This has been out all week and yesterday, one of my little ones said, "Hey, there are letters in this stuff - how did you do that." This is pretty funny, especially since I told them at the beginning of the week. I guess we need to work on our listening skills, lol.</div>

I added pompoms, fish crackers, plastic green eggs and Seuss erasers (that I found at Target in the Dollar Spot). I am sure that this will be a bin that I will keep adding as I find goodies.<br />

We made these headbands for Dr. Seuss' birthday. It was the perfect project for my TK kids. The cutting was a little challenging, but most of them did great. We need more cutting practice.<br />

I used Melonheadz's new clipart, adorable. Then, we talked about patterns. One of them told his older brother, "I bet you didn't know, but this is an A-B pattern." I was in shock because he wasn't paying attention during the discussion - since he had just punched someone. It is good to know that they do listen.<br />

My son took us to Yard House for my birthday dinner. It was wonderful. You know that you have done something right as a parent, when you sit down at a nice restaurant and your adult son picks up the tab. I didn't want him too, but he did. I love getting a gift that involves spending time with someone that I love.</div>

My oldest grand daughter is in 6th grade. The student advisor asked me to help with the decorations for her 6th grade promotion dance. I, of course, said yes.</div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because my precious grand daughter is growing up. This girl is amazing and beautiful. I am so proud of her. </div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first conference project was inspired by Deanna Jump - Rainbow salt printing. Deanna had a friend that used a box lid then added construction paper and salt for writing. I liked the idea, but I had visions of the lid being dropped during transporting and the salt going everywhere. Plus, I was worried about storing the lid on a shelf.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided that I needed a container with a lid, so I went to Wal-mart to get a couple of containers. I thought I had the perfect size container not too big or too deep. The problem - I didn't check the inside of the container and I bought the divided containers, geez. I, really wanted to make it for my kids to use right away - so I checked the house and found two Ziploc containers that I could use. Of course, I couldn't find any construction paper in the house - so I scavenged through my scrapbook paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Total cost of the project - $.48 for the salt. Score.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Below are the directions for the project.</div>

First, I made a template of the bottom of the container and traced it on to black cardstock for a base. I thought it would be easier to attach the rainbow pieces to something.</div>

I found the middle and worked my way out. I tucked the pieces under the other color cardstock - so there were no gaps. I used scrapbooking adhesive squares because I wanted to be able to move it around a little when I was laying it out and tucking the paper underneath.</div>

This is what it looked like when it was finished sticking to the black piece. I turned it over so the black side was showing and cut off any of the color rainbow that was sticking over. Per Deanna's recommendation, I laminated it - so the salt wouldn't get in between the rainbow layers.</div>

I taped it to the bottom, but will probably end up gluing in down - not sure yet. Pour in the salt. I used about 1/2 the salt for both containers. If you put in too much salt, it is hard to move the salt around. I understand why she used the box lid - it gave them a bigger working surface to move the salt around. But, I still like the idea of not having the salt everywhere and the kids being able to manage this center on their own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
I gave them a small paintbrush to write in the salt with. They enjoyed writing in the salt. I will probably make letter and word cards for them to copy in the salt. They were super quiet when they were playing with this center. Cleanup was easy, they put the brush in the container and made sure that they snapped the lid on tight.<br />
<br />
I noticed that I had a pin on my Pinterest page where they put the salt into a pencil box. This idea would work that way too - but I didn't have any pencil boxes at home. I couldn't wait to get it made for the kids. I will probably try that idea, too.<br />

I just got home from the Southern California Kinder Conference. Oh my gosh, it was so much fun. I'm not sure if I had more fun at the conference or hanging out with my teaching buddy. There were a lot of great speakers, including Deanna Jump. I went to one of her presentations and got so many good ideas that I can use with my TK kiddos. My mind is spinning with all the possibilities for my class. Hubby picked me up from my teaching bud's house and I made him take me straight to Wal-mart. </div>

