7 more days to go!

I feel like the little engine that could ... I think I can, I think I can ...

For those of you already on summer break, I hope that you are having a fantastic, well-deserved break.  If you're like me ... we've got this - summer break is almost here!!!!

For a few weeks I have been receiving requests for updates to my FREE, EDITABLE calendar for 2017-18.  Good news ... it's finally posted!

You can find it HERE.

Enjoy and I'll be back in the near future with a new math activity that I've been working on. :)

Planning for next year ...

I'm planning for next year even though I still have 4 school days left of this one :)

Actually ... I'm not, but I've had a few requests for an update to my FREE EDITABLE calendar.  Sorry for the delay, I wanted to get mine back from Staples and check it over before I uploaded it.

So, for those of you on summer break, I hope you are relaxing and having one adventure after another!!!

You can download a copy HERE.  Enjoy and I promise to be back posting new products soon! I have some almost ready to post but just need the time, which I'll have lots of soon!. :)

One of my favorite treats!

First off ... I am not a food blogger  or a great cook) ... BUT ... everytime I make these muffins I think that I should share the recipe with you.  They are soooo easy and DELISH!!

I am enjoying one now as I admire (again!) my 2015-16 calendar which you can download HERE for FREE. It's also editable so you can personalize the cover and add text on any page. :)

Now, back to the treat, these muffins are made with a can of mandarin muffins making them so moist!

Mandarin Muffins

1 1/2 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup sugar

1 3/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp allspice

1/3 cup shortening

1 egg (slightly beaten)

1/4 cup milk

1 can mandarin oranges

Directions: Mix dry ingredients and cut in shortening. Mix egg and milk. Add to dry ingredients, along with oranges and juice. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Next time you are craving a little treat I guarantee you these will not disappoint!

Enjoy!

Non-Standard Measurement with Lego and a Freebie :)

Do your students love Lego?  Mine do and I love to find ways to use them in learning activities.

My newest learning pack which you can find HERE has students using building blocks to measure items in the classroom.  I have included an anchor chart to show how to use the blocks to measure, an 'I can' students instruction card, 16 task cards and a recording page.  All the pages are in both color and B&W.  Just print, add some building blocks and your math station is ready to go!

I've posted about building blocks (including a freebie) before.  You can read more about it HERE.

As always, I'd love to give a few of these away. The first 3 people who comment on this post with your email will receive a copy.

Are you getting ready for back to school?  If so, you might be interested in my editable 2015-2016 calendar that I have just posted in my store.  

Did I mention that it's editable? and free?

You can download a copy HERE.

Have a great weekend!
