Do you love the font her name is in?? I do! It is brand new and created by Fabulous in First!!

I am so thankful and blessed to have a bunch of wonderful followers! Danielle, I emailed you :)

Many of you already incorporate the Daily Five in your reading routine. I just started the book and am thinking of different ways to fit it in. I am linking up with a few other bloggy friends to discuss this wonderul book/idea of the Daily Five. There will be freebies and linky parties! The first one starts next week! If you want to follow along, here are some fridge calendars for you :)

You might be wondering where my name is! Click on the picture and it will take you to a printable June and July calendar. My name is in July :)

You can follow all of us! Here are all the bloggers that are involved:

I can't wait until we start posting! Look for lots of good discussion that you can link up with at a Linky Party and a freebie from all of us!

One more thing... Click the picture to get a bookmark that reminds you who is linking up with what chapter!! Thanks to Nicole at Teaching with Style for creating it :)

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Thought the title was fitting to go along with Junie B. (ya know she is afraid of roosters... I know I am cheesy!) Anyway, here are the winners from the giveaway! I have already emailed you your prize!

I have a winner... and am exhausted!

First off I have a winner for my Eric Carle study.
Congrats to:

Thank you all for participating in my first giveaway! If you didn't win you can always check out my unit at my TpT store! Mrs. Nunley please email me at laura.davis1284@gmail.com to collect your prize!

Anyway, I don't know about ya'll but V-Day is exhausting! We had an ice cream sundae party (which was delicious) and the kids were crazy all day! I am just so glad it is over!! LOL
My hubby got me a Nook- which my 6 year old is playing now...ha! Forgot to put meat out for dinner--hoping we can squeeze into outback for some deliciousness! Hope your day was a fun as mine!

Really... an Award!!!

I am so excited to share this post tonight! One of my newest followers, Mrs. Smyth, at New Adventures in First Grade has awarded me with the Versatile Blogger Award. Thank you so much Mrs. Smyth! I am so excited to share this award with others!

Here are some criteria for this award:
1. Thank the person who presented the award to you and link back to them.
Not only am I excited to get the award from a follower, I have now become a follower of Mrs. Smyth! It is always exciting to find a new blog!

2. Tell seven things about yourself.

*This is my 3rd year teaching first grade and this has been my favorite year! My kids are so bright this year and thoroughly enjoy learning!

*I have a weakness for chocolate. It is bad! Even my students know and will bring me goodies :)

*I am in the middle of getting my masters in Math Education. All I have left are a few math classes and a few Praxis tests to pass. I am excited because I will be certified to teach K-12 (7-12 Math). Of course, 7-12 is a big jump from first but it might be something worth looking into later on in my career.

*I have a Kindergartener who is hilarious! We were cleaning out his backpack tonight and on Monday he is required to bring in something from home that starts with an "a". I asked him what he wanted to bring and he said, "Addison" (his little sister!). We had to settle on a picture but I thought that was so sweet!

*Over break I got to actually read a book for pleasure! It was amazing... I mean the book wasn't anything but fluff; but it was amazing to have time to "waste" on fluff! By the way, it was "I Don't Know How She Does It". It was cute for anyone looking for some fluff to read :)

*My New Year's Resolution is to make it to the gym a couple times a week (still haven't started that). This week I am going.. I swear! I am hoping my stars will align and the Y on the way home from school will conveniently have a Yoga class right at the time I pass it...We shall see!

*My long-term career goals include becoming some kind of academic coach outside the classroom, preferably a numeracy coach. I thoroughly enjoy teaching math and creating my lessons so I think this would be a perfect combination!

3. Pass this onto 15 newly discovered blogs and let them know they've received the award.
