French Lick Blog Hoppin' Fun

Hi Friends!

I just returned from an great weekend in French Lick, Indiana where I met some amazing teacher bloggers!  We had a great time learning about new ways to keep things fresh and exciting.  It was filled with lots of inspiration and fun.  If you missed it, be sure to check it out next year.  Holly, at Ms. Ehle's Kindergarten, did a great job!

I met some wonderful people.  My roommates for the weekend were Latoya Reed with Flying Into First, Amanda Pauley at Mrs. Pauley's Kindergarten, CaseyJane Cooper at Wiggling Scholars, and Heidi Neels at Flipping for First. We wanted to give you guys some fresh ideas for the spring months in your classroom.

We've covered lots of skills throughout the year so one way I like to keep things fresh with my students is by reviewing skills.  In the spring months we do a lot of this with games!  My kids love learning about, and reviewing skills with fun!

We use Computers a lot because they really keep the kids engaged!

The kids love word matching games.

Bingo is another way we review words.

 

This games help us remember the important parts of a sentence.  We use our sentences to make paragraphs.

 
This was a quick peek into what we do in the long spring months to keep things fun and engaging. Thanks much for stopping by!

Teachers are HEROES!

Today I am linking up with Jenny at Luckeyfrog's Lilypad to celebrate teacher heroes.

There are so many great things I could say about the teachers I had throughout my years in school.  Today I want to pay special tribute to the teacher who inspired me to teach. She was my teacher hero!

I can remember her class as if it were yesterday.  I was in seventh grade in Stone Mountain, Georgia.  I hated school because I thought it was boring.  I didn't like going to class because I was uncomfortable in my own skin. 

Then, one day I got assigned to Mrs. Senker's Life Science class.  I was so nervous because I didn't like studying and I knew that this would be a class that I would definitely have to study for. I quickly learned that Mrs. Senker had a gift for reaching students.  She made learning so much fun! From that year on, my goal was to be a teacher, just like Mrs. Senker.  She was amazing!

Today, we honor YOU as a hero!  I am sure that you all do an AMAZING job.  Shop til' you drop and take up 28% off of your total at my TpT store.  Click below to start saving and use the code HEROES when you check out.
