<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Living in Houston for 3 years I had always heard of cascarones but I never had made them! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We bought them at the grocery store last year and had a lot of fun with my family over Easter weekend 2019! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I tried making my own and I had everything I needed to make from home! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and tissue paper or construction paper to make </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">homemade eco-friendly confetti!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was also able to use all the innards of the eggs for all the recipes I made throughout the week... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">...chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, carrot cake, dog treats and dog cake. I learned that 1 egg is 1/4 of a cup- so when I measured out eggs it was easy! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I gave in and bought myself computer glasses. They protect my eyes from the blue light that the computer gives. I am now on my computer from 7:30am - 3:45pm (with a lunch break of course) I found myself that first week feeling lethargic and always on the verge of a headache. I had one last Tuesday that caused nausea and caused me to throw up. I have not had any of those episodes since getting these glasses. They help so much. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I got Rosie 5 years ago April 3...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I went to the Humane Society (for the 4th time since December) and I was looking for a blonde/golden haired male dog that I wanted to name Whitman- I will still have a Whit one day- and this girl called out to me. She was found on the streets near 69th and Blondo on Wednesday April 1, she was taken in - spayed and given all her shots and was on the floor Friday around 1pm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had just gotten out of professional development in Bennington and I didn't want to go home, it was Good Friday, it was the first Easter without my brother- who passed away the previous September and all my friends were out of town for the weekend. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted to go anywhere but my lonely apartment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I went to the Humane Society and found the love of my life, the complete opposite of what I wanted to adopt. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">...but she spoke to me. We were both lonely souls that had a hole to fill. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">she. rescued. me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The picture of her in the passenger seat of my car is my FAVORITE picture of her. She looks so joyful, she didn't know what spoiled life was ahead of her. She because my world!! I bake for her, I paint her nails, and I always make sure she has a scarf and pearls on. She takes really good care of me and I love her so much! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am on a website in my community called "Buy Nothing" I have gotten some really neat items off of it and am so grateful of what I have received for free out of the goodness of their hearts! I always make sure I give as much as I receive as to keep the giving going! Whats really neat about this group is, that you don't get it if you comment first. The person giving away the item will choose someone within 24 hours. You may not write "interested" or "in line" you have to write <i>why</i> you want it and/or <i>how</i> you will use it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Someone commented that they wanted to give away a bread machine and I commented that would be interested in it as a newly married women with a new home and new hubby to bake and cook for! He told me how growing up his mom always made him cinnamon raisin bread, so I wanted to have that around for him! Turns out, the person who posted it gave it to someone else, which is a-okay!! Its then that I got a pm from someone I had previously sold dog scarves too, she said she had one that she was willing to give away because she was not using it! I was SO EXCITED!!!! I picked the bread machine up around 5 pm and cleaned it and made bread THAT NIGHT!!! I was up to 11pm (my bedtime is around 8:30pm) and the house smelled GLORIOUS!!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Below you can see my helper in the kitchen! You can never move too fast in our kitchen or a paw or tail will get stepped on! Oscar is pulling the late night hours with me baking! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In between Seasons I have watched a couple on the CBS app to watch the strategy and for the love of the game! I love the game but I don't think I could ever be on the game! I would not be able to handle the deceit and bugs and cold nights. I LOVE my heated blanket at night! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted to take the time and go through who I would like to see win based on past seasons I have seen... here we go...</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cast and what season they won:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Amber Mariano Winner of Season 8-</b> This was a fun season to watch. It was really cute to see Boston Robs and Ambers dating story! (They are both on Season 40) I am not sure when hidden immunity idols started, but this season did not have it so it was built on relationships. This season also only had a top 2 instead of now there is a top 3! Since I have only now seen season 8 and then the next season 23 there are SO MANY changes in between! I really think Boston Rob should have won, he had one shady move in the beginning - but thats the outplay portion...right?! Amber won- even though she kept saying she was in the top 2 by "luck". She said it about 3 times when the Tribal Counsel was questioning her. The jury was also torn by a 4-3 vote..so Boston Rob was so close to winning! Well now they are married with 4 kids... and they both won a car in the season, so they are doing pretty well for themselves!