Recipes, Visual Plans, and M 'n M fun!

(couldn't put & in the title...so now M&M looks weird! haha!)

I'm a DAY early - woo!!

Let me catch you up on a few pictures from the week....
(in case you don't follow me on instagram)

FIRST, I made THIS yummy in my tummy dessert....


Espresso Caramel Bars, compliments of one of my favorite girls...


Yep. LOVE me some Giada!!


Our Story Structure " board" for my 3 Little Pigs Unit...

AND, I found out I'm going to be in 2nd grade again next year - woo!! So I'm starting to get ready for next year....I know, I know. But i KNOW there are others out there like me! 

(yep - cheap printer! lol!)

(Yes, I'm in the middle of Kindergarten right now, and 3rd grade is next! First grade has already been posted.)


Also, on instagram, there's a #PAD going on! Join the par-tay!


yeah - that's my door....SUPER boring....it's outside. The wind, rain, and sun KILL everything I put out there, even a name tag...so no fun door for me - boo!


My Read Aloud - I just love Roald Dahl!

Remember...click the picture of the plans (or click HERE), and it'll take you to a PDF document to download...when you download the PDF, you can click on all the pictures and links to take you where you can find all the activities (TpT, blogposts, websites, or Freebies!)

This week, I'm still doing my 3 Little Pigs Unit....The kids were having SO much fun with this, that I'm elongating it.  PLUS, I'm going to be doing a book-writing with my class this week....BUT, I just don't know how I want to go about doing it...which is why it looks blank in my writing block. lol. I know WHAT I want to do, but I don't know HOW I want to go about doing it yet - I mean I have an idea...but it's a new idea, so I want to try it out before I share it with y'all. But I'll be adding it to my pack when I'm finished with it - so make sure you grab it now, before I add more to it!!


Check out the books we've been reading/using this week!

And I've posted my newest phonics pack...if you have my other ones, it's the same, just with a new skill and new theme! Click the pic to check it out



And fore Math....I'm summing up our review and then testing on Tuesday. I just need to get it done and over with - blarg!!!

THEN, for the rest of the week, we're going to be having fun with M&MS!

I was "making pretty" the m&m activities I've always done (it's amazing how you can't look at anything pre-clipart/creating days and NOT want to redo it anymore...lol!)
...and since my hubs was at an auction, and I was home with the girls...I felt like it was the best time to catch up on a few shows while creating! (any other Psych fans!?)...And I finished it and it turned into this.....


(Click the pics to check it out!)

This week, we're doing different version of Three Little Pigs - I LOVE the MANY different versions there are! The kids are always amazed there are more than one version - ha!


We're going to be using my 3 Little Pigs pack, and I'm going to be adding more to it, because I just got a new idea to do....BUT first, I want to work it out with my kids to see what and how I want to do it.

May Linky and 3 Pigs Winner!

Short and sweet tonight - I'm gonna try and catch up on my DVR shows and blog posts - I know - what a wild life I lead on a Friday night! ha!!


My brain is finally relaxed enough to think about my pageant title, so I can link up to Farley's May Linky!


I'm loving that I'm in 2nd grade again next year!! BUT, and this is a BIG BUT - not only am I losing one of my great friends (remember the surprise party??), BUT my admin is also moving my other favorite person I work with to THIRD!!! waaaaa!!! All I can hope is that the AC teacher comes back to 2nd - bc she's great too!! (Yes, I'm talking about you Melissa!!)
 I had THE BEST team this year. I'm so sad...

Thankfully, my "needing" MAY get fixed tomorrow - IF we make it back from Sea World in time...it's a GNO on Cinco de Mayo - woop woop! Already told hubs that I claim Saturday night - so NO going to auctions for him.

And my pageant title??

Yeah - I wake up and I'm ready to go! lol...yes, I DO need a cup of coffee, but I'm tellin' ya, it's like I have B6 in my veins...lol. But I've also realized that if all I do is lay around, then that's all I'll do...though sometimes, I WISH I could just sit - ha!!

In other news, 

I ACTUALLY finished my Cinderella unit!!  It's not uploaded yet, but it WILL be there for the sale!!



And thank you, thank you, thank you for all that "entered" the giveaway!! And I am LOVING all the people who have linked up to my linky - and they still are!! Sorry it's taken me a while to get around to everyone - this week, there just have NOT been enough hours in the day!! But I'm finding some GREAT ideas for Word Wall Activities!!

Laura from Peace, Love, and First Grade!
