Yummy Broccoli Cheese Soup and digital planning! Yikes!

Hello friends. Did you survive Halloween? It is kind of exhausting to me . . .and then we have the problem of the leftover candy which is a problem for my Weight Watchers Points!!! Speaking of points, we recently found a great recipe that is really low in points (only 2 per cup) but really tasty!! It is Broccoli Cheese Soup.

I made it for a school luncheon recently and lots of people want the recipe.

I started something new and daring this week. (daring for me anyway!) I started trying out digital lesson plans on the Planbook.com site. I have always been very traditional about a paper and pencil plan book, so we will see how this goes. I like the idea of being able to attach documents and links. Here is a screenshot of what I have done for next week so far,

I also love that there is a notes section for each subject/time so that I can type out details for a substitute one time and never have to again. I will give you a report next week and let you know how it is working out!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner?

Today, I decided to make a few new writing forms. . .it's always fun to have a change . . .and my class definitely notices.

Happy Monday! I mentioned in an earlier post that I found a really awesome big wooden sign at Tai Pan Trading that says "Work Hard and Be Nice." I hung it on my classroom door. I think I is just perfect for first graders! I decided to make a little one that I could put it an 8 X 10 frame. The cute clip art border is from The 3 AM Teacher. . .Have you started school yet? We just finished our third day of school. My legs and feet are tired! (Plus the weather here has been HoT. I am so glad that they say it is to be cooler starting Wednesday. :)

After framing, I added a cute 3D scrapbook embellishment on the outside of the glass in the area of the word  "Be". 

A mailbox solution I love, word art and fun books!

Happy Monday EvErYOne! I am so excited about my new classroom mailboxes! I have tried a variety of different types over the years and would end up replacing them or having to tape them back together. I finally found some that I love! They are sturdy, a good height for the children AND they. are. black. WOOHOOO! The color that I have been searching for. . . from Staples Online. Item #680252