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Sandra Diaz-Twine Winner of Seasons 7 and 20</b>- I watched Season 20 and this was such a fun season! I was a fan of Jerri!! This season was Villains vs. Heroes and was so much fun to watch. They compiled heroes and villains from past seasons and they were all on a team together! Even though I have only seen one season before 20- a lot of these players have also been on the newer seasons- which is how I knew them! It was so much fun to see past players. Sandra played a lot of people. Whenever there was a chance to sit out of an award or an immunity challenge she always opted to sit out which I think was good strategy on her part- they could never blame a loss on her! She definitely had the Outwit and Outplay portion of her game down! She was so strong, and she calls herself the QUEEN! You go Sandra!! She is one I am rooting for...but not as much as Ben and Denise who I would LOVE to see win!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Parvati Shallow Winner of Season 16</b>- Currently watching this season.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Kim Spradlin- Wolfe Winner of Season 24-</b> Kim deserved to win this season. She never backstabbed. She was the kindest, sweetest player and everyone trusted her. Two groups of people thought that she was in alliance with her and she kept it up without each other group knowing. She played one of the cleanest games! I would love to see her win Season 40!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Rob Mariano "Boston Rob" Winner of Season 22-</b> I haven't seen Season 22, but he was in the top 2 with his girlfriend (now wife) in Season 8 and I absolutely loved him! He lost to a 4-3 vote. Cheering for him also!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Sophie Clarke Winner of Season 23</b>- This was a fun season to watch but I was not impressed with the top 3. I guess Sophie was strategic but she really turned me off at an immunity challenge when her cards fell and she yelled at Albert "Come over here and pick these up for me, you are not going to win anyway" Eeekk..bossy pants, Jeff had to step in and say that there were no helpers in challenges and she didn't win the challenge anyway. I think Coach should have won this season. He was a returning player that made it to the end. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Denise Stapley Winner of Season 25</b>- I love her positivity and resilience! She is a great listener and awesome game player. She does not rush to decisions but tries to see all aspects. She got along with everyone. She was so deserving to win season 40!!! I am her biggest cheerleader! GO DENISE!!!! (....and she is a midwestern girl! Iowa! She would be so cool to meet!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Tyson Apostol Winner of Season 27</b>- This was a great season of strategy. Each player of a previous season brought a loved one. The season was titled Blood vs Water. I had a soft spot for the Culpeppers. Tyson I felt was sneaky, a glutton, and a little bit of a bully. He did not play his idols strategically. The comment that really turned me off from him- was as someone got voted off he whispered in their ear "There is a spot in the gallery for you" Really put a knife in her back. I am not a fan of his gameplay and was disappointed when he won. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Anthony (Tony) Vlahos Winner of Season 28- </b>Tony was an extremely strategic, paranoid player. He always thought he was on the chopping block, he always seemed to find the hidden immunity idols, and he made so many promises, promising on his dead family graves or on his wife and daughter. He broke a lot of promises and constantly broke his alliance agreements. He won because he was up against Woo who followed him like a loyal puppy the whole time. Woo had no strategy, so of the 2, Tony was the winner. He was fun to watch because he was so paranoid, I don't think he slept and he was always the "talker". Not one of my favorite winners, but would like to see him win over Tyson and Wendell. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Natalie Anderson Winner of Season 29</b>- She played a great season! She is a twin and her sister got voted off in the first episode. You could tell she really grew as a person during this season. She was a strong woman who had really good strategy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Michele Fitzgerald Winner of Season 32</b>- Michele kind of came out of the cracks once there were 10 players left. She was a really quiet player and I felt tagged along with who was taking charge. I am learning that those who are the leaders in the beginning get voted off right away and it is the strategic players that win. I think this season Aubrey deserved it. She really cam out of her shell. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Adam Klein Winner of Season 33</b>- I had a soft spot for him this season. He kind of stayed hidden and played behind the scenes for a while before becoming a powerhouse. I was a fan of Jay this season and he had to vote him off and I gained respect for him. He and Jay also shared a commonality of both having sick mothers. Adams mom had Stage 4 lung cancer and his and hers dream was to play together on Blood vs Water which is when she got sick. When he got his dream of playing Season 33 he played whole-heartedly for his mom! Loved that he won! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Sarah Lacina Winner of Season 34</b>- I recently finished this season because in Season 40 Sarah said that her win of Season 34 was controversial. So that made me go back and watch it. I loved her wit and her resilience. What's different about her is that she really didn't have an alliance and was always put in the position of a swing vote. She played for herself and would always vote the way that was best for her. I have respect for her game play and would like to see her progress far into the game. