not need. Including my teacher desk and then got to work. No worries… pictures will come. But I promise this new room looks very similar to last years classroom. I didn't have much time to change it up much, sorry. </div>

Now on to my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">GIVEAWAY</span></b></span>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know some y'all have been waiting for this, and now that I have a minute I will post about these gems. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I teamed up with <a href="http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/home/home.jsp?ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181113&bmUID=1343958460777">Lakeshore Learning</a>… you know that amaze lil' teacher store. They so graciously gave me a few items to review for them! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up are these <a href="http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/seo/ca|searchResults~~p|2534374302175733~~.jsp">Work in Progress Folders</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year in my classroom we had a folder called the "Safe Place" folder. The folders were used to store any papers we were still working on and did not have time to finish. These Work in Progress Folders would be PERFECT for that! Plus, they are a durable folder unlike those paper ones you may get from your school supply lists. </div>

Next, is the <a href="http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/seo/ca|searchResults~~p|2534374302174847~~.jsp">School-To-Home Organizer</a>. These are not only great for sending home work but, there are a ton of more ways to use these little organizers. They could be used to send home take home books with recording sheets or they could be used to store workstation recording sheets, along with items for that work station. Even better, they seem to be durable enough to take the beatings from my 1st graders! :)</div>

Below is the sad excuse for my students "mailboxes" I used last year. I used these babies to hold everything I wanted to go home! Any worksheets, classwork, art projects, etc. would go in their mailboxes for the students to take home once a week. This eliminated the hassle of passing out papers everyday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-2tG-HiTVYNeN1y27wJ_TbjGkmBcXvS7fHNDPr9AUXKaUHb4G1hkCz8HqEIJzSo90shUFSJjMShOrw43lTwlNgHXP2ZVq9O6D6rh5yrMvTokOAR5NxxL0VHLvAvUWzJCB3c5TroSb1YI/s1600/DSC02356_2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-2tG-HiTVYNeN1y27wJ_TbjGkmBcXvS7fHNDPr9AUXKaUHb4G1hkCz8HqEIJzSo90shUFSJjMShOrw43lTwlNgHXP2ZVq9O6D6rh5yrMvTokOAR5NxxL0VHLvAvUWzJCB3c5TroSb1YI/s320/DSC02356_2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, those Lakeshore ones are beyond awesome. First, they are prettier. Second, I love the stand that comes with it to hold them in an organized manner. And lastly, they are the perfect size for storing papers. Can you tell I am a little obssessed? Now I just need to buy another set for my classroom this year :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They are the perfect way to display your student work. Simply add student work to the top of the papers already displayed throughout the year. Then at the end of the year you will have a fab mini-portfolio for the students to take home to show their progress in the classroom. </div>

Here is a quick pic my bridesmaid snapped of me before we headed out of the room. As soon as my photographer gives me pictures I will share some more pictures of my big day along with our honeymoon. It was everything I could have dreamed of and more! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, on to the BIG NEWS. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have been following my blog for a few months now, you all know I have been on the hunt for a teacher home! I just moved to a new city (thank you to the new husband) and left my old teaching position behind. Such a bittersweet few months! I just kept faith that God would put me in the right position as I continued to search for a new job in a new city!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The week before my wedding (2 weeks ago) I received a phone call from a principal who had seen my resume, I went in for an interview and I loved her, she was amazing! ONE hour later… my phone was ringing from HR asking me if I wanted to accept the position. Did I possibly squeal in the phone? Yes. It is what I do when I am BEYOND happy. PTL! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even better news… I AM BACK IN <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">FIRST GRADE</span></span></b>! God knew exactly what he was doing. So, this week is <b><i>go</i></b> mode. I get into my new classroom today, filling out paperwork galore, and I am still trying to unpack our house. Think of an episode of hoarders in a bachelor pad. <i>Ugh, it's not good</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So onto my giveaway. In honor of all of the amazing changes in my life and my fab followers who read, comment and support, this one is for you! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have teamed up with the fabulous Lakeshore Learning to host a little giveaway. Tomorrow I will be doing a full post on a few items they graciously sent me to review, including the giveaway item. I mean seriously? I love ALL of their products. They also are giving my followers a promotional code to use during these back to school weeks. Seriously? Where did my summer go? Oh yeah, to planning that wedding of mine. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Alright ladies, since next week is my wedding weekend then it is off to our honeymoon I am going to try to do a <i><b>few</b></i> post before I leave!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been getting LOTS of emails about setting up my classroom. As you guys know I am still keeping faith that the right position will be coming my way. However, in the mean time I can live through you all and be jealous that y'all are decorating your classrooms! Ahh</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me start by saying I am no expert. However, I am my father's child (who works in the furniture business) and he has an amazing talent for decorating. So putting together my room is just something that was fun for me :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I tried to come up with a quick list of some helpful tips when you start off:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Choose 2- 3 colors: Whether you choose a theme (I did a Rock star theme) or not, it is important to be consistent with your color scheme. Last year I chose hot pink, lime green, and turquoise. Then I added zebra (black/white) to jazz it up. My inspiration came from one of my borders. I tried to incorporate the colors from the print on the border into my room! </div>

