7 Habits....

My..oh..my!! I am doing cart wheels about my newest discovery!!!
 
The seven habits for happy kids.... My district (blah, blah, blah!) Let's skip that and just say I think it will make for Happier kids, happier class, and most of all happier teacher! Can I get a woot woot? Nothing better... Not only will every one be happier these are life long skills to make their lives better.  DUN-DUN-DU-DUN (or fill in your best super hero noise here) Ms. B to the rescue saving the world one first grader at a time!

Can I just say that I am new blogger and it is a tough start. I've been reading like a billion-million-trillion blogs as "research" (AKA slackfest 2013) and I don't know how ya'll do it! I am struggling that is fo-sho! I need all the help/advice I can get on making things pretty and linking things appropriately. Oh well it will come with time. Since this is pretty much for practice until the new school year arrives I will just keep practicing! 

Okay... off to save the world or research.... or something!

Stay Beautiful :)

Excitement!

Well... I am having trouble containing my excitement for next year. So, in order to get a jump start, I have been READING everything I can get my hands on. Daily 5, CAFE, Van de Walle, and common core documents. Oh- and Harry Wong's "First Days of School" which I am in LOVE with.
  

This week is also a PD week for me. I get to spend a whole day studying reading with all the first grade teachers in my district. Then on Friday, I'll be spending a half day studying math. I am ready to get my nerd on!
