Do your students lack scissor skills? Sadly, with the lack of art being taught these days, I have several 2nd graders who are severely lacking in how to hold and use scissors, let alone cut shapes with them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
This past month we've focussed on scissor skills for this very reason! A great way to practice, is doing cut paper art and collage. I love art and I try to find time every Friday to do a little art project. I collect lots of cute and fun art projects on my Pinterest page. (You can find my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/rebas/art-projects-for-kids/">Pinterest art ideas here</a>.)<br />

We started the year gathering all my Eric Carle books! We read and read and study all the different and amazing illustrations in his books. Then, we paint entire pieces of paper, learning how to mix the primary colors to make secondary colors. We texturize the painted paper while it's still wet using different tools. The next week we plan our pictures. I lay out the painted paper in stacks according to color and the students take what they need. Here are some of their final works:<br />

This month we focussed on cutting paper to make Fall trees. I got the lesson from one of my favorite art blogs, <a href="http://artprojectsforkids.org/kandinsky-fall-tree-tutorial/">Art Projects For Kids</a>. This lesson is based on Kandisky's art. I thought that it would be a fun, colorful project. Interestingly, though, cutting circles proved to be frustrating at best for many of my students.<br />

For this lesson, I just projected the steps of the lessons from Art Projects For Kids up on the Promethean board. I demonstrate how to do each step by doing a sample in front of the students. I just start the project in front of them and then they go to their seats and I walk them through each step again as they do it at their seats. </div>

I can't tell you how difficult cutting out circles was for some of my students! I heard "I can't do this!" over and over. I kept responding by asking them to say "I can do this! I can do hard things!" (I love <a href="http://teachingfirst-abc.blogspot.com/2014/08/bright-ideas-power-of-positive.html">positive affirmations</a>!!)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Are you looking for a fun game for Halloween!? I'm giving away my Halloween Bingo Games and Activities this weekend to three lucky winners! Winners will be announced Sunday! For a second chance to win, check out my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TeachingFirst">Facebook page</a>! (Don't forget to like my page while you're there!) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The think I LOVE about the BINGO game, is that there are different game cards for up to 30 kids!! I also love all the cute, child friendly graphics! I keep my BINGO games in a three ring binder in plastic page protectors for easy storage. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are also smaller cards for a cake walk or a game of concentration!</span><br />

Last summer, I became intrigued with learning more about the power of positive thinking. I started using positive affirmations daily to redirect my "glass half-empty" funk I found myself in. The more I consciously thought positively, the more I started to catch my negative thinking as it happened and was able to "flip" it.<br />
<br />
For example, if I was thinking how overwhelmed I was with a particular task at work and feeling like I wasn't good enough, I'd flip my thinking into a positive affirmation by saying to myself (or out loud is even better!) "I am enough! I am worthy and deserving of good things. I am doing the best that I can!"<br />
<br />
The more I started using positive thinking the more empowered I felt. So, of course, when the school year started, I wondered if using positive thinking with my students would have the same effect on them.<br />
<br />
The first week of school I gathered my little ones on the carpet and explained to them what a positive affirmation was….that it is a declaration of anything good about yourself. I explained that we were going to make a poem of sorts, an I AM poem of positive affirmations.<br />
<br />
They loved this idea! With a little guidance, the class came up with some amazing affirmations!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had each child trace his or her handprint, sign it, and glue it to our poster. We read this poster to start our morning, and several times throughout the day we'd refer back to it, especially when a child seemed discouraged.</div>

Magical things began to happen!! During a fire drill one little girl started crying and was upset. I pulled her aside and had her take a few deep breaths to help calm her, and then had her repeat after me "I am safe. I am loved. My teacher loves me. My family loves me. My school is safe. I am protected…" After saying four or five affirmations she had stopped crying and had a smile on her face! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Here are some other affirmations that I used last year:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am beautiful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am loved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My teacher loves me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friends love me.<br />
My parents love me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am smart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can do hard things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am an angel. (One of my students came up with that one! I love it!)<br />
Learning is fun!<br />
I am love!<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Throughout the year, when a student would complain that the work was too difficult, other students would say, "Remember, I can do hard things!!" It became our mantra last year whenever something arose that was challenging! Someone would always pipe up and say "I can do hard things!!" </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Teaching children how to flip their negative thoughts into positives gives them power and self-confidence. It is an amazing tool for anyone, really. I use them all the time when I am catch myself thinking negatively about myself or a situation that is stressing me. I just "flip" my negative into a positive thought and repeat it over and over again until it "sticks". You will actually feel your body calm once you are believing the positive thoughts you are stating! It truly is amazing how much the mind effects the body!<br />
<br />
You are what you repeatedly think, so why not create the most beautiful, positive world you can by starting with one little thought! </div>

