Measure! Measure!

Well, I can say I had an exciting time with math this week! We have been working on measurement and my students have enjoyed measuring anything they can get their precious hands on. I have pictures to share of them using a form of non-standard measurements. They thought it was play day! :) Who says 2nd Graders can't have fun and learn too!!! Lol

I also have a flipchart introducing non-standard measurement on TPT...check it out!

Blessed!

Good morning! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. I am about to get ready for church. It's time to worship!!!! We are so blessed to live in a country that allows us to worship God!

 I look forward to Sundays, but there is one reason I don't. I hate seeing my daughter leave for the week. I know, it's only a week! The house is just too quiet when she leaves. Peace and quiet is not always my option. At least I have a to-do list to keep me busy because I do have a lot to do today.

My goal today is to work on plans for my sick days and post a unit on TPT. I did not get to it yesterday like I wanted to.

Well not too much happening in "BB's" corner? How about yours? I would love to hear from you.

Blessed are those who serve the Lord by living in His love and believing in His Word.

Here are the questions from "Get in the Game with Mrs. Barcomb."

1. If you had lots of time and no financial worries what would you do? I would volunteer time in schools to help teachers reach those students that need one on one time. It's hard getting help these days.

When we were deep into conversation, one of my students shared..."Oh, those are the worms that come out of a cat's butt! My cat did that one time!"  I had to hold back my laughter.
7. Do you have any pets? I have two dogs. They are basset hounds, Brodie and Dolly Ann.
8. Do you have any tattoos? No
9. What kind of music do you listen to? Pretty much anything. I like contemporary Christian Music, Pop, and Country.

Gosh! It's been a long time since I have posted anything on my blog. This school year has been so full, with the all the changes going on with the curriculum. I hope I can do better. I plan on posting new items on TPT this weekend. I have some DGP practice  that will be posted for Promethean Users and I have put together some spelling and vocabulary units that include all the 2nd Grade EDL words. My Spelling and Vocabulary Unit will include: Spelling , vocabulary, powerpoints, and a Flipchart (promethean users), and Assessments. You will love having these units!

On a personal note, I have been dealing with some back issues this year. I will have surgery in February. I can not wait to get that behind me, so I feel more like myself. Our grandbaby, Cami, is growing so fast. She will be 9 months old really soon. Time flies when it comes to your children and grandchildren. I love being a "BB"! Our daughter is in her 2nd semester in college. She decided to transfer to Point University. She LOVES it!  Her spiritual life has grown so much this year. She has an interview with WinShape Camps this week. Please keep her in your prayers. She really  makes her dad and I really proud. Our son and daughter-n-law are doing great too! Benji got a promotion at work. We are so happy for him.

Well, that's what's happening in "BB's" Corner...What's happing in yours? Leave a comment, I love hearing from friends and new friends.
