Don't forget the dry erase boards, and a freebie!! HM Journeys Lesson 22

So normally I am not a fan of dry erase boards.  At the beginning of the year they love to scribble and many times these  non washable makers get all over their clothing.  So I put them away until now.  Thirty-four days of school left and they can handle these boards. Yay!! Here they are writing phrases.  I am reminding them to use their spaces.  

And math, practicing some addition and subtraction as I walk around and coach.  
A simple third grad buddy task. 


And my friend Tracy is at it again!  To get her free class book for this story, otherwise know as Houghton Mifflin Journey Unit 5, Lesson 22 click here.

How many days of school do you have left?  Do you have any end of the year tips and tricks??  Anything you save as your last magic trick???

    Thanks for entering my give away. I am so glad I found your blog since it looks like you use the Journeys reading curriculum...my district is switching to that next school year so I am looking for good resources to match up with it:)

    I get hesitant to bring out the dry erase boards early in the year too!

    Ahh...dry erase boards. Some years I can bring them out early and some years I can't. This year I strictly used them in small groups and gradually moved to whole group. Worked for this class...we will see next year. Cute post! =)

The teacher has lice :/

You itched your head just reading that didn't you??  Lice does not discriminate.  Anyone can get it.  Even me. So we have A LOT of hair at our house and about a year ago I decided it would be a good idea to grow out my hair to see how long I could go before I couldn't stand it anymore.  It is a year and a half later and I had/have lice.  Nice experiment huh?  So my daughter's Kindergarten teacher is a good friend of mine and the day after Thanksgiving break came the e-mails.  "What a day, I've sent 2 home with lice and another 2 told me that they spent Thanksgiving break bagging up toys and shampooing with special shampoo." and then "5th one just went home."  I raced home at 5:00 to discover that my kinder had a head full and guess who slept in a hotel bed with her over Thanksgiving?  Yes me!!  Time to freak out.  Please don't do this.  It doesn't help whatsover and it will be OK, I promise.   If you are reading...