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Ben Driebergen Winner of Season 35</b>- I loved this season and loved his resilience!! This is the season that the fire challenge started in the final 4. He would have been voted off if it was up to the players, but I am so happy that they chose this season to have it be a competition for the third spot in the finale. I would love to see Ben win!!! He is a big advocate for military men who have PTSD. His platform is that you can overcome anything and get through anything, it just takes time and patience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Wendell Holland Winner of Season 36</b>- Wendell.is.a.JERK. I do not like how he plays, I think he was a bully, I think he was sneaky and underhanded, I did not like his game play, I cannot wait until he goes home in Season 40. I do not know how he won. I loved Sebastian and Laurel this season and do not think he deserved to win. I was very surprised when they called his name. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Nick Wilson Winner of Season 37-</b> Nick was a "David" in this "David vs. Goliath" Season. He had awesome strategy and made great alliances. I would like to see him be one of the contenders of winners in Season 40</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since we just got into Survivor 2 years ago (they do 2 seasons a year) I can't talk about all of them. But I look forward to watching past seasons to see their strategy. Its definitely interesting to see the dynamic of the tribes and how they win. Its usually not by strength, I am learning that its the wit that wins...the "outplay" as Survivor would put it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Have not seen these seasons yet...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jeremy Collins Winner of Season 31</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yup Kwon Winner of Season 13</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Danni Boatwright Winner of Season 11</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ethan Zohn Winner of Season 3</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is something new I am trying this year, Classroom BINGO! This is really fun to incorporate. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the third year that this class has been together, so day one of school they were not the timid kids that I usually experience on the first day. They loved loved loved to talk from the beginning. The past 2 weeks we have had to work on transitions without talking, cleaning up without talking and when Ms G's lips are moving, you. are. not. talking. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I brainstormed ways to get them to stop talking! Good thing for inspiring teachers on Instagram!! I found this idea, and during the Nebraska vs Colorado game (second half) I made this BINGO card. I printed off 2 copies, one copy for the BINGO board to hang and the other copy I cut up to "draw" when the students earned a square.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This has been a game changer this week. I let the students choose what the prize was, and we all agreed on an extra 15 minute recess. I allow as many squares in a day as I feel so they can always "focus on their direction". It's funny that we have so many close calls and no BINGO yet. I guess we will see if they can earn one by the end of the week! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I LOVE my class so much. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They have such kind hearts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They listen - maybe not to instructions the first time, but to the important stuff. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I teach, I want to teach the whole student, teaching them about subjects, predicates and multiplication is so important, but I want to teach them how to be kind, empathetic and compassionate. When they leave my class, I want them to be courteous, thoughtful and respectful. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I try to bring in different views from different walks of life and I am so pumped that my teachers assistant Megan feels the same way. This week we started the book <u>A Long Walk to Water</u>. It is 2 stories that take place in South Sudan when there was war in their villages in 2008 and 1985. It follows the story of Nya (2008) and Salva (1985). This has brought up so much conversation in my class about how others live around the world and how blessed we are in Omaha, Nebraska. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was a scene where Nya has to walk to get a bucket of water, and the bottom of her feet were covered in thorns. The kids stopped the reading and asked why she wasn't wearing any shoes. This was the perfect opportunity to tell the kids that shoes are something we take for granted; and that protect our feet in ways that we don't have to worry about. They were so curious and asked so many more questions. I told the kids that so many parasites and bacteria live in the soil and water in these 3rd world countries, and a simple cut on the foot would make these people very sick. This then led me to talk about TOMS shoes and their mission statement and impact on the world! The kids were all eyes on me and so engaged. I love their curiousity .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Teaching in the science house has been fun, but let me tell you....I am ready for my classroom to be built! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These animals are so neat to look at, but half of them are trying to escape and you can hear them clawing at the side of their cage, Xena the snake is shedding, and Yoshi the Leopard Gheko is nocturnal, so when he comes out there becomes a ruckus in the classroom... the list goes on...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Each morning we say good morning to all the animals!