It is that time of year again....testing
season!! Yippee! Can you tell I can hardly contain myself? (Hint of sarcasm) I start testing a week after Spring Break which
means it is crunch time, baby. As I
planned for this next week I wanted to focus on all of the major tested skills: character, plot, text features, cause and effect,
the list goes on and on. I have discovered
that I have very little when it comes to cause and effect. Over break I tried madly to create a little
something. It was quiet difficult while
trying to entertain four kiddos who want and need my undivided attention. At this very moment I have a five year old quizzing
me on addition facts while rocking a baby to sleep. Who knew I could type, add, and rockabye at
the same time…I have talent. To my amazement
I have created a fun cause and effect packet!
I have provided a link to a freebie.
The students in my classroom absolutely LOVE Knock Your Block Off. I have created one for just about every
subject. They could play it for hours if
I let them. Hope you enjoy. I am finishing up the final touches to the
Cause and Effect Fun, but it should be ready in the next day or soJ

I can't believe that March is already
here! This means that not only is testing season here, but that my sweet baby
Edyn is turning 1...oh my! (wiping tears). I am not new to first birthdays as I
have four kiddos, but I still get teary eyed at the idea of my littlest getting
bigger. If only there was a way to bottle her sweetness up. She is just a joy!
Ever since birth she has made silly growling sounds. We call her our little
monster. It is simply hilarious to hear this dainty little girl making such
funny noises. She still growls, but now it is on cue and she expects laughter.
I absolutely love her warm breath in my ear as she snuggles close and her yummy
baby smell. Can you tell I simply adore her?
Well enough gushing over Edyn and
back to business! I have created a March Math activity to help prepare for
assessments since it IS that season...ugh. My students love to play this game
and I think your kiddos will too. It helps solidify the data words: median,
mode, range, minimum, and maximum. Those
words are difficult for the kids to figure out for some reason. This activity includes a poster to hang up during
center time as a visual.
Enjoy and happy teaching!
