Back to School Night...</h2>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We all love the parent who sweeps into the room with the bouquet of flowers and the basket of chocolate truffles to say "Hey, I'm glad your going to have Julia in your class and let me know if I can help in anyway!" Love them, love them, love those parents!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<h2>
And then there are the parent complaints....</h2>
Here are some things that can help the relieve the occasional parent meltdown on Parent Night (which is quite embarrassing for you and the other parents in the room).<br /><h3>
1. School supplies are way cheaper in August so we ask the parents to bring them in and we store them even if means putting a plastic bin in the middle of my living room...</h3>
<h3>
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">2. The pencils don't last that long and the other supplies don't either. There is a reason for this. Which leads me to my third point.</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
</div>
<h3>
3. School supply manufactures have made materials very cheap so the materials aren't lasting very long. I have noticed a difference over the last 10 years. Glue is short filled. The paper and folder paper is thinner. Plastic folders are the way to go now. </h3>
Shake a pencil. Hear that??? It's broken graphite. So your child is going to go through pencils rather quickly.<br />
<h3 style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
4. It will be okay if you didn't find or purchase the name brand fancy schmancy brand I requested. I just know from experience that brand I requested last longer and I won't be bugging you in January for a new set of crayons/ binder/ paper or what not.</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
5. The supplies are for your child not the staff. I need chocolate, K cups, chocolate, Advil, chocolate, soda pop and CHOCOLATE to get through my day. I didn't add it to your list (this year).</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfv0WP1r8r64wiRqVRjJnaPnthlyfmVh6qVI8VNYgnSmbIFzV2JmKqvoEKwrsNqSYNySF-_0wi1-prTkMEgNE33c5ofEuO8q8T4LX8I-YqnoKLEATVkCPz4wv2Rts6HEOGpfW5pyI62qyW/s1600/praline-17-94.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfv0WP1r8r64wiRqVRjJnaPnthlyfmVh6qVI8VNYgnSmbIFzV2JmKqvoEKwrsNqSYNySF-_0wi1-prTkMEgNE33c5ofEuO8q8T4LX8I-YqnoKLEATVkCPz4wv2Rts6HEOGpfW5pyI62qyW/s320/praline-17-94.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
6. You could ask that the school to purchase the supplies next year but I can only imagine it will raise your tax dollars.</h3>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
7. Lastly, If you have a financial need I WILL provide your child with what they need to learn. I save up for such circumstances. Usually I kick in a $1000 or $2000 per year. Some donors in my community also provide for students that have financial need.</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Somehow we will all make through the year with enough pencils and chocolate.</h3>

Homemade Laundry Detergent. Soooo Easy Phosphate free :)<!-- Signature -->

<div align="center">

<div style="font-size: 26px; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Musings, ideas, projects, thoughts....on life, family, home, shopping and classrooms. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 24px;">
Summertime means project time around the house and for school. Boy, I have plenty planned. From soap making to painting. From name tags to reading passages.</div>
<div style="font-size: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 24px;">
LAUNDRY DETERGENT {Easy~Phosphate Free Suds}</div>
<span style="font-size: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 24px;">So let's get started with some good clean fun! A few years back my daughter had a lot of skin issues and the phosphates in the detergents were clearly the issue ....Then I stumbled upon this {hmmm....Looks like something I can share with friends}. Here is my soapbox (aka pet food dispenser) from Walmart. You can see how much I used over the </span><span style="color: #0957a2; font-size: 24px;">last two years</span><span style="color: #502b7b; font-size: 24px;">.</span><span style="font-size: 24px;"> That's just a little crazy I think. The container wasn't even full to the top! Now granted I only have a family of three but my daughter is a teen and might change 2 or 3 times each day depending on what activities or whims she might inspire her to do so :/</span><br />
<div style="font-size: 24px;">

<div style="font-size: 24px;">
Once everything was made I think it was a whoppin' $25!</div>

I think it is time replenish so I don't run out during the school year and there is no way I am buying detergent ever again and get taken to the laundry ;) ! </div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
So here is what I need to make the magic happen:</div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
3 Bars or Fels Naptha</div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
2 Cups or Washing Soda</div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
2 Cups of Borax:</div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
Here's how to make some suds:</div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
Microwave 3 bars of Fels Naptha (2 min per bar) Crazy I know but just do it.</div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
Grate soap in a blender.</div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
Dump soap in a bowl and mix in 2 cups of washing soda and 2 cups Borax.</div>
<div style="font-size: 23px;">
<br /></div>

