Pen pals

School is around the corner.  Thankfully, my district has a longer summer this year and we go back on August 19th (usually its the 5th). I found a great blogger who pairs your class up with pen pals. How great is that!? I have never had pen pals for my kiddos, but I know it would help with their writing! Being new at blogging, I'm not sure how to use her cute button (I promise I'll get better) but here is the site- http://teacherideafactory.blogspot.ca/2013/07/pen-pal-pair-up-2013-need-partner.html?m=1.   

Summer Boredom

I have been so bored this summer. It's definitely a different kind of summer with an infant in tow. He's the sweetest thing ever though 💜. I have been looking at blogs lately and I'm going to try to keep up with mine. It'll be easier I hope once school starts because ill have something to talk about and pictures to show. I recently got a Cricut, so I'm trying to find things to make for my class with it. I have decided on a new Accelerated Reader board- island hopping for reading. I'm going to have the four major islands along the MS coast ( for 25, 50, 75, and 100% of their reading goals) and put the kids' faces on sailboats. Ill post pictures soon, but for now here is a picture of my sweet Cooper Baye (6months now)!