This was our view at lunch - Pasadena City Hall. I love old buildings and wanted to get a closer look. There was an antique store across from the Conference, so we checked that out last night. I was able to find a couple more brooches for my niece - they were beautiful. </div>

Cinderella's Work Apron. My girls love them, one of the boys was wearing the apron during kitchen time, this week. He told me that I needed to make some guy aprons - maybe I will get to it this weekend.</div>

I made another flannel board activity. The little people were matching the crayons to the color words. We had lots of sounding out and talking going on in the room. It was a great activity for my TK kiddos.</div>

We are getting ready for Open House in March and doing an animal around the world theme. We made these huge Pandas when we did Chinese New Year. They each have their own personalities. A couple of them at the top are zombie Pandas, according to one of my little ones - we forgot the white part of the eyes.</div>

I got so excited when I saw this brooch, it is perfect for the bouquet. I did go over my spending limit on this one, because I had to have it. I found other ones, but I needed to start with this one. I sent my niece a picture from the store and she fell in love with it. It is about 3 inches tall. It is going to be hard giving this one up.</div>

I, also, found some old keys for her wedding. She wanted to use them for the table seating tags. Of course, we saw the idea on Pinterest. I think these are going to be a little harder to find.</div>

I am kinda of obsessed with making sensory boxes. My mind has been spinning all weekend with all the different boxes I can make. These are the reasons:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. The little people love them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. I enjoy making the little people happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. My classroom is quiet when they are playing with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Hubby and I get to go hunting for different things to put in the boxes - which always</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
includes lunch together after.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is how I dye my rice for my containers. There are a lot of different ways, but this is what works for me.</div>

You will need a measuring cup, measuring spoons, a gallon ziploc bag, food color paste, rubbing alcohol, bowl, 2 - 5 lb bags of white rice (cheap is good), paper towels and cookie sheets or baking pans (for drying).</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take the ziploc bag and put it inside a big bowl. A 5 pound bag has about 10 cups - so I just pull out 2 cups and set aside (I will use this later). Then, I add the rest of the rice bag, about 8 cups, to the ziploc bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
**Do not put all 5 pounds of rice in the gallon ziploc bag. It fits, but you can't mix it. I tried, lol. You could use a bigger bag, but I didn't want to go to the store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To the rice, I add 3 Tablespoons of rubbing alcohol and 30 drops of food coloring liquid paste (this will give it a nice rich color). You can always add more if you want the rice to be darker. </div>

When you get it all mixed together - leave it sit for about 10 minutes, so the color soaks in a little.</div>

Lay paper towels in your drying container and dump the rice in. I use about 4 to 5 containers for all the rice. You don't want the rice layer to be to thick. It will dry faster. The weather in California has been so nice, so I set mine outside for a couple of hours to dry. You can dry them overnight inside too.</div>

To dye the other 4 cups of rice, I added 1 Tablespoon of rubbing alcohol and 12 drops of color. I am going to use this smaller batch in a smaller container and make it a color box. So, I would add all sorts of blue things that I can find around the house, at school or from new purchases. I want to make it an "I Spy Color Box".</div>

Woo hoo, it is Friday or I mean Saturday - since I was too tired to finish this post last night. I am linking up with <a href="http://doodlebugsteaching.blogspot.com/2014/02/five-for-friday-linky-party-february.html">Kacey</a> for the linky party this week.</div>

I survived my first Valentine's Day in TK. It was a lot of fun. There are some things I wish I added to the day and need to make a note for next year. The kids loved it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a Valentine sensory box using the rice that I dyed from Christmas. I hit Target for all the goodies. My little people enjoy playing with these boxes, it is encouraging me to make more.</div>

Chinese New Year is on Friday, so I updated my little Chinese New Year book. It is a simple - fill in the blanks book and has vocabulary cards and a true/false test. Another grade for the grade book. My kiddos really enjoyed it last year.</div>

