Hey! I'm back! You're probably wondering where I've been?! Well, life gets crazy and time can get away from you. Ok, about a year got away from me (maybe more). I've had a few people asking about my blog...so I thought I'd get back on it!</div>

I started working at a new school this year. It's been amazing! I can't possibly blog about all of the awesome things we've done this year, so I thought I'd just pick up right where we are! I'm linking up with <a href="http://doodlebugsteaching.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Doodle Bugs Teaching</a> to share my Five for Friday!</div>

Who loves Pete the Cat?! We do! I think we have about 15 Pete the Cat books in our classroom library now. Any-hoo, I decided to create this <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Oh-Pete-Easter-Edition-3076939" target="_blank">adorable lil' Pete</a> and some comprehension graphic organizers to go with the book!

If you're anything like me, you are always looking for ways to improve your students' writing. We are now in the second half of the year and I challenge my students to write "stronger" sentences. I created a pack that has several activities (including this cute lil' book) that focus on parts of speech and developing those "strong" sentences. If you're interested, take a look<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Strong-Sentences-Nouns-Verbs-Adjectives-Sentences-1812422" target="_blank"> here</a>. </div>

Good morning! Happy Saturday! It's been a while since I've shared the happenings in room 16 with you! I'll be honest, it's been a very busy and challenging couple of weeks! October is such a busy month! I also have a couple of kiddos that are going to make me an even better teacher this year:). If you're a teacher, you understand. </div>

First up...pumpkin week! I absolutely LOVE pumpkin week! There are so many fun things you can do to integrate math, science, writing, reading, and art! Here is a little snapshot of our pumpkin investigations! We spent the afternoon as scientists; and in groups, the kiddos investigated their pumpkins.</div>

I have two words for this week. Full moon. I never really believed in the superstitions...until I became a teacher:).

A big thank you to <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Teacher-To-The-Core" target="_blank">Teacher to the Core</a> for creating this cute story! We did some apple stamping so they could take their stars home and tell their parents about it!</div>

Last up, inflatable microphones! I'm sure you're wondering what we are using these for?! I've started using them as part of a Kagan structure-interview pair share. I thought I'd jazz it up a bit with these microphones. You can purchase these on Amazon for $6.00 for a set of 12! </div>

Fall is in the air! Ok, maybe just inside room 16 where the air conditioner is running and apple decor is hanging all over the walls. Yes, it is still in the upper 90's here! Thankfully, I think it's supposed to cool down a little bit next week.</div>

We have spent the last couple of weeks on our apple unit. This is one of my many favorite units of the year! We started off with an apple taste test, which helped us with our opinion writing. </div>

Next up, apple painting. I attempted my first directed drawing of the year, with my firsties. I LOVE directed drawings and use them throughout the year...so I thought we'd start with something simple. This activity really lets the students practice following directions:).</div>

I especially love the "Think before you speak" sign. My grandma, who used to help out in my classroom, always said this to my kiddos. Last year, one of my firsties from the year before, came up to me and said, "I'm thinking before I'm speaking!" Ahhh...my eyes filled with tears. #guardianangel </div>

We left the meet-up with some serious "teacher swag!" The meet-up ended at about 9pm. We were starving. We had to find a place to eat. Let me just say...you know you're a teacher when you're walking around Vegas with a bright orange Go Noodle bag and school supplies at 9 o'clock at night! </div>

A couple of weeks ago, I got together with two of my teacher friends and made fabric chandeliers! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Ok, I did it. I joined Periscope. I said I wasn't going to....and then saw how much fun all the other teachers are having! I really didn't need anymore social media in my life. I haven't done my first broadcast yet. To tell you the truth, I'm a little nervous. Eventually. For now, I'll enjoy everyone else's broadcasts! It truly is amazing to see the teacher community come together to inspire and encourage one another. If you'd like to find me on Periscope, search @laughlovelearn.</div>

I probably should've saved this one for #madeitmonday! But, here it is. This desk has been sitting in my office for years! I've been wanting to give it a little make-over! I decided it was nothing a little chalk paint couldn't handle. I looked all over Pinterest getting ideas. This had to be easy, right? Everyone is doing it. People chalk paint everything these days. Let me start by saying that painting is not easy, even if Pinterest says so. This project took me all day. </div>

