This and That...

Raise your hand if you feel like the summer is FLYING by!!!! Although I am excited for another year, I am needing this break to slow down just a tad! Since this probably will not happen anytime soon, I have been hard at work preparing for a new year!

I just bought my very first iPhone {I know…I am SO behind} and I am so excited about using it in my classroom. I am trying to talk the hubs into buying me an iPad to use in the classroom so I won’t kill my phone! We will see how that works out! :) I am having a linky party over at Second Grade Shenanigans to build a nice list of teacher/student friendly apps! Go check it out and link up with your favorite apps HERE!



I am also beyond excited about implementing a classroom economy in my classroom this year! Last year, my kiddos couldn’t get enough of our economy! If you want to check out my unit that is packed with resources and lesson plans, click on the picture below!



I have also started a new little series called Firstie Fridays! I taught first grade for four years prior to looping with my kids to second and AGAIN to third! ;) Since I have all of these first grade ideas flooding my brain, I figured I would share them with all of my first grade blog buddies! {These ideas will work well for second grade peeps too!} I posted about a fun little adjective strategy on Friday! You can check out my friend Suzie Adjective HERE!

And finally, we are having a Carolina Blogger Meet-Up! If you are in the Carolina area, {or Georgia…Florida…or anywhere for that matter} we would love to see you there! Check out the details below!

I hope that you are all having a great summer!