2. Keep your walls the same colors! If you choose to do each wall in a different print or color it will look mismatched and not cohesive. So, for example if you are doing your room all blue and yellows, then stick to doing all of your walls the same. Or in my case I did the same lime green on four walls, two turquoise, and 2 hot pink. Also, the entire front wall of my room was an electric purple. This is not what I had planned when I first started but it turned out to match with my theme and style. </div>

3. Patterns on the wall are HARD to decorate with. Try to keep it simple by keeping the patterns to the borders, and the solids for the wall space.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
4. BORDER- This was my biggest learning experince… keep it all the same. Buy a few that match your theme and colors and <i>just</i> use those all over the room. AND, double up! Layer borders on top of each other, it gives a more dramatic effect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

5. Now that you have chosen your color scheme and border, the first thing I suggest is sitting down and mapping out your room. I used post-it notes and a large piece of paper so I could envision what it would look like. Move the post-its around on the paper until you find what works for your room. This will save you the time of pushing furniture or taking down paper/ border that did not work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Once you map it out and put up your borders and paper… now it's on to the finishing touches and arranging the furniture. I always tried to make sure my room "flowed" and had an inviting feeling to the class. If you have too much furniture in your classroom, KICK IT OUT! The janitors may not love you for it, but you won't regret it! Sometimes us teachers like to hold on to our furniture because we had to fight to get it! <i>Ha</i>. But if it's not working, then let it go and have a home in someone else's classroom who may actually have a use for it. Plus, what comes around goes around, furniture will come and go! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, most of all remember to get yourself a good glue gun… it seems to solve all my problems when decorating a classroom! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Best of luck decorating! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please send me your pictures, I would love to feature you lovely teachers on my blog for your adorable rooms! </div>

It is that time of year… count down. The summer is calling my name! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, with this comes so many changes… moving to another city, wedding, missing my bestie teacher friend (Ms. Thomas is moving back to Dallas), and leaving my kids. Don't get me wrong, I am beyond excited about everything that is up and coming this summer. I am so happy and blessed! However, I get sad this time every year thinking that these little bits that stepped into my door as babies are moving on and ready for 2nd grade {and a whole new teacher}. <i>*Am I the only teacher that really feels like these are MY students, ha* </i>Yet, it is a great feeling to watch them grow and move on! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this summer will be filled with updates on where my life/ career takes me!</div>

The end of the school year is upon us… what does this mean?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are packing our weeks full of fun activities to keep the kids motivated to learn! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week in reading our skills were color words as adjectives, and cause and effect. Ms Thomas came up with the idea to use Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes to teach cause and effect. This was perfect for the skill. We started by filling out the sheet below, which you can click on to get your free copy. </div>

Like I said earlier in my post, we learned some new color words to spice up our writing. The kids get SO into this activity. They were using words like "golden rod" and "wisteria" to describe different things throughout the day. Love it. </div>
