Journeys lessons turned poetry notebook--I'm working on it....Free printable

To get this printable click here
Well the first night of creating stuff did not go so well but we have......da da da dummmmm.......ONE printable!  That's right, you heard my correctly.  The problem is we used Microsoft Publisher and cannot figure out how to create a PDF just yet.  We will probably be purchasing Corel Draw soon but that isn't gonna help anybody in the next week.  I do have a sneak peak of my idea though.  I would like to create differentiated writing printables for each day.  The first one is a nursery rhyme printable to go with the focus letter in Houghton Mifflin Journeys reading series.  Each week the learned letter will drop out of the alphabet until the write the whole thing themselves!  I eventually want to create around 10 writing center printables for each lesson/week.  Here is the first one.  The one that took all night *sigh* 

Updated to say I'm FINISHED!  Get the whole alphabet here.

    This looks great! I love the set up! Once you get the basic layout you want, the rest goes super easy! Sort of wish I had the K book instead of the 2nd grade book that takes me forever to create centers:)

    Amanda,
    I have not been on here for ages! You need a PDF program of some sort or you can get free ones on the internet. What version of Publisher do you have? I will help you.
    Check out the other books I have for your little one to read on my blog. I just added my name to your followers so keep up the great work.

    Thanks Fran! We just purchased Corel Draw because hubby needed it at home anyway so I should have these converted in no time. I just need to find no time to do it! LOL I've been very busy! I need to go visit your site as well. :)

    Oooh My! This is Fabulous! I just found your blog via Pinterest,and I am glad I did! You are very talented and I can't wait to see the whole alphabet!
    I would be ever so grateful if you could make a tutorial on "how" you make printables! I SO want to give that a try someday myself!

6 weeks of grace!

Here we go. 20th year! 10th year in 2nd grade! Where has the time gone?! Today I want to talk about what I have learned in the last few years (crazy journey we've been on huh?) It is.... Give yourself grace the first 6 weeks of school! I no longer start the first week of school with the mindset that I'm gonna get up early and workout, come home do a load of laundry, cook a healthy meal etc. etc. NOW I tell myself you may not workout for 6 weeks and it's OK, laundry may pile up (I warn my family), I'm not gonna cook much (I warn my family-actually they know by now). I may let myself stay later at school, maybe even a weekend BUT THEN after 6 weeks are up I implement the rest of it back in my life. This is the best advice I can give to young teacher families.  What have you learned about home/work balance??

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 this because you have li
