How to Catch a Leprechaun
This week we are working on my St. Patrick's Day unit. We made our Leprechaun glyphs and wrote about How to Catch a Leprechaun. These are some of their drawings they did in their journals. It's so easy to teach them how to draw if you do step by step modeling using simple shapes. This was mine that I modeled on the Smartboard. Notice that it isn't perfect and it's all made with simple shapes. Tomorrow we will be ... continue reading...

Wal-mart sells them for about $25 and then I buy the thick laminating sheets from Sams really cheap. Sams is about half the price of ... continue reading...
Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites: Chapters 1 & 2 LOTS OF PICTURES & EXAMPLES
I'm linking up with Elizabeth from Kickin' It in Kindergarten for this book study post. As I'm reading this book I constantly find myself nodding, Yes! and writing in the margins of the book. So far this book is really solidifying my Teaching Philosophy. I've always been a HUGE believer in giving students the opportunities to turn and talk.
