Five for Friday ---- on a Sunday!

So I am late to the party, but at least I am posting.  Better late than never!

First blog post in 6 months.  I decided to be myself, and not worry about what the exes are seeing on my teaching blog.  I post happy, joyful teaching moments, so they can read away!

I am working on two math projects!  I finally made something.  Seriously, I haven't created anything in ages.  I finally kicked it in gear and finished my Dia de los Muertos Math Ten Frames.  They are on sale for $2!

Number of months that I have been Mrs. Davis.  We got married while I was at the TPT (and I teach K) Conference  in Las Vegas. (I wonder if any one else got crazy and got married.)

I have 4 tables of 5 kindergarteners.  These kiddos crack me up!  Ummm.... excuse me.... I love you!  "well, I love you too!"  Why didn't someone tell me kindergarten is way more awesome than first grade?  

These pictures are from our "sight" walk, during our study of our five senses.

Five page books!  We finished our five page books.  My kiddos are really doing a fabulous job with their writing.  Thank you to Dee Dee Wills and Deanna Jump for writing awesome Writing Units!

Plane

I am on a plane in Alabama.

A car is driving.

On the fun wheel. (Ferris wheel)

I was high in the sky.

I am so proud of all my little writers!

Updates!

I moved to a new school!  Now I am teaching Kindergarten!!! Of course my teaching BFF is right next door!  

Here’s a peek at my room!

I survived Camp Kindergarten – it’s where we mix up all the full day kinders and then try and find the right mix for each class.  It must have worked, since I have 20 fabulous kiddos. 

Here's my principal, half day Kindergarten, My Teacher BFF, and myself after the world's longest Camp Kindergarten day!  WE are still smiling.  (FYI - I wore the blue shirt for a week!  Thank goodness for the fast wash setting on my washer.)

My grandson has gotten big!!!  He's nearly 7 months old now.  He's all about the selfies.  More accurately, he wants to eat my phone.

 I may have gotten a personalized candy jar and water glass.  

(Oh, I changed my name!  Since I got married this summer when I was in Las Vegas at the TPT conference!!)

Five for Friday-- Spring Break Style!

 

 

Spring Break!

 

I started break with cleaning!  Took Emerson out for a dog haircut, cleaned the carpets, sorted out winter clothes!

 

St. Patrick's Day!!  That's my little cutie of a grandson.  Teenagers and I did some spring clothes shopping.  I survived Forever 21, which I am NOT!

Date Night, after basketball, Mr. Davis and I got to watch Horrible Bosses 2, sadly I didn't think it was as funny as the first one.

MARCH MADNESS!

 

My absolute favorite time of year! March Madness is like a holiday at our house!  everyone fills out a bracket -- winner chooses dinner and activity.  (I'm losing already, DARN  Iowa State & Baylor.) 
NO worries Kansas plays today!!!  (Sorry Mr. Davis - I didn't see Mizzou on the bracket! HMMmmmmmm.)

 

 Still having a pencil sharpener giveaway, scroll farther down to enter. I'd love for you to get the most amazing pencil sharpener I have ever used!!

 



BEST Pencil Sharpener EVER!! Giveaway!!

Oh my goodness!!!

We got the absolute best pencil sharpener this week!!

I was out surfing the web looking for a replacement sharpener.  Imagine that, my first graders have ruined yet another sharpener!  (One of those super expensive ones-- that allegedly don't break--hahaha!!!)

I found several blogs talking about Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener.  I read the reviews and watched this video. 

I must say, I was intrigued.  So I ordered one!

I anxiously awaited it's arrival.  I was literally stalking our mail delivery guy.  (He was not flattered.)

Then, It ARRIVED!!!

 



My kids were waiting too.  I definitely had slacked on sharpening their pencils.  I couldn't use that yucky old sharpener from the teacher work room one last time.  Soooooooo...... we had A LOT pencils to sharpen.  Luckily, my kids were up for the challenge.

 

 Step one pinch the top of the sharpener to load the pencil in!

 

 

Step two Twist the handle three or four times, it doesn't take much!

 

 

Step three ENJOY super sharpened pencils!!!! 

 

REPEAT, approximately 50 more times!!!

 

This is without a doubt the best sharpener I have EVER used!  I have been teaching, both big and little kiddos, and I can honestly say it is quiet, easy to use, and well made.  Everyone needs to run out and buy one of these!  It is worth every penny! 

You don't want to pend a penny, do you??  So enter my GIVEAWAY!!
