Just Pinned: Crafts & More Crafts!

I hope everyone had a very merry holiday!!  I know I did.. it was my first Christmas with my new hubs, in our new home :)  We spent the last few days holiday-party-hopping between families, as we have every year since we started dating.  It was tons of fun!!


In what little downtime I've had over the last few days, I've been pinning like crazy... pinning from my Macbook, pinning from my iPhone, pinning from my iPad 2.... I wish, ha!


I found tons of cute ideas for Valentine's Day, like:

Christmas Tree Math


And this one, is an oldy, but goodie of mine. And it can be adapted to any way, shape, or form.
Come on over to The Teachers' Cauldron to see how I use these!


Hi all! I have been stuck in the house all day because the tree cutters are here. I had no idea it was an all day project! I had much to be doing other than sitting at home.

So in order to cure my boredom, I got busy with some math stations (among many other things).
I am working on a theme unit of penguins for our return in January. My kiddos have been working on comparing numbers, greater/less than, rounding to the nearest ten, and skip counting.
