February is gone and it’s time to get my green on just in time for the St. Patrick’s Day season. The first order of business is to collect my favorite St. Patrick's Day Books. A friend recently asked, 'when do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? The week before or after? I am of the mindset that St. Patrick's is not a day, but a state of mind. I wait all year for this season, I like to start it as soon as March rolls around, and I make every second count. The first, step in getting your ... VIEW POST
St. Patrick’s Day Books
It’s official . . . one more leprechaun foot and I’ll turn green.
It's been a weekend of Irish shenanigans and leprechaun feet. Seamus left us a self-portrait. Many of you remember my original post from about 2 weeks ago when I showed the havoc that those little green men raise in both my home and my classroom. WOW! I have heard from so many great people who have embraced the fun of St. Patrick's Day and made it their own. Thanks for sharing your stories with me. I have loved it and would love know of any great new ideas any ... VIEW POST
A Differentiated I-Spy Leprechaun Freebie . . .
I love this kind of activity because anytime you give a kindergartener a clipboard, thier level of self-importance raises about 100 notches.

March Fine Motor Morning Work Stations
Here in Mrs. McGuire's class, we have St. Patrick's Day, leprechauns and all things green on our minds. That's why this month's morning work will have a bit of an Irish flavor to them. Luckily, my kinders indulge me and love all the mystery and intrigue that comes along with chasing leprechauns and pondering over their pots o' gold. It's sad to break down the February stations. They were such a hit, but I think that March will be a winner, too. Depending on how long ... VIEW POST

Chapter 3 and Time for a Freebie!
It's time for my reflections on Chapter 3! I love that we are getting into the nuts and bolts of D5 now. This is the putting it all together, getting organized and making it work . . . all starting to come together little by little. So here's what I came up with while I followed along with Tammy's guiding questions:1. Establish a gathering place for brain and body breaks. (Do you call your gathering place anything special? A few of my teammates did. Annie called ... VIEW POST