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Good Morning Marge (Bearded Dragon)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Good Morning Althea and Arturo (Turtles)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Good Morning Emery, Zander, and Rocky (Green Anoles) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Good Morning Xena (Corn Snake)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Good Morning Schmoe (Corn Snake)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Good Night Yoshi (Leopard Gecko)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and we get on with our day... I always hope...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whenever it is time to rotate math or reading stations, they take a little bit longer when the kids have to walk past all the animals on the way to the locker room (the dining room off of the living room where we are). I always have to redirect, or give in and let the kids have "animal viewing" time. This is a really neat experience for the kids and I do truly enjoy that they love looking at the animals and ask so many questions.... but sometimes I just want to teach and have all their eyes on ME! The animals are pretty cool though...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I loved stories growing up and I have always wanted to incorporate story time in my classroom. I grew up with Focus on the Family's Adventures in Odyssey (any one else out there?) I am really fond of radio stories, and listen to them when I clean and walk the pups! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Being a math teacher I have never been able to get it in my lessons.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year, teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade I am able to have them be a part of my reading stations! I want them to have something to do with their hands, so the past 2 weeks I have printed off coloring sheets for the kids. This week I decided that I needed a picture in my clear phone case. I precut the cardstock to the size of my phone case and told the kids some of my likes and dislikes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While they were listening to the podcast they colored away, and as you can see, they took this activity very seriously!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was hard to choose just one! I chose the mermaid, because it reminds me of every day on our honeymoon swimming in the Pacific! The sunflower was a close second!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Excited to do this activity again, everyone notices my super-cool phone case and always asks about it, and it opens the door for me to talk about my students!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is an example of something I implement into math stations. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Reading the ads!</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This provides SO MUCH real world math for them- and when I email their parents of things we are doing in the classroom I hope that when they see it and go shopping with their kids that they engage in conversation of prices! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was the first time exposing them to the ads, so I had them brainstorm planning a picnic and just writing down how much things cost. We had to talk about the difference between $1.25 and 79 cents. We had to have a conversation about where the decimal point goes when it is listed as cents.</span><br />

I have so many meals they will plan and different ways to manipulate the numbers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For the first week of planning a meal I will have them plan a picnic, write down all the prices and add them up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next time they see this station I will have them plan lunches for the week with 3 different options. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They will then practice rounding up to the nearest 10. Since they learn rounding in 3rd grade this may be a concept that we work on for a couple months. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With my 5th graders I may tell them how much they can spend, and what cash they will get back! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some meals they will plan over the course of the year:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A BBQ</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Taco Night</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Grilled Burgers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sunday morning Breakfast</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 different lunches for the week </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and these are just a few, I have so many more ideas! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I like including board games in my teaching. I have been teaching some games this week so they can be included in independent stations later on in the year. We have also been practicing how to rotate between stations and how to clean up and take care and be respectful of Ms G's things- all the necessary procedures to make stations work and they can learn my expectations.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are some of the reasons I use board games:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. Learning the rules helps them put their thinking caps on to strategize, or figure out ways to score points.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. Board games are about strategizing and planning ahead. Not only do they have to focus on their moves, but they also have to focus on their opponents and the moves they are making.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3. Some games require them to think and make decisions quickly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4. Logic, reasoning, and problem solving are major components of the board games I include. This is helpful in academics and when they get older, in the work place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5. Board games also help them work with others, be on teams, and make collective decisions.