Loving
One thing I am looking forward to this month is a little getaway we are taking to celebrate my husband’s birthday.  
Thinking
I have been scouring Pinterest and the internet to find new project ideas for Mother’s Day.  What are you all making this year? 
Wanting/Needing
In a dream world, I would get a full day (without students) to get completely caught up on some projects that have been put to the bottom of the priority list.  Then, I would take another full day to get my crafty fix with scrapbooking.
Summer Bucket List
Family Adventures – Now that my daughter is 2, I want to take her on some little adventures and mini field trips (zoo, aquarium, etc.). 
Common Core – Next year we go into full implementation even though our curriculum does not align very well.  I want to become more aware of each standard and what it really looks like at second grade.  Not to mention my grade level team is putting together some resource binders for next year, too.  Thank goodness for a team with a common goal!!
Book Study – I loved doing the online book study for Guided Math last summer.  I’m interested in doing another one, but not really sure which path I want to travel down as far as topic.  Anyone planning or thinking about an online book study, too?
My happy thought for the day…30.5 school days to go and  yes, I am counting down!!
Thank you so much to Patty for helping me proof this one.  This is a 40+ page file on rounding.  Rounding to the nearest 10 and 100 is in the 3rd grade common core, but my second graders still have to successfully complete ballpark estimates as part of our math curriculum.  If you are looking for some extra rounding practice, click on the picture below.  This will be on sale for the next few days, too!  Hop on over and check it out 🙂

    Love me some Voice too! Maybe have a slight crush on Adam! We went hard core with common core this year. It is SO much better…much more challenging for the kiddos but they have become amazing little independent thinkers! Jump in…you'll love it! Found you over at Farleys!

    I am joining a Book Whisperer book study. I love the book and can't wait to reread it and find ways to apply it to my Kindergarten class. We are starting mid-June.

If you’re starting 2021 by making resolutions and setting goals with your students, I suggest sharing Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution by Pat Miller. This book follows Squirrel around the forest as she learns what a resolution is and helps her friends get started on theirs. Swipe to see a kid craft you can pair with this story. I also have comprehension and vocabulary activities for this book. Just follow the link in my bio for more information.⁣

Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet w Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet where you live? We haven’t, but my kids are anxiously waiting. While we wait, it’s been fun to revisit our favorite snow day memories while reading Ten Ways to Hear Snow.⁣

In this story, Lina wakes up to a blanket of snow outside,  but she is supposed to help her grandma cook that day. Since Sitta is losing her eyesight, Lina rushes to bundle up and get over to her home. Lina wants to make sure her grandma is okay and knows about the snow outside. On the way, Lina explores the city muffled by snow and discovers ten different ways to hear snow. ❄️⁣

During one of the worst snow storms of the year, a little girl and her family settle in for the night. They build a fort by the fire and enjoy a picnic-style dinner. Later that night, the little girl makes a wish on her snow globe. The next morning the family wakes up to a winter wonderland outside. ⁣

“What if, ⁣

EVERYONE comes out to play?”⁣

Snow Globe Wishes has a great message about slowing down, enjoying the simple things, and bringing a community together. It would be perfect to share while getting cozy on cold, winter day!⁣

Whether you’re shopping for the holidays, a birthday, or celebrating a milestone, books make great gifts. If you still need convincing (or justifying your recent book purchases 😉), I recently shared 10 reasons why books make the best gifts on my blog. Follow the link in my bio.

In this latest book, Danny’s headed to the water park with his family. Throughout the day, he’s faced with a lot of important decisions to make. Will he be fair and kind, show empathy towards others, keep himself safe, and take responsibility for his actions? That’s up to the reader to help Danny decide! ⁣

Growing up, I loved reading choose-your-own-adventure books because it was so much fun getting to decide how the story ended. Now my own kids get to experience that same reading magic with these Power to Choose books from Ganit and Adir Levy. My kids are bound and determined to read every single one of the 9 different endings.⁣

Have you read any of the Danny or Darla books yet? If so, do you have a favorite?⁣
