A World of Weather unit & Pinterest find...

Hurray!  I finally finished the weather unit that I started over Christmas break.  I had high hopes that I would kick it out and share with the world.... then, I went back to school and the real world set in.  Basically, I worked on it, as my students were learning the material (at least I know it all works!).  All of the experiments, crafts, and ideas have all been used in my classroom between last year and this year.  I just fancied it up with some cute clip art from Scrapin' Doodles :)  If you're interested, take a peak!  You can click on mt TPT link at the side of this page.

On a side note... I'm on break today and tomorrow (lame as it is, I'm happy to get 2 days).  I've already read 3 books and have developed a sore forearm from playing on Pinterest during this long weekend.  One totally cute idea I found was from Miss Kindergarten:


She originally found it on Playing with Pixie Dust (formerly Frogs, Bees Under the Seas).  The photo link on their site of this project no longer works (which is why I posted Miss Kindergarten's instead of the original).  It pays to read old blog posts over a break!  I'm totally making this next weekend.  Right now, my Kindle is feeling neglected.

  1. Hi!! I am your newest follower! I can't wait to check out your blog more. I am considering asking to go to first grade after teaching kindergarten for 8 years. I can't decide. When you have time come check out my blog.

    1. Welcome, April! I loved so many things about kindergarten and it was hard to leave. However (here's the big "BUT"), I am now so in love with first grade. We are able to explore so many things deeply and they grow so much. I was able to jump right in and start classroom culture, without explaining how to walk down the hall and where the bathroom is (and that teachers do not help you wipe!). I've also found that it has invigorated my practice. I am learning amazing new things, especially from blogs, that I can share with others. In my opinion- you win no matter what you teach :)

    Can't wait to check out your weather unit! :)