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shapes Up is a great problem solving game, the rules are easy to learn and I was able to teach the kids pretty fast. I bought 2 sets of this game in case we have a game day- which is something they can earn through Class Bingo ( I will have a post on this in the future!) , I can have more groups playing. There can be 2-4 players which is nice for different size of groups during stations.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The game is about $20 on Amazon, and a great resource in the classroom!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think one of my favorite times of the day is reading to my kids! I love that I have all their attention, they sit around me, I love making voices while reading, and I love seeing the emotion on their faces! It has happened twice now, that when I show the book that I am going to read, some of the kids say, "this is one of my favorites" or "we read this one a lot at home". Warms my heart that they are still being read too in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade! Here are 2 of the books that were bought off my <a href="https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2LBX1EIIADYXN?ref_=wl_share" target="_blank">#clearthelist</a> . Thank you so much for supporting my classroom! :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This first book, <u>We don't eat our Classmates</u> was such a fun read! My kids got such a good laugh at it, and I also read it to my husband at home and we both had a good chuckle.</span></div>

This was a perfect story to talk about appreciating differences in all of us. Once you accept yourself and who you are, is the day you begin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a fun story to read at the beginning of the school year. I love that all my students were engaged and gave input at the end- some were able to share stories of when they felt like they did not belong. Its nice to hear them be so vulnerable and open, and for the other kids to embrace the differences and hardships.</div>

This was a really neat activity! I am going to try and do a STEM team builder each Friday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is how I set up this activity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I built this tower in a place where the class could not see</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I split the class into groups of 4 and each kid had a specific job</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. The <b>toucher</b>, they are the only student in the group who could build the structure</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. The <b>see-er</b>. This student is the only one who could look at the structure and come back to the group and gesture or point to what/how the structure works.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. The <b>talker to students</b>. This student could only talk to other students</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. The <b>talker to the teacher.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seems easy enough right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the catch- not everyone got the right amount of materials. I gave some groups all paper and no cups, or I gave some groups more than enough cups but no paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is where the talker to the students comes in to play, but they had to take the "toucher" with them so they could get the cups!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The job my students had the most trouble with was the "see-er" They were able to see the tower but they could not come back and tell the group! They had to gesture and point and the talker had to translate it to the toucher.... this was so much fun to watch! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They worked on patience and communication skills! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the groups got it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They asked to do it again- so I had my trusty teachers assistant set it up!</div>

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!</div>

WOW!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have taught middle school math and science for 10 years and wanted to try something new this year! I took a job at Legacy Primary teaching the Multi-Age Class which consists of 3rd-5th grades! I started to buy things for my new classroom, Amazon was at our house daily, but after a move from Kansas, planning a wedding, buying a house in Nebraska, and going on a honeymoon I was limited in some of the things I wanted to do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thats when I learned about a Texas teacher who started the movement #clearthelist to get help from others for their classroom. I thought I would give it a try, given that I am starting from scratch and I could only put so much towards my new classroom. I never thought I would get so much help! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
