I kid you not when I tell you that most of my kids said they’d keep CHEESE in their hats. WHA?!?!!?
Right after presidents, we learned all about the GREAT{est ;)} state of TEXAS!!! I didn’t really change up too much of what I did from last year {you can read about that HERE}, but I did end up our unit of learning with a Rodeo day this year. One of my sweet teammates brought her horses up to school and the kids got to ride them {with permission slips signed, of course}. AND…my FAVORITE part of the day…making and eating {er, devouring} a class bowl of Armadilly Chili!! YUM!
We hit the ground running on Monday with lots of St. Patty’s Day shenanigans. Of course, our Loopy Leprechauns had to be part of the day. This one was my favorite. I’m a sucker for little boys who write about their mommas.

PS Guess who I saw at Stonebriar this weekend?! SHAY SHULL! I was a total basket case! I kept telling my husband, "That's Shay, OMG that's Shay". And then I finally went up and talked to her and she was soooo sweet! Anywho, just thought I'd share my crazy celeb-siting!

So happy that you made a Fluency Pack for the First Grade Dolch words! I teach first grade and have been using your pre-primer/ primer pack with my intervention kiddos… Can't wait to dive into your first grade set (and 2nd-3rd for my advanced readers)!
I gave you a shout out in my recent post about intervention in my classroom! I'd love for you to check it out @ Firstie Favorites.
Take care and thank you for creating those amazing fluency sets!

Hello!
Cant wait to do this craft again with my class on Monday! Did it last year and it was a huge success! I was wondering where I could get a template of the gold coin math craft? Thank you!
