Junie B. Jones

I love Junie B. Jones. Really. If she were a kid in my class, she would drive me crazy, but I would love her. I actually have had a few Junie B.'s in my class over the years and they tend to be some of my most favorite students. Because they're funny. And real. And they make me laugh. Now. I get it. Not everyone is a fan of Junie B. And I'm not here to persuade you ... Read More about Junie B. Jones

Five for Frunday

It's Five for Frunday! I just made that up. I can do that. "I like butterflies. Are they realy made of butter? . . . I know there not it's just funny."

None of that happened. I did get ... Read More about Talk About It Tuesday

Musical Math

Apparently, I'm all about math this weekend. Let me tell you a secret. I struggle when I teach math. I do. It doesn't come easy to me. It's just not natural for me. I don't have a math brain. I don't think in numbers, ever. Make a ten? Nope. Why? I'll just add it the long way. Think addition to subtract? Nah. Why? I'll just use my fingers. I'm not kidding. I'm keeping it ...

Five for Fraturday

Happy Saturday!!!!! As always, I looked at the pictures on my phone this morning to see which five I wanted to choose for this week's installment of Five for Fraturday. And there weren't any pictures. Of any kind. Not even of Murphie. I KNOW! So I said to myself Self, what the heck happened this week? And I have to say . . . It was just a busy, routine, regular, we are in ... Read More about Five for Fraturday
