I can't wait to post about my I Spy READING Club Flyers: Alphabet, Numbers & More. It was one of my first ever creations when I first started teaching. Stay tuned!

Page Badge Test

Promote Your Page Too The good news is that there always seems to be loads of fun things to add to this blog. The bad news is that I don't know where to put them, lol. What is a page badge anyways? Just working through the kinks and keeping it real.

EGG-CELLENT Spring Bulletin Board

What an excellent month!  I got to check off not one but 2 things from my bucket list.  Not only did I post my first freebie on TPT but I also posted my first product too!  Woo hoo...nothing like that feeling of following through. 

It's been such an adventure trying to figure things out.  I'm grateful to the experienced bloggers out there like Erica Bohrer who have posted such explicit explanations.  If you are new to TPT I highly recommend you check out her amazing post. 

I have quite a few TPT projects in the works and wasn't expecting to post a bulletin board idea but we recently made a collaborative one at my school for St-Patrick's Day and I loved the finished product and wanted to do something similar.  I had a vision of what I wanted but it didn't exist so I knew I'd have to make it.  I had naively (and I mean really, really naively) thought I could create something in less than an hour.  W.H.A.T_A_J.O.K.E!  I didn't keep track of how long it took me for my Egg-cellent craftivity but I'm thinking 5 hours.  How can that be?  You'd never know from looking. I mean, 5 hours for that?  Why yes, it's true.  People have told me that it will get easier and I'm sure it will but I am still a perfectionist and there's no cure for that.

My sweet son turned the big 5 this month too!  He has made me such a better person and teacher.  There's not a day that goes by that I don't thank the stars above for bringing him into my life.  His JK teacher pulled me aside after school to tell me what a happy boy he is and how much he's matured these last few months.  I couldn't agree more.  He actually asked to write the alphabet down today during center time.  My son writing the alphabet?  It's a dream come true for this proud teacher Mommy! 

Happy almost April friends!

Here's to 2014...may it be filled with nothing but health and happiness for all my friends, students and family.

Specifically I have a few professional goals I'd like to state while I feel motivated to do so.

Professional Goals for 2014

1) Create The Primary Patch blog (so it actually looks like a real blog)

2) Learn how to make products to sell. I have the ideas but don't know how to use my computer to its full potential...may a course or experienced blogger take pity on me and explain!  Pretty please universe send someone my way.

3) Take more time out of my day to listen to my students read their stories to me.

4) Write positive notes home to parents.

5) Create and sell a product on TPT. I swear I'll cry tears of joy when that happens!

 

I started the New Year on such a high note with the best friends a girl could ask for.  We all went over to a neighbour's house (this was the fifth year in a row).  It was filled with food, dancing, balloon displays, incredible cocktails and lots of fun.  There were 13 adults and 12 kids, or there abouts.  We all made it to midnight and then some!  Hope your NYE was as special as mine.
