Hope you have had a wonderful February! Since it is February, I am posting my five favorite pins of this month. Here are my five favorite pins this month!

When to lesson plan
Planning · 5 comments
My first few years of teaching, I sat down for hours at a time, on Saturday or Sunday, and planned all my lessons for the next week…by hand.

During the weekend Like I wrote above, you could simply …

Fourth Grade Performance {Olivia's Birds}
Children's literature · Folk dancing · Programs · Songs · 10 comments
This past week, my fourth graders performed a program based on the book, "Olivia's Birds" by Olivia Bouler. The book is a really inspiring true story about an 11-year-old named Olivia who helped Audubon by donating her art to people who contributed to the Gulf Clean-Up Campaign. All of the art and text throughout the book is created by Olivia! Today, I'm blogging with a summary of songs and dances I used for the program, as well as scenery ideas and an idea for donating to Audubon! I did this program with fourth grade, but it could easily be adapted for third or fifth. Here ar…
