Each year in the spring, the teachers on my team do an animal research project. It’s how we kick off our animal unit and the kids just go crazy for it! When we walk into the computer lab and I tell them that they get to get on Pebble Go and explore- they lose their minds! Read more

This is going to be a quick and explanation-free Five for Friday. I’m ready to be a hermit this weekend and lounge around the house! My back is hurting so I plan on lounging all weekend. :) I hope you have a great one!

Open House and Spring Break

Classroom Recap & Freebies

So, I haven’t blogged in a few weeks because I really didn’t have anything to blog about… I have a serious case of writer’s blogger’s block. Does anyone else ever feel that way? I haven’t felt inspired to create any new products or to write a post that other people will read. I’ve just been truckin along in my room, staying busy with my class. (Have I mentioned how much I love my class this year? Because I do.)

Basically this post is a photo dump of some things we’ve been learning about the past 2 weeks. Enjoy!
