Spring Break FREEBIE

Aloha blogger ohana,

I am so thankful for Spring Break and a little bit sad that it is almost over. Last year I posted this little freebie. It worked like a charm when my little friends returned from Spring Break. I had them on their desks when they walked in. We started our morning circle as usual and then part way through I dismissed them to go and fill in their Spring Break Postcards. They worked so hard, the room was silent. Then we all came back to the circle rug and shared. In case you would like it here it is:

Fairy tale update and a Writer's Workshop Freebie

Aloha blogger friends!

I wanted to stop by quickly to post my lesson plans for the week. I am going to Mexico on Friday and worked today to get prepared for my awesome sub "Mrs. Chrissie" next week as well. We are super busy with fairy tales, balance and motion and maps around here. There are a few pictures below...we had snow up on Mauna Kea! Have a wonderful week friends!!

This is the view from my classroom of Mauna Kea. Can you see it behind the trees? There is a little snow on the top. It is fun for our kiddos to see. Some of them were lucky enough to go visit it or to have some brought down to play with.

During the month of February we learn all about Europe. Each week we learn about a different country: England, France, Germany and Italy. This week is our last week, so we will be learning about Italy...mainly Venice!

Of course here is a freebie for you...an elipsis poster! Just right click and print it as a picture.

At Last...it is time for an ADVENTURE!

Aloha Blog World,

I can't tell you through this post how excited I am to be here in the blogging world. I have been thinking of having a blog long before there were any of the thousands of awesome teacher bloggers out there. Now, I am here and ready to share. I have so much planned and preparred that I am giddy with excitement. I promise I won't talk to much...just focus on ideas, freebies, and inspiring pictures.

I know that I am not the only one still on Spring Break, so here is a freebie to have on your students desks when they arrive back to school:
