I already feel like we assess kids so much, especially in testing grades. I do want/need to get better about anecdotal notes. My favorite way to take and organize notes is to use peel and stick labels. I put a blank sheet of labels on my clipboard and then when I see something i need to record, I write the student name and date along with the note on a blank label. When the whole sheet is used, I transfer the label to the appropriate student page in my assessment binder. </span></span></span></div>

We play games at my table almost daily. Sometimes the game is a review, sometimes I use it as a formative assessment and more often than not I use games at my math table to make learning fun and memorable. These games are then transitioned into math bins when I am sure all the students know how to play. I have some math games in my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Kickin-It-With-Class-Heather-Kearns/PreK-12-Subject-Area/Math/Type-of-Resource/Task-Cards" target="_blank">TpT store</a> and I have plans to create and share many more. One of the class favorite games is a simple place value game called From Here to There. I have a<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Holiday-From-Here-to-There-Place-Value-Freebie-419403" target="_blank"> Christmas themed freebie</a> in my store if you want to take a look. The kids LOVE this game because it involves both luck strategy. I love it because it is super easy to differentiate. You can play with 1 ten-sided die, 2 regular dice or even 3 dice for students who are ready for larger numbers.<br />

No. I get children every year who believe they are "no good at math" even from such an early age. Or they think, "math is hard" I think a lot of these kids even have parents who reenforce this idea by telling them that "math was hard for me in school too" I know parents do this to comfort their child and with good intentions, but I wish they would stop! <a href="http://kickinitwithclass.blogspot.com/2016/06/guided-math-in-action-plan.html" target="_blank">Click here </a>to read what I think about this "I'm not good at math" societal norm we've created!</div>

I created these posters you can grab for free. They come straight from Dr. Nicki's thoughts on teaching kids how to preserver. I plan to talk about this idea at length with my kids from day one next year. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Growth-Mindset-Poster-Freebie-Construction-Themed-2615441" target="_blank">These posters</a> (<b>freebie alert</b>) will hang on the wall and I will refer back to them MANY times. I think we need to remind students <b>a lot </b>that not everything we do is easy. We grow as learners when things are not easy!!</div>

They do now! Lol! I am guilty of asking just a few students to respond to questions I throw out during a whole group mini lesson. When you "do the math" and realize how many questions a student answers during the year if you can on one student to answer each question VS. the number of questions they answer if you allow all students to answer, it becomes a no brainer. So, my plan moving forward is to assign students a partner starting on the first day. When I am teaching my mini lessons students will sit near their turn and talk partner. Then, when I ask a question they will turn and talk. I created <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_DYISf1lLeJd0JNSUh6c29VZUE/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">these posters</a> (freebie alert) to assign partners in a fun way. I think I will just hang the posters up near the board so we can see them all the time. I plan to print and laminate so I can change partners easily as needed! </div>

Two years ago I started number talks. These number talks have helped my students think flexibly about numbers in a safe environment. It allows us to model math reasoning through thinking out loud. This year I also plan to use <a href="http://kickinitwithclass.blogspot.com/2016/06/diy-beaded-number-lines.html" target="_blank">beaded number lines</a> to teach many skills at the guided math table. I believe this tool will encourage flexibility as well.<br />

I've always used Turn and Talk to launch discussions and number talks as mentioned above. This year I plan to incorporate google classroom as a way to facilitate conversations between peers (I will blog about it once I get it started) and I also plan to use a cool app called <a href="https://plickers.com/library" target="_blank">Plickers</a>. This are mostly all for auditory and visual learners... I can't wait to see what others suggest! </div>

Usually I pull everyone back to the carpet and quickly sum up what we learned that day. Sometimes I will highlight something cool a students said or did or I'll ask them to share. I may even ask for feedback on a management piece if there is something we need to work at. After reading the chapter though I plan to do a better job at this piece. I want students to be the one to share and I love Dr. Nicki's suggestion of a mathematician's chair just like an author's chair! I will set a timer though because it is easy to turn that into a time suck!!</div>

I have a few more freebies I am working on from these chapters.

Hi! Welcome to my little piece of the internet. I am Heather, a thirty-something wife, mother of 2 and teacher blogger. I have been teaching for 13 years and loving<strike> every</strike> almost every minute of it! I taught 3rd grade for 10 years, first grade for 3 years and now I am headed back up to teach 3rd grade math/science! Teaching first grade really strengthened my teaching craft. It enabled me to hone my small group skills in a way I don't think would have happened if I'd stayed in a third grade classroom. I am ready to take those skills back up to third with me though!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have be using guided math for 3 years now and I can't imagine going back to whole group! I still have a lot to learn though and I am eager to work my way through this book. I hope you'll join in on the conversation either through your blog, our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/guidedmathinactionbookstudy/" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, or on Twitter. I can't wait to see what we can learn together!!</div>

I am so excited to be co-hosting this guided math book study with Cindy from <a href="http://mrspriceskindergators.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mrs. Price's KinderGators</a> and Maggie from <a href="http://maggieskinder.com/" target="_blank">Maggie's Kinder Corner.</a> We will be reading and discussing Dr. Nicki Newton's book, Guided Math in Action. If you have never had the opportunity to hear Dr. Nicki speak, you are missing out! She is amazing. She was recently a presenter for a small group of teachers in my district but I was not asked to attend :( I considered crashing the party!! Those who were able to attend had so many wonderful things to share! Then, I was lucky enough to watch a webinar she posted on <a href="https://guidedmath.wordpress.com/about/" target="_blank">her blog</a>... I took 4 pages of notes and had so many ah-ha moments!!<br />

<b>Why am I passionate about teaching kids to LOVE math?</b></div>
Imagine you were on an airplane and the person next to you asked what you did for a living. You say, "I teach reading." What if they then said to you, "I hate reading, I am no good at it."? You would probably be in shock that they just admitted to you that they were not a good reader. Admitting you are a struggling reader is a kind of social faux-pas. However, this happens EVERY DAY when you tell someone you teach math. Inevitably, people respond, "I'm no good at math." I wonder, why is that okay? Why do we not think anything of it?<br />
<br />
I use guided math because I want the kids that leave my class to love math. I hope I can teach them to believe in themselves and their math ability. I hope I teach them to be problem solvers!<br />
<br />
Watch this short clip below. This is why we need to be flexible thinkers - problem solvers! Obviously this is meant as a joke, but it may not be that far from the truth!<br />

Every year I create a new presentation for what my district calls curriculum night. Your district may call it back-to-school night, open house, etc. I like my presentation to match my classroom theme or decor. I thought you might like the same thing! I created an editable version of my back to school slideshow and I plan to create many more themes over the next few weeks.<br />
<br />
If you purchase one of these slide shows you'll be able to edit all the text areas. You will be able to duplicate slides if all your information can't fit onto one slide and you'll be able to delete any slides that don't pertain to your classroom. There is also a blank slide for you in case! I have included over 65 slides!! To see a full list of included slide titles, click on the picture below to see the product listing on TpT.<br />

This week I am most excited about my beaded number lines. What are beaded number lines you ask? They are a fabulous tool used for counting, skip counting, adding (composing), subtracting(decomposing), rounding, place value (groups of tens and ones) and so much more. </div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: left;">
I first learned about this tool when <a href="https://guidedmath.wordpress.com/about/" target="_blank">Dr. Nicki Newton</a> came to my school district and presented to the math specialists. Sadly, I wasn't invited :( </div>

I chose to make 6 beaded number lines so that I could use them with my small groups. If I was still teaching first grade, I may go ahead and make a whole class set... My math specialist said the kids could make them but I am <strike>too type A for that </strike>on summer vacation. My kids did help me make them but I made sure they counted after each set of 10 to ensure they had the proper amount of beads. I don't want my math tools to confuse any children! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">To make the number lines I used 2 packages of <a href="http://amzn.to/1Sdi7cY" target="_blank">pony beads</a> {2 different colors}</li>
<li><a href="http://amzn.to/1UWFc8n" target="_blank">Para cord</a> (though you could use shoelaces or lanyard) Be sure you don't get anything too thick.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Small <a href="http://amzn.to/1Qec5io" target="_blank">jump rings</a> (for storage purposes)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1</b>: tie a double knot at the bottom of a 2-yard piece of string. I used paracord because it was inexpensive and in the same isle as the pony beads at Hobby Lobby #winning. Shoelaces work well because they are easy to thread the bead onto but they are more costly. I put a small piece of scotch tape on the end where I was adding the beads since the cord frayed a bit where it had been cut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2</b>: alternate adding sets of 10 beads. I put 100 beads on each string but the first grade teachers on my campus may choose to use 120 since they will be using this as a counting tool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3</b>: double knot the top end of the string to a jump ring. This way you can hang all the number lines on a command hook for easy, tangle free storage! </div>

That's it! Easy peasy. My kids were mad I only needed six number lines. They each made 3 in about 20 minutes. </div>

My dad is visiting from Ohio and Monday was my first official day of summer. We finally have time to do all the fun stuff we are too tired to do during the school year! First stop, bowling! Did you know kids can bowl 2 games per day, every day for free over the summer? It's true! <a href="http://www.kidsbowlfree.com/" target="_blank">Click here </a>to see if a bowling alley near you us participating!</div>

I threw out a question on IG about a guided math book study and Cindy from <a href="http://mrspriceskindergators.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mrs. Price's Kindergators </a>suggested I host one. We got to talking and now we are planning to collaborate on a book study with Maggie from <a href="http://maggieskinder.com/" target="_blank">Maggie's Kinder Corner</a>. I am SUPER excited. Guided math is a passion of mine and I can't wait to hear from and share with other teachers and bloggers. Details will be coming out shortly! </div>

Loving - we moved into the new home last September and the pool needed to be refinished and then it got cold. This summer it has a beautiful surface and crystal blue water and my family has been in it every day. I love that we can just hop in - swim and get back out. No packing bags, no packing food... it's glorious!</div>

Wanting: I was asked to write 1st grade math curriculum for my district this summer. I am writing it with one other teacher and it has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I have loved the process so much but it is a TON of work. We are almost finished with the first half of the year though and then we'll take a break as it gets reviewed and revised! </div>

Needing:My sister-in-law is getting married and I still don't have a dress... or shoes.... or Spanx :) See, I procrastinate in all areas of my life, not just work! (um, I was waiting to lose 80 pounds but since <strike>I can't stop eating carbs</strike> I have enjoyed my summer, I guess I need to do the best I can with what I got (yes, I know that is not grammatically correct) sigh. </div>

Book Bins from <a href="http://www.reallygoodstuff.com/group-colors-for-6-durable-book-and-binder-holders-with-wings/p/163336/" target="_blank">Really Good Stuff</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love my clear book bins from Really Good Stuff. I bought them 3 years ago and while some of the kids have been a little rough on them, most of them are as nice as the day they were purchased. I made the choice to buy clear ones because our school changes themes every year and this way I know they will match no matter what! I simply print a new themed label each year and stick it on! Easy Peasy!! </div>

I love the look of circle labels but I HATE cutting circles... enter the most fabulous invention ever. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Round-Sqeeze-Punch-174140-1001/dp/B000OMZXP6/ref=sr_1_2?&ie=UTF8&qid=1437399498&sr=8-2&keywords=3+inch+hole+punch" target="_blank">The Circle Punch</a>! This one is a 3-inch diameter and it makes cutting my labels a breeze! I bought mine at Michaels with a 40% off coupon and my teacher discount!!! Here is the link to one on Amazon though if you're interested. </div>

Lastly, I love these clear file folder sized bins from Amazon. It comes in a pack of 6 for around $25. I have these on a book shelf behind my reading table. I <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Editable-Classroom-Labels-1645543" target="_blank">labeled </a>each container with the names of the kids in my group and then stuck the reading pouches for the books we were working on plus the next few inside the bucket. I would also put any games we were playing and reader's response prompts inside. This made it so easy. Once I called a group to my table, I would just put the bucket next to me and have everything I needed. It was also a cinch to leave sub plans since everything was in one spot! </div>

Hello Friends!!! I have to tell you a secret. When I first started creating things to TpT, I knew that the files had to be secure to protect the clip art and fonts I'd purchased. I thought, if I turned my work (created in PowerPoint) into a PDF, it was secure. Turns out I was wrong. Simply turning the PP presentation into a PDF still allows the users to right click and save images and text. YIKES!!</div>

I did not want to break any TOU of these fabulous artists that I respect so much. So, I had to figure this out. I thought I was going to have to purchase expensive Adobe software in order to secure files. Turns out that's not the case (happy dance)! Below, I am going to list for you the steps needed when using a Mac and PowerPoint. I have Office 2011 but I am thinking it would be pretty similar to other versions? Sorry, I can't help you with a PC. If you try this on a PC, I'd love for you to share your experience in the comments!!! </div>

This is going to be short and sweet my friends! Happy 4th of July. To celebrate, I created these patriotic calendar numbers. I figure I can use them during "freedom week" or even as a beginning of the year math center and have the students order the numbers. Each card is 2.5 x 2.5 so they will fit on a wall calendar and in a pocket chart. If you enjoy these, I'd love to hear from you!! Thanks for stopping by,</div>

Listening: This is my summer show... it is always crazy and sad to see what addiction does to a family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loving: I am in LOVE with my new blog design from <a href="http://www.abirdinhanddesigns.com/p/basic-pages.html" target="_blank">A Bird In Hand Designs</a>. So pretty!! Megan was great to work with and super fast. Two thumbs up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thinking: I am going to work really hard at blogging and TpTing this year so that I can go to Vegas next year. Don't feel too bad for me though, I'll be at the ocean with my family!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wanting: My kids are growing up so quickly and my pictures are with an old point and shot or most often, my iPhone. I would really love to buy a camera for my family and for better pictures of my products being used in my classroom. Dark, grainy yellowish iPhone photos aren't really cutting it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Needing: To stay focused on everything. I am writing curriculum for my district this summer which is super time consuming but I also want to blog more, organize my classroom library and actually get on/ stay on plan with 21 Day Fix. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All Star: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to read. In the summer I stay up WAY too late reading and then I pick up the book as soon as I wake up and stay in bed reading until my little humans need me :) See, I need to stay focused on my list above!!</div>

We moved into a new house in September and didn't "do" anything to it. This summer we are starting to decorate. I want a natuical-ish living space since we have large windows looking out towards the pool. I love these DIY curtains because it would allow me to get the exact blue I want and they are WAY <strike>cheaper</strike> more inexpensive since we need 6 panels. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Home projects</u></b>: We were blessed to buy a new house this past September and it had a lot to offer.. it was in our price range, zoned to the schools we want our children to attend and it has a gorgeous backyard complete with a pool! The inside though, is way outdated and "needs" many upgrades. I would love to earn enough income from TpT to be able to update our home the way I envision!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Pay off student loans</u></b>: bluck. Need I say more?? I have been teaching and paying for 11 years now and I am over it!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Travel</u></b>: This is pitiful. I have never been out of North America. I dream of traveling to Italy and Greece and even taking smaller trips like New England in the fall or taking my kids back to Disney while they are little enough to still believe in the magic!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Lasik</u></b>: I have awful eyesight and my contacts get SO dry and painful. I want to be able to wake up and see!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Master's Degree</u></b>: Every year I think about going back to get my Master's but I can't justify adding even more student debt and with our 2 teacher household income, paying for it without loans isn't currently an option. sigh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but certainly not least, <b><u>helping others</u></b>. It would be such an amazing gift to have money to use to bless others. Whether that be by treating them to lunch or helping them with something bigger, I want to be able to help!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by my little piece of the bloggy world. I can't wait to read more about everyone's goals. I am really ready to stop being <strike>ADHD</strike> distracted and get busy achieving my dreams!!</div>

Using Evernote is so easy. You can drag or paste in pictures, and then add links. I always add links for blog posts I want to refer back to and links to games I've purchased or downloaded on TpT. That way I can share my resources with my team {using their original sources} and also, next year when I start planning money again, I have all my resources in 1 spot!!!</div>

I created this Roll and Say freebie to use during small group or even whole group. I've included several uses for the game board such as saying the coin name, coin value or even counting all the coins to get the total of each row. I've also included a blank copy so that you can use your own real or fake coins for hands on learning which is so important for this abstract skill.<br />

We are rocking right along with our problem solving journals. Every morning the kids have a math problem on their desk. The routine is that they come in, unpack, and then get to work solving the problem in their journal. When announcements are over, we share several notebooks and talk about different ways to get to the solution. We clear up misconceptions and break down important clues in the problem. I always hold up several notebooks to share and then allow a student to come up to the board to solve. I am working on getting these into my TpT store..... </div>

Yesterday was our class Valentine party and I was completely spoiled!! I work at a Title 1 campus and I am always so humbled by the love I am shown on holidays. I know it is a financial strain for some families and I love my handmade notes and cards as much as the big baskets! The cutie that bought me these gorgeous flowers was SO excited to pick them out himself and give them to me. I LOVE tulips so I was quite impressed with his choice!<br />

Loving: Santa bought me a fitbit and I have big plans to get moving!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thinking: I have many goals, personal, professional, blogging etc... but I am also trying to think small and focused so that I can actually acomplish those goals :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wanting: Yes, we found a dead, stinky possum in our attic tonight but we can't get to it. So we have to wait until???? the rodent places open up and I can't even imagine what it will smell like by then. OMG. so.grossed.out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Needing: I need to be realistic. It is too easy for me to say, "i'm going to lose 60 pounds this year" but then not think of the "how"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes: I will get healthy this year and be a good model for my kids</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe: I really want to be a better blogger (I couldn't get any worse) and with that I want to out the things I create on TpT. I have a really bad habit of creating things for my classroom when I need them and then never posting them for some reason...</div>

Listening.. I snuck away from a fun pool party / picnic to get out of the heat for a minute</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loving... I have a student teacher and she is awesome. She jumped right in on day 1 and it is so amazing to have extra hands, eyes, and ears the first week of school!!</div>
<br />
Thinking... My mom passed away from cancer this past April and I think about my dad all the time. They were married for 44 years and on days like today (holidays) I worry about him being alone. I hope he can move down to Texas soon..<br />
<br />
Wanting... We moved out of our house this Friday but can't move into a next one until this coming Saturday. I am dreading the whole unpacking thing. ugh.<br />
<br />
Needing... We love our new house. It is in a great neighborhood and has an amazing pool (swoon) but it is older and needs some work. I am the kind of person who wants everything to be done RIGHT NOW... so I am going to need to channel my inner zen and be okay with very slow progress.<br />
<br />
3 trips.... I have always wanted to see every.single.inch of Italy and who wouldn't want to go to Greece and Hawaii?<br />
<br />
Enjoy your week!!<br />

It has been FOR*EV*ER (I just channeled my inner Sandlot voice). I have lots of reasons I haven't blogged in about a year but I'll save those for another post. Today, I'll start simple and link up with 4th Grade Frolics with a Monday Made It post!!<br />