I started this week off on Monday with a half-day training on our new math program, "Go Math" by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. I'm excited that we have individual booklets for each student PER CHAPTER!!! Last year we didn't have a math program and we spent a ton of time finding resources online. Have you used the "Go Math" program? If so, how did you like it?</div>

After working on this baby for three weeks, taking breaks for days at a time, I FINALLY got this puppy finished! I love word dictionaries! Each week I post five word wall words and have my students either find it and circle it in their word dictionary or write it in on one of the blank lines provided. I also love having it for their writing time. Word dictionaries help reinforce the concept of ABC order and of course, dictionary skills, too!</div>

This was the week I was DREADING ALL SUMMER!! It was the week the last two of my step-children had to go back home to California. (Our teenage girls went back a week earlier to do some things with their friends.) We had the most wonderful summer with the four of them!! I miss them so much!! The house is soooo quiet. Too, quiet! (Which gives me WAY too much time to start worrying about school starting!)<br />

I was able to host my very first BACK to SCHOOL giveaway this week!! I haven't done a giveaway with other people in many MANY moons and I was a bit nervous hosting one! There are a bunch of really amazing prizes thanks to all the wonderful people who donated! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The giveaway is a little LONELY! (We've only had 50 people join in!!) I was so hoping for a little more! But hey, the odds of winning are pretty good! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">We took a creative break last week and took the boys to a local pottery place to paint pottery. We spent over TWO HOURS there just relaxing and painting! {Which is a total MIRACLE if you knew how active they are!!! Even my husband sat still that long!!} </span></div>

Last week I told you about my smaller planner by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/119316381/2014-2015-teacher-planner?ref=listing-20">Plum Paper Designs on Etsy</a> that I just LOVE!! I am thinking of using it either for my guided reading groups or as my personal planner. I did love my <a href="https://www.erincondren.com/">Erin Condren planner</a> last year and actually ordered one again for this year, and IT FINALLY CAME!!! I LOVE this new cover design!</div>

This week, I was in such a funk!! I spent a lot of my down time reading inspirational quotes, talks, and reading my scriptures just to try to help pull myself up. I began this week putting together a bunch of the quotes I came by, so I could frame some of them and put them up in my bedroom. By the time I was done, I had two packets made!! I want to share them here with you! They are all FREE!! I hope some of these quotes help you in your time of need. You can find them Here:</div>

This week I went to the local teacher supply store, Utah Idaho Maps and Supply, and purchased some new borders for my bulletin boards! Here's the before and after shots! Gotta love chevron! I actually ended up cutting the border pieces in half so they were a bit thinner than they originally were.<br />

I met a brand new TpT friend this week! Rainah Pray won my giveaway on Facebook and it turns out she lives in the midwest, just a few hours from where I grew up!! Rainah is just starting out on <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Fit-For-Firsties">TpT</a> and isn't a blogger {yet!}. I hope everyone will jump over to her store and show her some love by following her! </div>

Once you create your free account, you can click under the tab "Relatives" and do a search on all sorts of categories. It is run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so there are searches related to the church on there, BUT for those of you who are not LDS, there are tons of other interesting searches!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Such as, you can search to see which U.S. Presidents you are related to. Or, if you are related to anyone on the Mayflower! There's a search to see if you are related to any famous Americans! </div>

I'm sooo excited that my new teacher planner came this week! I went with a smaller planner by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/119316381/2014-2015-teacher-planner?ref=listing-20">Plum Paper Designs on Etsy</a> and I just LOVE it!! It is a bit smaller than my <a href="https://www.erincondren.com/">Erin Condren</a> planner that I bought last year, so I am thinking of using this one either for my guided reading groups or as my personal planner. I did love my Erin Condren planner and actually ordered one again for this year! I'll post when it comes in the mail!</div>

I am of no use to my family if I am not on my "A" game! The last several years my health and weight have fluctuated like the wind. This week I completed Week 1 of the <a href="http://wiodiet.com/">WiO Diet</a>. The nice part about this week is that no exercise was required!! The hardest part was going cold turkey off of all sugar and soda pop. I found that drinking orange flavored soda water helped curb my craving for pop, or drinking ice cold water…but it definitely was a challenge! My hubby is joining me on this diet, along with his parents, so having it be a family affair definitely helped get us through the cravings and wanting to cheat. I'm loving the taste of the chocolate shakes (3 times a day- breakfast, lunch and right before bed…dinner is a protein and salad) so that made it much easier to do. This is a 12 week program for Phase 1. Exercise starts this next week….wish me luck!!</div>

