Is it Spring Break yet?!?

Happy Monday! 

This is my last week before Spring Break/Easter and I am soooo looking forward to the break!  

I am starting to see the finish line for this school year and with that come a lot of emotions and some slight anxiety.  I am handing out report cards today from 3rd quarter which means 4th quarter has already began.  I cannot believe how quickly this school year has passed.  Only 38 more school days and I have officially survived my first year of teaching.  

I have been incredibly blessed this year and so thankful for the opportunity I have had to teach in a Christian School.  Thankfully no horror stories yet from my first year of teaching.  I know some of you veteran teachers out there may have some stories.

Anyway, I have a fun Easter math activity to share with you:

This was from Pinterest steal and it was such a clever and easy math center to create.  Plus my kids love it.  We are currently multiplying up to 3 and dividing by 0, 1, & 2

I also made addition and subtraction up to 10 for my Kinder friend Mrs. Platts!   

She has a very fancy blog you should definitely check out at:

Isn't my Mom sweet!? She bought me this book and stuffed Horton for my classroom.  Love it!

 I hope you all have a blessed week and for those already on Spring Break enjoy it!

 

Things just got better....

I wanted to share one of my favorite signs that I have posted in my room.  It is a sign that was posted in one of the classrooms I student taught in and I just really thought it was meaningful.  

In teaching one of the most valuable things I have learned is how important it is to build relationships with your students.  It does not take much to win the young ones over either. :)  I think any time you can make your students feel important and valued they will respect you as their teacher and love you.  

Even when this sign catches my eye it helps me to remember to take the time to enjoy my class and remember that my time with them is limited.  I only have a short amount of time to impact their lives each day and encourage them.  I want them to know they are all very special to me.  

This reminds me of this quote from the movie "The Help"
