It's Official: The Universe Hates Me

My laptop is D-E-A-D. 

That would be awful in its own right but here is the kicker...

 I haven't backed up since January.

Goodbye every original I have blogged about for  the last 3 months.

Goodbye months worth of fabulous downloads from my blog-stalking obsession

Goodbye pictures of my sweet class I was planning to make a slideshow with for Open House.

Goodbye report cards that I now have to re-create by begging my parents to send in the hard copies.

I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!

If you don't back up regularly, please learn from my painful mistake.

Sigh. I  just can't seem to catch a break this year.

5-02 Daily Editing Word Problems

Meow

Look who visited my room today!

 Meet Rosebud and Jaguar.

One of my parents rescued these kittens when they were only 1 week old. They are now 6 weeks and adorable! Rosebed fell asleep in my arms. It took all my will power not to take her home.

Mother's Day Gift Idea

Have you seen the poem "If You Give a Mom a Muffin" floating around the internet? I think it is really cute and wanted to do something with it so I made it into a booklet for my students to illustrate.

I will take a picture of them about to eat a muffin for them to glue in.  {This is my son, Quinn.}

I thought I would buy muffins and Starbucks VIAs (instant coffee that is actually not bad)

and have students put them in a bag with the poem "Breakfast in Bed." 

And we will decorate the bags like this:

You can get download these printables and directions in my TPT store. The version there does not have 1st grade 2011 on the cover.

Junie B, First Grader: Dumb Bunny Book Packet

I made another book club packet for my high group. They get so excited to start a new book. I got these books for only $1 through the Scholastic Lucky February flyer. I think you should still be able to get them if you hurry!
