Awards

I have been given the Versatile Blogger Award from Miss Ice at 3rd Grade Sprinkles, Jessica at Mrs. Stanford's Class, and Diane at Teaching with Moxie.  Thank you, ladies!   I was awarded this award not long ago, and I love knowing that people appreciate my ideas.  You can read who I nominated and my random info here.

Mrs. Poultney has awarded me the One Lovely Blog Award.  You can see my previous post where I nominated others for this award here.

I was awarded the Liebster Award and the Versatile Blogger Award from Brandi at Success in Second Grade.  I will nominate some people for the Liebster Award tomorrow.

Thank you so much!  It really is an honor to receive these.  I feel very humbled to accept these and to see how fast this little blog is growing.  :)

Now as part of my giveaway I asked you to share what types of teaching resources you needed.  The overall consensus was that everyone needed Common Core Resources and more resources for Social Studies and Science.  My plan is to do a weekly series where I share different texts for Science and Social Studies with you each week and then recommend specific Common Core standards for reading they would meet. Tuesdays I will share History texts and Thursdays I will share Science texts.  Wednesdays I am going to be starting my weekly writing inspiration posts again where I share a picture, quote, and a poem for writing inspiration, usually based on a theme.

Today got away from me so tomorrow you will get the weekly writing inspiration and my History text suggestions both.  As much as I can I will try to create printables or freebies to accompany the texts, but I feel good texts are an invaluable resource in and of themselves.  Since it is almost midnight here, happy 4th of July!

Oh and I finally made it!  I got ink finally, printed it all out, and discovered my toolbox was broken.  Had to go back to Home Depot and get a new one.  The measurements on my labels weren't totally perfect so I had to just trim all the edges a little bit, but it was pretty close. I love it and no spray painting! The labels look great with the gray. I used glue dots adhesives I found at Michael's to attach the labels to the drawers.  I bought the removable ones so I could adjust the labels if I stuck them on crooked. The glue dots worked really well and seem sturdier than tape.