My brother received an award from the Mayor of our City for his 30 years of military service. My brother lives in Colorado and had come down for Christmas. The Mayor presented him the award at our Church. She listed all of his tour of dutys, some of them I didn't know he did. He retired in July because of medical or he would probably still be enlisted. Too many times jumping out of airplanes caused injury to his back. Our Care Pastor is on the left. </div>

When my brother joined the service, out of high school, our original Pastor gave him the bible that he carried during the Korean War as a Chaplain. My brother said that he took it with him on every mission and it gave him peace and kept him safe. There was not a dry eye in the building.</div>

I went to Disneyland, 3 times this week. One trip with hubby and two trips without him. He got that nasty flu that is going around, I decided to head to Disneyland - so I wouldn't get it. Plus, I wanted to take pictures of certain things. Find out about it <a href="http://allabouttheears.blogspot.com/">here</a>.</div>

Well, I survived Day #3 of training, woo hoo. Only, 2 more days. I love to go to conferences, I always learn new things. These days have been long, almost painful. The days have consisted of a lot of research reading and not a lot of actual classroom practice. But, this is what I have learned...</div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't enjoy reading research articles for hours at a time.</div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you sit in the back of the room, you can plan lessons, while everyone else is reading the research articles.</div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do enjoy looking at other teachers' classrooms and seeing what works.</div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't like clap, clap, clap - to get my attention. I probably won't be doing that with my babes anymore.</div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If, I am not engaged - then I am bored. I'm sure my little ones feel the same way. So, I will be doing less talking and more interacting with them.</div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I can't believe that it is 2014. I, also, can't believe that my break is over - sorta of. We have had furlough days for the last couple of years, but after the school year started - they decided to give us back our days. They couldn't change the student calendar, so we have a week's worth of training this week. I miss getting out of my pjs so early, but if I survive this week of meetings - then I get 3 whole weeks off. I have never been off in January before, it feels a little strange. Hubby has been making a list of things he would like to do on my time off. Lucky for me, all of it should be fun. </div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am linking up with <a href="http://doodlebugsteaching.blogspot.com/2013/12/five-for-friday-linky-partydecember-20th.html">Kacey</a> for Five for Friday. I am on vacation, woo hoo. Two weeks for Winter Break, one week of furlough meetings, then three weeks off - so excited. I am a little bummed that my Disney passes are blocked until January 5, sigh.</div>

Hubby and I spent two days at Disneyland - celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We had soooo much fun. This is the second marriage for both of us, so it is pretty impressive that we made it to this special year. Or at least the wedding stats for second marriages say.</div>

I asked my sons to meet us at Disneyland on Sunday. I, really, wanted a family picture in front of the Disney tree and pictures of the grandbabes with Santa. My boys made it happen, for me. I was missing one son because he lives in Washington State and one grandchild. It took a lot of work trying to coordinate everyone, but I was super happy that we pulled it off.</div>

My anniversary present from hubby was a "Walk in Walt Disney's Footsteps" tour. Oh my gosh, it was wonderful. We got to go inside the lobby of Club 33. The history that our guide shared with us was amazing. We, also, got to go inside his apartment. It was the perfect present for me. <br />

I have been working on some little Santa hats for one of my Christmas trees. It just makes me happy. I bought some really cute fuzzy pom poms for the top of the hats, but I can't find any of my glue guns - I have 4 of them. I need to check school.<br />

I took my granddaughter to Disneyland and we had this photo taken. It is called a Magic Shot. She was so willing to pose for the picture, then the photographer added the balloons. We, also, had one taken where Tinker Bell sits in your hand. You can read more about it <a href="http://allabouttheears.blogspot.com/2013/11/magic-shots-disneyland.html">here</a> on my Disney blog.<br />