Oh, and did I mention it is THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL {insert happy dance}! I love teaching, I love my students, and even all of the end-of-year craziness, but this teacher is ready for summer vacation! </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a tough year. I'm hoping to relax, re-charge, and try not to spend all my summer prepping for next school year. In fact, I'm still loving my room decor, so I'm going to keep most of it up for the up-coming school year. I have never done this. Never. This will definitely add at least another week to my vacation. All you teachers out there know how long it takes to hang all new paper, borders, and not to mention the small fortune we spend on this stuff! I'll probably add a few new small touches {stay tuned for #madeitmonday}...but most of it is staying up for round two!</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Speaking of adding extra time to my summer vacation...I have spent a lot of time lately prepping for the first few weeks of school! This will save me so much time this summer. I've photocopied everything I'll need for the first month or so, prepped for Back To School Night, and even prepped the first couple of art projects I have planned! I know, you're thinking I'm crazy...but all the small things like putting pencil boxes together, beginning of the year student gifts, prepping morning work binders, and creating name plates will sneak up on you very quickly! So, I love to have as much done and prepped as I can. I'm a planner:).</span></div>

We also made Seuss-juice! It was very simple to make: kool-aid, sugar, and Swedish fish candies.</div>

Spring is in the air! Since we've been having all this beautiful weather I thought it was time to brighten up the classroom with some spring art! St. Patrick's day is about a week away...so I decided we'd create these beautiful rainbows! They definitely made our grammar lesson a little more colorful:). After the kids created their rainbows, they came up with a list of adjectives that described their rainbow. Then, they picked their favorite adjective and wrote it on a sparkly gold coin! Stay tuned for more St. Patty's Day fun next week!</div>

Spring fever is in full force in room 16! I've really had to pull out all the teacher tricks to keep the kiddos engaged and out of trouble:). I blame this beautiful weather we've been having:).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I only have a couple of things to share with you. I didn't take many pictures this week. Shocking, I know. The spring fever must be getting to the teacher too:). </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Young Authors' Faire is here! I have a few advanced kiddos in my class that I knew would be able to work independently....and create something awesome! Normally, I do a class book with my kids to submit to the Young Authors' Faire. We just weren't at that point yet this year. I gave my advanced students the task of creating books while I continue to work with the rest of the kiddos on their writing skills. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids created books about the best parts of them. Some of the things they wrote about were so adorable! They each picked five things to write about and then used the iPad to photograph each of these things. Of course, I forgot to take pictures of the final product. I promise to snap a few pictures next week! Here are a few pictures of the book making process.</div>

We also spent the week learning about Chinese New Year! We watched a couple short video clips on the traditions of Chinese New Year, read books, and created these awesome dragons! The dragons were a two day process. We painted on the first day and put everything else together the second day. The kids were super creative. There may or may not have been flying dragons all over the classroom! I like to call this controlled chaos:).</div>

He enjoyed his visit so much he decided to stay another day {I may or may not have forgotten to put him away after school}. The kiddos decided that he must have been on a two day vacation or really wanted to be there for the log cabin making. I agreed, that must have been what it was;).</div>

Guess who got the new iPhone 6 this week?! Okay, it wasn't completely by choice. My phone just stopped working Tuesday morning. Do you know how hard it is to go an entire day without a phone? It's sad, really. How am I supposed to take these awesome pictures to share with you all, without my phone:)? I love my new phone...just in case you were wondering. </div>

I don't think the kiddos were bothered by it at all! They were more interested in the cookies:).</span></div>

We've been busy in room 16 the past couple of weeks! We made these adorable snow globes! My kiddos didn't quite know what a snow globe was at the start of our writing projects. During our writing one of my kiddos asked, "Is our snow globe taking us to The North Pole?" I love the imagination of seven year olds!</div>

This year, a couple of teacher friends and I took on the task of putting on the Christmas program. It was a blast! The students and families were so appreciative of all our hard work. Here are some pictures of our adventures along the way:).</div>

Every year, before Christmas break, my grandma used to decorate cookies with the kiddos. I had decided I wasn't going to do it this year because I had been so busy with the Christmas program. I was exhausted. But, it was pulling at my heart strings. I ended up at the grocery store, twice, the evening before the last day of school. I knew gram would want me to decorate the cookies with the kids. They had a blast and I was reminded of all the sweet memories I had of gram in my classroom. </div>

My grandma also always made stockings for my students at Christmas time. This year, my mom and I made the stockings. I'll forever be reminded of the kind-hearted person that gram was. She just loved watching the kids' faces light up when she walked in with all those stockings! I think my mom enjoyed it just as much this year. This is just one of the memories of gram I'll always hold dear to my heart.</div>

