Getting in gear

    Only a few more days left until Christmas break is over. I have definitely enjoyed my time off  but a part of me is ready to get back to the kiddos. We have two in service days which will fly by. So much to do so little time. Once we return it is full speed preparing for testing. In March our students take the ARMT Plus. Oh boy right?! Ive created a little review packet for some of the math skills that we should have mastered once returning from our break. Hopefully after refreshing their memory and doing a little practice we will remember EVERYTHING.... in a perfect world :) It's okay to dream right? I have just started my TPT store so below I am going to make an effort to link my new math skills packet. My first item is only $1.75! It has 7 GREAT review sheets for math skills!

Patience is a virtue

While thinking I was extremely lucky to find a teaching job only weeks after graduating mid-way through the year, I hadn't had a second to think about how I may be sitting here without a job at the beginning of the year. So now that I am struggling to find a teaching job, I have managed to find ways to stay busy in order to help with the  frustration. A friend of mine and I decided to start painting some old beat up wooden chairs we were given/bought and they actually turned out rather nice. We painted them with primer first, then we painted them with acrylic paint and put a gloss sealer on them.
