I am here to admit to be 100% addicted to Krista Wallden's clip art . She is amazing. The quality can't be beat. On top of all that, she is a generous artist. I have been a member of the Summer and Fall VIP clubs. I am anxiously awaiting tomorrow for the first week of the Winter VIP.  She does numerous FREEBIES throughout the year, usually giving a full set, not just an image or two. WOW. Talk about impressive. For December she is doing Operation ELF, everyone loves freebies. The clip art includes a sELFless challenge for the week.  Here is week one, and my progress to date. 3. Done, I posted an Operation ELF freebie last week.  You can find it here.  4. Someone at work had already started this. It was a perfect combination of projects.  That is it for this week. I will be stalking , waiting patiently for this weeks Operation ELF. ...
With it being a long weekend, I decided to bring home all the devices I use in my classroom. After all, apps need updating, songs changed out, etc.. It is a good time. Just for fun, I collected all the devices I have available in my classroom and took a picture. WOW! Even I was a little amazed at what I have. This doesn't include the 6 desktop and 12 laptop computers. Here it is, in all its glory! With a brief explanation of how each item is used. 1. 3 iPhones (3GS) and 1 iPod touch.

I use the guided access feature to make sure they are working in the correct app.  2. Various MP3 players and an iPod Nano. The Riptune MP3 players were purchased to send home with an Interactive Alphabet activity, but they are a little tricky to get to work. I am using them in the classroom with the activity in the classroom. I may use them for read along boo...
Here we go again. A new month, a new Currently post, hosted by Farley at Oh' Boy 4th Grade . Listening: At this moment I am listening to the quiet hum of my computer. It is early and I haven't turned on the music yet. My current ear worm is Benedictus by 2 Cellos. Check out their You Tube page. Fantastic music.  Loving: The cool weather here in south Florida. This weekend has been perfect, cool mornings, highs in the low 70s, great weather to sit on the porch with a good book (see reading) and a mug of hot green tea. Relaxation shall commence!  Thinking: It is Sunday, that means I am thinking about all the things I need to so for the week, school related and personal....  Wanting: More time to create! It is hard during the school year. I am a scrapbooker, card maker, learning to paint kind of gal. Not to mention creating items for TPT.  Needing:  Really, everything is good here. I can't think of any real 'NEED'... anything here would ...