My Mom gave me this book over ten years ago and it is the book I turn to when I want to get my house clean and organized. The Fly Lady divides the house into 5 Zones and has checklists and tips for cleaning each zone. This last week I tackled Zone 1 and part of Zone 2. I cleaned and organized the backyard and shed and then I tackled deep cleaning the refrigerator. I wake up early in the mornings and just dedicate my mornings to cleaning. It doesn't look like much, but the shed was packed to the hilt with sleds, shovels and tools. And the refrigerator got the maaaajor overhaul!! Every shelf and drawer was removed and scrubbed. I even had my hubby pull out the fridge and I mopped and cleaned behind and underneath it! Here are some of the results:</div>

I started reading one of the required books that my principal gave us for summer reading. I LOVE this book! Eric Jensen is amazing anyway, and maybe it's because this topic is dear to my heart because I teach at low-income school, but I have been highlighting and re-reading this book! </div>

Yeeee haw!! We FINALLY got a new dishwasher!! It's been a long two years of washing dishes by hand!! We finally broke down and bought a new dishwasher and life has become that much more simplified! No more dirty dishes in the sink!! It's so fancy, I'm not sure what to do with myself! Our last dishwasher was over 20 years old! This one is so sleek and shiny!! And it's so dang quiet!! I LOVE!! (That's my cute little puppy, Bella, reflected in the photo!) Hey, any tips on keeping the stainless steel clean?? I have found wiping it down with a damp cloth and then drying it with a dry cloth works pretty well.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px;">It's SPRING!!! It is FINALLY here!!! Time to celebrate with a huge 20% off SALE in my TpT store and do a little Spring Cleaning as well!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px;">Last weekend the weather was warm and I caught the Spring Cleaning Fever!! I started some of my deep cleaning in my house…cleaning the windows and the blinds, scrubbing down the floors on my hands and knees with a rag, not just going over it with a mop, and wiping down all the baseboards. It was just a start, but wow, it sure made a difference!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px;">This weekend I'm focussing my Spring Cleaning on my TpT store and shopping cart! It's that time of year where I like to go back and clean up a few things! I'm linking up with Georgia Grown Kiddo's! Go check out her blog!!</span></span><br />

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px;">1) Go through all my prior purchases and make sure I leave a sweet comment in the store where I bought them from. This always makes me feel good letting people know how much I appreciated their hard work! And, bonus! I rack up points towards future purchases!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px;">Which leads me to #2!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 33px;">2) I am always adding items on TpT to my Wish List! During my Spring Cleaning, I open up that wish list and delete the items I really don't need and add those must have items to my shopping cart. I do this after I've commented and earned my points so when it is time to check out, I don't have to spend nearly as much $$!! Happy! Happy!</span></span></div>

How many of you are on Spring Break already? I have to wait until April for mine, (20 more days…but who's counting, right??) My adorable step-children have theirs in one week and I can't wait to see them and have them with us for the week! It stinks living two states away from them!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When is your Spring Break? What are your big plans?? Are you going on a trip anywhere fun? Or, are you hanging around home and working on a project or relaxing? I'm excited to hear what everyone is planning!</div>

Just one more day to enter my <a href="http://teachingfirst-abc.blogspot.com/2014/03/im-noticing-patternand-end-of-year.html">give away!! </a> If you are getting ready to review for testing in 2nd grade, this is a great review of all the common core standards. The winners will be announced tomorrow night!<br />

We have been writing informational stories in my class for the last few weeks. We have been going through all the different habitats. Our library has some books on animals, but not a ton.<br />
<br />
I love using <a href="http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/">NationalGeographicKids.com</a> as one of my go-to sources for my students to gather information on a wide range of animals. But, I was looking for kid-friendly non-fiction books that were on my second grader's reading level. I really wanted them to have something they could hold in their hands that they could read and reread. After a searching for awhile on Amazon.com I hit the jackpot!<br />

I absolutely LOVE these books!!! I've collected almost all of them!! (Being the children's book-aholic that I am!) Not only do I love these, but my students love them as well! These books are always the first ones to leave the bookshelf and as soon as they return another child is waiting to snatch it!<br />
<br />
I use these books along with a fabulous resource by Caitlin Hynst, from <a href="http://simply-second-grade.blogspot.com/">Simply Second!</a> I absolutely love her Animal Habitats packet! It has adorable posters for the habitats and a research and writing page for animals from each habitat.<br />