Can you believe I'm blogging on a Monday? More importantly, can you believe there are only four days left until Christmas vacation? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you still looking for cute {inexpensive} parent gift ideas? </div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to very quickly share what I've come up with this year! </div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was perusing Pinterest last week, I saw some adorable holiday cards. I was quickly inspired! I decided to turn one of the cards into a tile. The best part is the tiles only cost 16 cents at Home Depot! I got enough for my entire class for under $4.00! </div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only other supplies you will need are puffy paint, glitter glue, and a black paint pen. I already had all of these on hand...which made it even better!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kiddos wrote Merry Christmas, their name, and the year with the paint pen. I drew the squiggly line, and the kids painted their fingers to make fingerprints as the lights. We added a tiny bit of glitter glue to the top of each light. Easy-peasy!</div>

Hello Saturday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been one crazy, busy, fun week! We had rainy day schedules, colder weather, and a visitor from The North Pole! Yes, the big guy at The North Pole decided to send one of his cute lil' helpers to room 16, to help promote positive classroom behavior during this holiday season! He might cause a little mischief and have some fun while he's at it:). Meet Snowflake, our classroom elf!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He arrived from The North Pole on Monday. I<strike> may have</strike> stuck him in the freezer and froze him over night:). If he was coming from The North Pole, the box had to be cold, right:)?!</div>
<br />

The kiddos were filled with excitement when they saw this box sitting in the middle of our classroom Monday morning. They were even more excited when they found out it had come all the way from The North Pole!</div>

Yes, by Thursday, Snowflake needed chocolate as much as the teacher did:). It looks like our elf loves taking "elfies," I mean selfies, too!</div>

We spent some time learning about reindeer this week! No, not Santa's reindeer. I have this cute reindeer craft to share with you! I did, however, forget to take pictures of our reindeer books and reports. It was a busy week:).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The Christmas season is upon us! As much as I LOVE the holiday season, this year has been different. As most of you know, my grandma passed away a few months ago. So, I've spent some time trying to figure out what the new "normal" is, or is going to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Last Saturday, I woke up ready to decorate my house for Christmas {yes, before Thanksgiving-I know some of you are cringing}. As I finished all of the decorations, I looked around and realized that none of it made me happy. I wondered, what could be wrong? My Christmas decorations always make me happy. I sat on it for a day or two. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday evening came around, and I told the hubby I wanted to re-decorate the entire house. You can imagine the look I got. I explained to him that my Christmas decorations were too loud and too happy. I just didn't feel happy. His response: "So, you want to decorate the house to be a sad house?" <insert my eye roll and sigh of frustration here> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In case you are wondering what too loud and too happy looks like:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Monday morning I got to work on re-decorating the entire house. I was hoping for something a little less flashy. Something more traditional. Gram's favorite color was red, so I decided to incorporate some pops of red throughout the house. Here's what I ended up with!</span></div>

Tuesday evening, the hubby came home from work and said, "Wow, this is a totally different feel this year; this is nice." <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I think he finally understood what I meant by too loud and too happy. He must be a visual learner, like me:).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The hubby was right about one thing: there is no decoration, or ornament, or present that is going to fill this void this year. It is a season of change. I added these angel wings to my tree to remind me I will always have a beautiful guardian angel watching over me from heaven. </span></div>

Ok. We did it. We finally gave in to the artificial tree this year. No more Christmas tree mess! I don't know about you, but I hate cleaning up all those dried pine needles. I will miss the smell of a freshly cut tree. I guess that's what scented candles are for. I'm loving how my tree came out this year! It's not bright and whimsical like years past, but it's perfect.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">As I stood back looking at my tree, I could hear gram saying, "It's beautiful, I don't know where you got your creativity from, it certainly wasn't me." She would always tell me that after I finished decorating for the holidays. The truth is, all the decorating her and my mom did when I was a kid is probably where my love of decorating came from. Christmas has always been one of the happiest times of the year.</span></div>

I apologize if you were expecting five awesome December classroom activities. This teacher has been on vacation! Well, I may have created a thing (or two) this week. Stay tuned next week for lots of December fun! We have a visitor from The North Pole who will be visiting room 16!</div>