The twins were dedicated at church on Sunday. For some reason, I couldn't pull it together. I was very emotional and couldn't stop crying. I am so blessed to have such beautiful grandkids - inside and out. I am so lucky to have a set of twin granddaughters.</div>

I hope you have a wonderful, relaxed weekend. I have started decorating the house for Christmas - I love Christmas. I am not a huge fan of Thanksgiving, so I kinda of skip decorating for that holiday. But, I do love being around my family. I am planning on getting some crafting done and maybe a trip to Disneyland. </div>

One of my students' dad is a fireman, so I asked him to come to school to talk to the kids last month. He did a great job. He was there for over an hour. He talked to them about fire safety, emergencies, when to call 911 and when not to call 911.</div>
<div align="center">

<div style="text-align: center;">
He put on all his gear, explaining to the kids - what each piece of equipment was for. The kids were totally engaged in his speaking.</div>

He showed them the air tank and explained how it works. Every single valve.</div>

Then, we played dress up with a few of the kids. They loved this part.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
He told the kids that they needed to have good grades, to learn their sight words, learn to read to so they could grow up to be whatever they wanted to be in life. He was amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember the part where I told you that he talked about the reasons to call 911. He talked about all the reasons to call 911 and it was for serious reasons. He told them exactly what the operator would say. Well, one of my partner's students decided to call and she dropped the phone when she heard the operator. The mom had no idea that she had called - except when the policeman started walking around her house trying to get in. The parents came to school and my partner told them exactly what was said - they laughed. The best part was the fire fighter walked with us on the field trip and had a little talk with the girl. Priceless.</div>

I have been such a bad blogger - but I have an excuse. Life has been crazy at school and at home. Here is a little recap.</div>

Eight trips to Disneyland to hang out with my kids and grandkids. Most of the trips were just for a couple of hours. It was a wonderful break.</div>

But, the best thing about October - my hubby is now home permanently - I am a happy girl.</div>

I am linking up with <a href="http://missnelsonsgotthecamera.blogspot.com/2013/09/candy-galore-and-saturday-snaphots.html">Michelle</a> for Saturday Snapshots on Monday. I was really sad to leave hubby and Hawaii. It is hard leaving someone that you love so much. But, I feel the same way when I leave the grand babies when I go to Hawaii - so it is hard.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This trip was amazing, I was able to do so many different things. I saw the most amazing double rainbow before I left. I was able to see the whole arch. It was so big and very bright, that I wasn't able to photograph the whole thing.</div>

3. I buy most of my yarn from a person in Colorado. She hand dyes all her yarn. Every summer, she has a Summer Love Contest - she picks 4 to 5 pictures then dyes them in yarn. She picked my picture this summer. On the left is a picture, I took, of one of my dad's artichokes in bloom and the right is the picture of the yarn that she dyed. I am going to knit a shawl with my yarn.</div>

All that stuff at the back of the room needs to be put away. Bulletin boards need border and goodies. But, I don't have to do it. The new teachers rotating into my room have to get the room ready.

So, I have the months of September, January and May off.</div>

I am linking up with Michelle for <a href="http://www.missnelsonsgotthecamera.blogspot.com/2013/08/saturday-snapshots_24.html">Saturday Snapshots</a>. I am a day late this week, but yesterday I spent the day in the car. I drove two hours for a family baby shower, three hours for the baby shower and three hours home in traffic. I despise driving, especially in traffic.</div>

I didn't take any photos of my classroom....none. We had our art program on Friday and I forgot my camera. I guess I am gearing up for my month break, woo hoo.</div>

I love my morning coffee. I quit drinking coffee for a couple of months, but morning didn't seem the same. I get up at 3:30, so I can do school work or be creative. This is my newest project.</div>

Every Tuesday, I pick up an organic food basket from local growers. It is a reasonable price and the veggies and fruits are so yummy. This last week, I got a container of figs. I have never tasted figs before. Oh my gosh, they were so good. I ate them with some cheese. I need to figure out some recipes for them.</div>
