Old man winter visited the bluegrass this past week and even though I was off school for AN ENTIRE WEEK...I didn't blog much due to no wifi. I did what I could do on my phone but short of that, it was quiet in my blog world.
But I did do this...
We had such an awesome "unplugged" time! Hubs braved the roads to go Lowe's and buy sleds. We don't usually have winter like this in Kentucky so he had to drive to the next county to get them!!! Crazy I know! I am so blessed to have such a sweet and wonderful little family and then to be gifted this extra time to spend with them was just too wonderful! I learned how much of a daredevil my oldest and boldest daughter is...She is a tough country cookie in a girly-girl package. That last pick is her on the bobsled down into our front field. I learned my baby girl is not quite the wild child she seems to be, especially when in a new and unfamiliar situation. I learned my youngest baby boy is a go with the flow kinda guy who likes to hang with his daddy...

Hubs also got himself a new electric smoker! He is in heaven, a smoked meat heaven! He has taken care of dinner for two straight nights...smoked chicken wings and a whole chicken one night and then smoked ribs and chicken breast the next night. We are having smoked brisket tomorrow night. I am loving not having to cook the hard stuff!! He loves cooking outdoors and this has made his winter! I am not posting pictures because if I did, you would demand smell-o-vision...
Just found out we have another day off tomorrow due to temps being in single digits. As I was driving into school this morning, I saw a dad and a little guy walking to school this morning and I am thankful I work for a district that at least has the wherewithal to consider children and their families that walk to school when we have really dangerous weather. I couldn't imagine being out in -10 degree weather walking my little one to school. I won't let my animals stay out when we have single digits much less than below zero which is what the weather man is calling for in the bluegrass for the next two days.
I posted a really great product over at Shearer-ly Sadler 4th Grade's TPT shop. It's the first in a product line I have been working on called Grab N' Go Teach. It's an all inclusive math (for now)lesson plan including a manipulative for interaction during small groups, guided practice and/or homework sheets, a set of task cards and a quiz. It congruent to the standard it addresses, in this case 4.NF.4a.
I just started my specialist degree in instructional leadership/principal and I want to have a much tighter grasp on all the standards...SSSSSSSSOOOOOOO I'll trade you a freebie and a chance to get this product for free if you give me some feedback to help differentiate for grades 3 and 5. I will send you the worksheets from the packet for your time. Leave me your feedback in comments and don't forget your email address for the attachments. If you mention this product on your blog and follow my blog, you could win this Grab N' Go Teach activity. Simply leave me a link to your blogpost and the name you follow under and I will choose a winner at random. I will choose the winner tomorrow night at 10 pm EST (just in case there is school on Wednesday and I have to go to bed) so don't wait!!!
Thanks for your help and I am off to bed!!! Have a Tubular Tuesday!!!
