sleepy post

I am "Friday Tired" (that's what I call the state of teacher exhaustion after a long week) but I wanted to go ahead and post a peek at my newest posters.  I just added them to my Teachers Pay Teachers store.  Now I am off to bed.  First Grade Glitter and Giggles and I have acquired some awesome new graphics, so there are lots of ideas spinning in my head for new creations.  Can't wait to work on that tomorrow!  Toodles blog world!

The Hunger Games take a back seat to blogging...for a minute

OK, so who else is reading The Hunger Games series?  I started it today and can hardly stand to put it down.  Thanks to my assistant principal for bringing me his copy of the first book that is missing the front and back cover, (his 18 month old son was a fan too I guess) I am already an addict.  I did have time to make these multiplication and division signs for those of you lovelies that have been requesting them.   You can get them HERE in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store.  I really appreciate all of the positive feedback and comments I have received and am so excited about all of the wonderfully talented and creative teachers I have "met" via blogging.  I am loving every minute of it!   Anyway,  here is a preview of the signs.  I'm off to read a little more before bed.  Toodles!

Just a Quick Note...

I know it is Management Monday, but I was in desperate need of some help for my thirdsters that seem to be struggling with unlocking the code in math story problems.  We have gone over and over key words but I realize that they need them posted so they can see them everyday and really internalize them.  Of course if I am going to post them in my room they have to match my decor so I made these and am planning on taking them to STAPLES and having them enlarged to poster size.  They will be posted in my TPT store in a jiffy.  Multiplication and Division coming soon! Toodles!

Scrap Happy Place Value Banner

So since I am going to be teaching thirdsters this year I'm getting a little higher in the place value realm.  I am seriously obsessed with banners right now so I decided to create a place value banner for my babies.  Easy peasy!   I just used scrapbook paper cut into triangles.  I printed out the wording in a cute font and drew a border around it. Cut them out and glued them to the triangles.   Then I stapled (I was out of double sided tape) the cute ribbon to the top.  You can't even see the staples so it worked out great.  Plus it folds up very easily.  My next goal is to create a "Gallon Man" out of scrapbook paper.  Here is a look at my newest banner!  Love it!  Oh the things that make this teacher happy!