I have some exciting news! I was connected with a company that made a VERY generous donation to each of the students' families in my class. Each family will be receiving a fully cooked Thanksgiving dinner. I work at a Title 1 school, so this donation will be greatly appreciated by the families. To say thank you to our donors, I had the kiddos create thank you cards. I didn't help them with the cards (which, you all know, was very hard-I'm kind of a perfectionist)....all first grader created:)!</div>

Ok, so, I'm sure I wasn't the only teacher whose kiddos needed a little bit of extra motivation, to remember the classroom expectations this week! What is it about the week before vacation that makes everyone go crazy:)?! So, I came up with this lil' turkey. Each time the kiddos were doing what was expected, being respectful, and responsible, they earned a feather for the turkey. They had to earn a total of 15 feathers to fill the turkey this week (to earn a popcorn party).</div>

Unfortunely, the kiddos didn't earn the party this week. Sad, I know. They were 4 feathers short of earning a popcorn party. No, I didn't give in. I'm mean, I know. Not really:-). Hopefully, it's a lesson learned for next time:).</div>

I have a confession. I am OBSESSED with Christmas decorations. If it was up to me, my house would be a winter wonderland by November 1st! After all, I have fall decor up for 2-3 months. The Christmas season is just way too short. So, what did I do after school today? I started the holiday transformation! The holiday books came out, a long with <strike>some</strike> a lot of decorating! Here is my door:</div>

Guess who will be making his great debut from The North Pole, on December 1st? Yes, our classroom elf, straight from The North Pole:). <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-Ef-Visits-The-Classroom-and-other-holiday-activities-1528680" target="_blank">Here is a pack</a> I created to accompany any lil' visitor from The North Pole. It includes a journal, to document all the mischievious things your little visitor will do, several writing pages and prompts, graphic organizers, and a couple of math and language arts printables. Stay tuned for a month of elf mischief!<br>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I'm so excited to be apart of the 2014 Gingerbread exchange, hosted by Pawsitively Teaching. I know, you're asking, what's this gingerbread exchange about?! Click <a href="http://pawsitivelyteaching.blogspot.com/2014/11/holidays-around-blog-gingerbread-man.html" target="_blank">here</a> to read all about it. In short, I've been teamed up with 15 other teachers (in various parts of the U.S) and we are exchanging gingerbread men and letters with our classrooms. So much fun! Here's what we've done so far:</span></div>

Gobble gobble...time for verbs! The kids thought my drawing was hilarious (which is why I'm sharing it). I'm a first grade teacher, not an artist. I tried:). Hopefully I'll have some fun verb activities to share with you next week. This was a short week:).</div>

I also finished up my newest creation this week! With all the excitement of the gingerbread exchange, my kiddos are going to LOVE these activities! If you're interested, take a look<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gingerbread-Man-Literacy-Math-Activities-1550562" target="_blank"> here</a>. It's filled with several math and literacy activities. I've also created a family-home project that is also included in this pack.</div>

Sniffle, cough, sneeze. It's that time of the year. I may not have much of a voice...but I made it! No substitute. Just a teacher with no voice most of the week. We all know it's much easier to go to work than plan for a sub:). I got through the week on a bag of cough drops and some airborne. I'll have four days to recover now. Yes, a four day weekend for me!! Yippee! Can you tell I'm just a little bit excited:)?</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We began the transition from Halloween decor to Thanksgiving this week! I'm secretly excited (shhh...don't tell my firsties). I'm not really into the bats and spider decor. So...turkeys it is! Aren't these adorable?! They are so full of personality. Although each kiddo had the same turkey parts, they seemed to put them together just a little different. We also did some turkey themed writing. I wasn't sure if the kiddos were going to finish the writing this week. It was one of "those weeks" {sigh..}. I know all of you teachers out there can relate. I'm blaming the Halloween candy:-). But, any-hoo...we got our writing done!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This month is "responsibility" month at our school! Next week, we are having a door decorating contest. With it only being a three day week, I decided we better get it done this week. Did I mention I have a four day weekend:)? I really wanted to touch on Veteran's Day with my students, so I decided to incorporate it into our door decorations! I love how our door turned out! We are responsible lil' soldiers! I don't have a handy dandy template to share with you. I just cut everything out by hand...tracing random bowls and cups around my room for sizing. </span></div>

It's a big change from what they are used to doing. Unfortunately, our current math curriculum doesn't always meet the needs of all my students. So, I created this pack to help more of my students become successful. Click<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ZXDbDaDEL6OWpsVFg0TWNHc0E/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"> here</a> for some freebie pages from this pack.