People are so generous and thoughtful and I love that I have a support group that helps support me! I am grateful and humbled at all the people who donated to my classroom!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Thank you to The Bingham family, The Campbell family, The Matland Family, Dawn Carlos, Karen Massie, Marla Alberts, Janice Campbell, and Tammi Westergard!!!</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They actually listen....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sometimes being a teacher I feel like I say one direction multiple times, and it feels like herding cats... but kids listen when we least expect it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have a jar of cashews on my desk, its a pretty big jar- Cost-Co size, and I had a student ask me why I had such a big jar. I responded that I always forget to eat breakfast and I always get the reminder in the most inopportune time, so it really easy to grab a handful of cashews to fulfill my hunger. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next day, another student, not the one who asked me the question, brought me in a mixture of Fruity Pebbles and Cheerios. When I asked her why she brought me the unique concoction, she told me that she wanted me to have breakfast so we could have a good day of learning!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What an act of compassion</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She overheard a conversation and thought of me the next morning when she was eating breakfast, and she thought, "hey, I should make Ms G some breakfast". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I try to instill compassion, gratitude and kindness into my kids...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It is so important to start our mornings on the right foot. In my 10 years of teaching, this is my 11th, I have always had the kids start their day off with telling me things they are grateful for- verbally, or in a grateful notebook! This year I told my students to find a notebook that they love. It can be one that they decorate with things they love, or it can be a notebook with an inspirational quote, or an animal that they like! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With my dyslexic students, I have my teachers assistant sit down and help they write 3 things they are grateful for and they can explain to her why, for my other students, this is a part of their handwriting time- 3rd grade is when they learn cursive! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Each day we watched a Kid President video to get us amped up for the day! I was able to stumble across this book of his- 100 ways to be awesome! This is so perfect to learn how to be awesome 1 day at a time! We will do one a day and write them down in our grateful journal- in the back- the “How to be Awesome” Journal! It’s really fun to talk to the kids about the advice kid president gives, for example, the first and second way to be awesome is to...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2. Take brain pictures</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is a conversation we had to have about times when we should use our phone and times when our phone should be put down!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I never know what kind of morning that the kids had before they came to me. I am not sure if they woke up late and rushed all morning to get to school on time. I am not sure if their sibling ate the last bowl of their favorite cereal that they were so looking forward to eating, I am not sure if they had a rough night the night before or got in trouble or yelled at. I am not sure if anyone had a kind word for them that morning.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I want my classroom to be a place they can come too, a place where they can find comfort, a place that is safe. So, every morning, with every class I have had, Houston, Guatemala, Bennington, Goddard, and here, I will greet them with a hand shake, a smile, eye contact, and I will say their name and that is it so wonderful to see them, because I may be the first person to do this. We will go over things we are grateful for and talk about ways we can be awesome, and I hope then, if I have brought a smile to their face, that I can turn their day around and start it on the right track, show them that I care that they are there.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> I want to teach the whole child. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love to bake! I made cake balls for the staff for the first day of staff meetings on August 19th, and I made my Grandmas amazing coffee cake! It was my first time using her recipie and I couldn’t help but be nostalgic while making it! Grandma would always have a coffee cake made every time we came up to the farm! I can’t wait to make it more often and practice and perfect it! Bringing this to school was so special to me to share with my new staff! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Welcome back to ALittleNebraskaSunshine! It feels good to be blogging again!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This year I wanted to try new innovative ideas, and share them with friends and family, so you can see what I am up too, or maybe gain some inspiration!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We spent a short year in Kansas before moving back to Nebraska. I had heard about this school in North West Omaha call Legacy that focused on small group or one on one learning, project based learning, and teaching was encouraged to be outside! I get plenty of plan periods in one day and I have a teachers assistant; she is also a certified teacher! In almost every subject I teach I am able to do station work and have teachers at 2 of the stations! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am so excited for this school year and all that it has to bring! For right now you can see below, this is my school, and my classroom is on the very end, not completed yet!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This will be my new classroom come October!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But, for right now I am on the house that is on the 11 acre campus. The house that came with the purchase of the land is originally where the kids take science! The science teacher is currently in the garage- with an air conditioner- no worries, and I am in the living room and the kitchen! The kids “lockers” (chairs) are in the bedroom off of the living room! It’s quite the experience right now! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My teaching idle growing up was Laura Ingels Wilder, so I feel like I am in a 1 room school house teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade! :) </span></div>
