I just took all the stools out of their packages, and I am going to spray paint them tomorrow evening! After they have dried, my hubby has promised to put them together! Let's hear it for the men who marry teachers!! They are awesome!! So thankful for mine! :) After he puts them all together, I will post my AFTER PICTURES!! :) I'm so excited to see these around my guided reading table at school in a week or so!</span></div>

Life happens and life has been busy for my family!!! I told my hubby tonight though that I am ready to get back to my passion: blogging about my adventures with my kiddos!! I hope you can forgive me for staying away so long!! </span></div>

I love doing <a href="http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2014/08/august-currently.html" target="_blank">Farley's</a> Currently each month. It is so much fun to see what everyone is doing in the blogging world each month, and I love to put my thoughts out there too! Here is mine for August: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, it is 11:32 here, and much to my dismay, I STILL have on the cartoon my son was watching before he fell asleep! I ALWAYS end up doing this!! Can I get an AMEN from any other Mamas out there?!?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am loving the time I spent with my hubby and son tonight at dinner.

<span style="background-color: magenta; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thinking:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My mind is in overdrive! I have SO MUCH I need to do before school starts, but I am LOVING SUMMER!! Anybody else out there in the same predicament?? I have all these ideas in my head! I just need to sit down and make some of them happen!! I WILL work on it all THIS WEEK! :) </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: magenta; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Wanting:</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />I have ABSOLUTELY missed blogging! I used to blog at least once a week, but this year has been extremely busy for my family. I finally feel like things are starting to slow down a little bit, and I can start blogging again like I want to! I LOVE being able to share what is going on in my classroom, and I love reading what other colleagues are doing in theirs! It is great professional development, even if we don't get credit for it! HA! :) </span></div>

<span style="background-color: magenta; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Needing:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, as I already shared, I am enjoying this summer WAY TOO MUCH!! I have to attend a 3 day long PD this coming week, and my plan is to get into my classroom after the PD each day, and work, work, work! Stay tuned for a classroom reveal in the near future!!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: magenta; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1st Day with my Kids:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">August 19th!! AHHH!!! I can't believe it is almost here!! What day do you start back with your kids?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>We have been studying some geometry like crazy the past few weeks in my class! This past Friday, my sweet kiddos did a 3D Shape Scavenger Hunt around our classroom!! I wanted to share some pictures of them working with their partners to find the most 3D shapes in our classroom (cylinders, cubes, and rectangular prisms)! This was a great and easy way for them to learn that 3D shapes are all around us!! They loved it!! We made it a BIG contest!! As you can see in the pictures, they REALLY got into it! :) It was super easy and very effective! </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>I have a SUPER FUN craft today for you to make up for my absence! We recently studied the government and how it was structured after the Revolutionary War. I have always liked teaching the 3 branches of government, but this year it was way more fun for my students this year! Take a look at the FUN craft my students made to help them remember the jobs of each branch of our US government!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>It was super fun and super easy!! We took brown lunch bags I purchased at my local Wal-Mart, and the students wrote US Government on the front. These are the "tree trunks". Then, each student cut out 3 green cloud looking pieces from construction paper to be the "leaves" or "branches". I teach 4th grade, so my students had to write a description of each branch of government (1 per piece-Judicial, Executive, Legislative). If you are not sure your students can handle taking the notes, then you could definitely type them up and have the students cut them out and glue them to their "branches/leaves". :) They glued their "branches" to their bags and VUALA!! You have a 3D graphic organizer! My kids LOVED this craft! Next year, I think I am going to do one branch of government per day and give my students some type of souvenir to put in their bag to help them remember that branch! </b></span></div>

Yay! It is that time again!! Jessica Stanford from Mrs. Stanford's Class is hosting the amazing Product Swap again! This time, I am paired up with the amazing Layla from <a href="http://fancyfreein4th.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Fancy Free in 4th</a>!! She has one amazing blogger that you should definitely check out!! She is a 4th grade teacher from Southern California, and she shares lots of great information and fun teaching ideas on her blog!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br />
So, today, I am going to tell you about one of Layla's awesome products! It is called <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/A-Homonym-a-Day" target="_blank">A Homonym a Day</a>, and I love it!! I promise you will too! :) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br />
First, she has some awesome posters that describe homographs and homophones. They are so easy to understand and look great hanging in the classroom!!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br />
<br />
Next, their is a great graphic organizer that shows students how homographs and homophones are both homonyms! It is an easy way for students to understand this concept, and it is super awesome! :) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Also included are some graphic organizers that help students differentiate between different homophones and homographs! 102 to be exact! :) </b></span><br />