The hubs and I are getting ready to sell our house and we have been working REALLY hard to get the house ready. I am not a decorator - it stresses me out when I walk into stores with decor... I want everything but I don't know where it should go, what it matches, etc... So, our house was pretty bare and I wanted to add some small touches to make it feel warm and inviting.<br />
<br />
First up, a 5 minute pinspired table runner. Literally, walked into Hobby Lobby, bought the two widths of burlap ribbon, laid it on the table and cut to fit. A simple $10 project that makes a nice impact when you enter our home!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Secondly, a pinspired wreath for the front door. I bought 2 green flowers, one cream rose and a wooden initial. It took me all of 10 minutes to add the flowers with floral wire and glue on the letter!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
There you have it, Monday made-it pinspired edition. Hopefully I can get my groove back and make some classroom stuff too.<br />

I love math time and my kids love math games. They don't even know they are learning! Today I wanted to share a quick post to show you some things I have been using with my Tier II RTI group. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The friends in my group are having issues with counting to 100 in less than a minute so we are now starting every lesson counting to 100 using a hundred chart and pointing to each number. I have a large sand timer so we can see if we are counting fast enough. I created this super <strike>boring</strike> simple chart to have students graph their progress after each progress monitoring probe. Good documentation and the kids like seeing their progress. </div>

We are also working hard on teen number identification. My kids can tell me what the number is called on a hundred chart, but can't name it in isolation. One of our progress monitoring tasks is quantity discrimination. The kids look at 2 numbers and name the larger one. Well, the kids can point to the larger one every time. However, they have to name it and they call 12, 20 and 13, 31 so they get them all wrong. So sad. They love this little review we do before each math lesson - proving that sometimes simple is fun. I hold these up like flash cards and the first person to read the number correctly gets to keep the card. Simple.Fast.Fun.Effective.

<br />Lastly, my whole class is working on solving addition and subtraction problems within 20. I created these Fall-themed problems to practice 1 per day whole group.

I have totally dropped off the face of the map.. sorry about that. I have been really busy changing to a new grade level (moved to first after 9 years in third) and the year started off with its usual crazy pace. But then, the worst phone call I have ever received happened 3 weeks into the year and everything went into a kind of tailspin. My mom called me one Friday afternoon. Her voice cracking, my anxiety level raising and she said, "Heather, I have cancer." We found out the following Friday that is was really bad - Stage IVB Vaginal Cancer.<br />
<br />
I could post a whole book on the emotions I felt that day and every day since with the ups and downs that occur when a loved one is going through cancer treatment. I also live far away from her (I am in Texas, she is in Ohio) but I am really not sure if that is better or worse. Sometimes I feel like I am in a protective bubble, other times I feel like I couldn't possibly be further away. Any way, I figured I needed to rejoin the land of the living and try my best to live my life assuming she will get better (easier said than done!!)<br />
<br />
Okay, sorry for the drama. Onto my November Currently hosted by the wonderful <a href="http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2013/11/november-currently.html" target="_blank">Farley</a>.<br />

Get comfy, I have lots of pictures for you today! This year our principal challenged us to each come up with one adjective that fit with our theme, Be All You Can. The rules were simple. 1. Doors had to have the word "be" spelled correctly. 2. We could not have anything 3-D (due to fire marshall rules) and 3. We had each had to choose a different word. So, we thought of our words and planned our door over the summer!! Here is the result. 60 something doors - - Each totally unique! Photo credit goes to my really good teaching friend, Tracy G. Have fun looking and leave a comment about your favorite door. Who knows, maybe I'll pick your comment to win an item from my store! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have teamed up with 65 AMAZING blogger buddies to put together the ultimate Back to School Linky/Giveaway!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Each one of my blogger buddies submitted a cute childhood photo & generously donated something special from their online TpT shops for this occasion!! We have included a fun game for you to play for a chance to win over $300.00 in prizes and a BONUS CASH-PRIZE raffle you can enter at the end of this post!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">CHA-CHING!!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b>The game is easy to play....</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Your job will be to try and match each blogger with their childhood photo!!! With over 60 childhood photos and bloggers to match up, this might get tricky!! As I mentioned above, each blogger has generously donated one awesome prize from their TpT store. Successfully match a blogger and childhood photo, and you win the prize offered from that blogger!!! The more you matches you make, the more prizes you win!!! </span><br />
