I was CPR certified today.  I have such a sweet friend whose Dad teaches a class at Lipscomb.  She invited some of us to take the class for $4.  It was only the price of the card.  Normally, the class is like $96!!!! Score!  I feel so much more confident with my sweet girl and knowing what to do in an emergency.

September Currently!

I'm linking up with Farley for September's Currently!!!
 
Oh' boy fourth grade
 
 
Everything is pretty self-explanatory.. except the whole thinking part...  Yes, you read that right!  I will be teaching 3rd grade.  I'm doing it from home.  I was hired by K12 virtual academy to teach 3rd grade.  I'm excited about this new experience!  I cannot answer any questions about it, because I know nothing about it yet!! lol I have trainings all next week and I am incredibly excited to begin this new journey. 
 
I am getting my masters in instructional technology and it has helped open a few doors.  I know this is a God thing!  My husband and I took a big risk by me staying home.  I just knew if we trusted in his plan, whatever was best for our family would happen!
 
I didn't ask God for the job, but I asked him to make it clear what his plan was for me.  I heard about the opportunity and asked a girl (who teaches with K12) to email my resume.  I didn't seek them out, they called me!  It was clear then, that God had bigger plans for me! I don't know my schedule, and I'm sure it will be a big adjustment... But I wasn't ready to give up teaching completely.  I was hired to teach 3rd grade from the comfort of my own home.  I can't wait to begin this journey. 
 
I will continue creating activities for Kinders and Young Learners until I get a good grasp on the Common Core Standards for the big kids!  I hope you follow along my journey as I learn to teach virtually!!!
 
Have a wonderful "labor-free" day!

Interactive Science Journals for Young Learners

I am so excited to have finished my Interactive Science Journal Pack for young Learners.  This baby is stuffed full of a million different science prompts, pictures, activities and more!
 
I am so happy to be done with this huge project, because I just found out I am going to be working from home starting next week.  This will be a totally new adventure, but I'll explain that in a later post.
Click the picture to check it out!!!
 


I plan to do a few posts later on about some of the activities individually.  I promise this is one pack that is worth the $$$.  I wish I had this four years ago.  Many schools are dismissing science.  If we do this, what will happen to the doctors, lab techs, nurses, etc..?  This pack helps you bring science into the classroom while still including ELA.
 
 
If you're still with me........
I'd like to offer you a sample page from the pack.  You can use it when introducing how to use the hand lens/magnifying glass.
 
You can grab this little freebie by clicking the picture below.
Here's what it might look like in their Science journals:
 
 
I hope you have had a wonderful week!
Leave me some love if you grab my freebie.
 
Happy Friday!!!!
