It felt like forever that this linky was gone, but really it was just the month of July.I've been dying to share a few of these things!I've reached a few major milestones this past week...I forgot to snap a picture at 100 but I thought this would be close enough!

LOVE Book Talk Thursdays!

I could seriously talk about books all.day.long. I spend a lot of time reading and I always have, even as a little girl. Books can take you to so many wonderful places, lands, fantasies etc. My mind goes right into the book and provides the right amount of escape for me. It's almost like a mini vacation from reality. I often find myself getting attached to characters which is why I think I enjoy reading books in a series, so that I don't have to say good bye to the characters I ... Read the Post

No Name? I have the answer! Monday Made It!

I'm linking up AGAIN this week with 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It. I really love this linky!I don't know what's up with me but I have been a crafting machine lately!

Check out Mrs. Bainbridge's Class for more info on how to link up!So, what do I have that my students love?!They go crazy for this clip chart in my room made by 3rd Grade a Hoot:I think they love it so much because of the jewels they get when they get to "Outstanding". When ... Read the Post

I was going to write about my teachery monday made it first but I am just too darn excited about this that I have to share!In a previous blog post I shared this pin:I was so inspired by it that I decided we should do this too! So I showed my hubby the picture and asked if he would help me build this (read "you build, I supervise"). My hubby ... Read the Post

My Favourite Writing Pins!!

I'm linking up with Ashley from Just Reed for her 10 Pin Linky! This week the theme is writing. I'm always looking for new and useful ideas to support my writing program...especially since my school's success plan is about writing.1. I think this is my favourite one! We tried doing boards like this in my planning group this past year and it worked out great for the students. I really like the set up of this board though2. I like this one because I'm working on giving ... Read the Post