No phosphates! 3 cent per load. Works great! I use it on floors, the car...you name it! Give it a try and let me know what you think! I can't wait to hear from you!</div>

Hello Everybody,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This winter I started making LIFESAVERS. It is a line of <b>daily lesson plans that can be used by substitutes and classroom teachers when there is an emergency</b>... IT HAPPENS TO US ALL!. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I usually don't get sick. My body has had every childhood illness early in my career and now I am pretty much in the clear. So I thought....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I forgot it could HAPPEN TO ME until this week when my upper respiratory infection became three days of laryngitis! I was really grateful for my own <b>Substitute Lesson Plans</b> I was really out of it and there was no way I could plan for this week of health mayhem.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I slept for about 36 hours straight and am feeling much better and I can TALK! To celebrate my good health I am have a <b>$1.00 SALE on my LIFE SAVER PACKS this weekend at TPT. I place my bundles on SALE as well...So we can really get this party rolling!</b></div>

<b>FEELING CRAFTY... SCHEDULE CARDS AND SIGNS!</b></h2>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello Everybody,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Every once in a while I get to feeling a little crafty and then I have make something for the classroom. I always think that my classroom is my home away from my own house. I want it to be comfy and attractive.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of the things I struggle with is trying to remember when the students are supposed to be at specials. It tends to change frequently and then I just get confused. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are so many cute little chalkboard products out there right now. They seem to fit every style. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>If you are into the retro look chalk boards fit. </li>
<li>If you like traditional classroom chalkboards fit! </li>
<li>If you like contemporary trends, just add some chevron stripes and chalk boards fit! </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Me?? I like bright colors so I added som bright ric-rack and buttons with a hot glue gun. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The whole project took me 15 minutes to complete</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've seen mason jars, clothespins and just plain old slates. How perfect for things that change often. I can use them over and over. Just erase, write and go!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is my latest artsy-crafty endeavor. I hope they inspire you to craft away an afternoon or to put the idea away for summer vacay!</div>

Of course, having my teacher supply e-stores has led me to be an avid digital scrapper. Last year I teamed up with Libby Pritchett and created schedule cards that have digital scrapping elements rather that clip art. Here are examples of the final project. I laminated my cards so I could program the times ( If I remember them !) Here's what the final product looks like:</div>

Substitute teachers are super (superheroes –really!). Substitute teachers are crucial to quality education for all students. Here are my top reasons why I appreciate and truly admire all of the substitutes I have worked with:</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', Helvetica, Arial; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', Helvetica, Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Substitute teachers follow the lessons that I provide. However, they put their expertise and personality into the lesson. The students look forward to the unique perspectives that guest teachers bring to the classroom.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Substitute teachers hone the craft of teaching. They can “read” student needs quickly and differentiate for individuals and learning styles so that all children can learn and succeed.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Substitute teachers have incredible classroom management skills. They grasp onto classroom routines and the big ideas of lessons with lightning speed so that students understand concepts and learn in a safe and orderly environment.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Substitute teachers are remarkably flexible. The can adapt to changes in plans and diversion with ease and a smile!</li>
</ul>

<b>Hi Everybody!</b><br />
<b>I don't know about you but getting ready for a sub to take the reins in my classroom is a big ol' bummer! ...and frankly being a sub has it's challenges too! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The classroom teacher thinks, "Not only will I be out of the room. I will lose prep time... Prep time to get ready for the sub and prep time on the day that I am out. Then the kids lose instructional time away from me too. How can I make learning meaningful and engaging for my students? How can I quickly prepare for the sub without forfeiting my prep time for the week?" Hmmmmm.....</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It isn't a cake walk for the sub either! I used to be a sub. </b><b>Walking into someone else's classroom is like strolling into an airport in a foreign country. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The substitute teacher thinks, " Quick read the lessons, find the materials, figure out where to pick up the students, Can I go to the bathroom? Where is the bathroom? I will try to answer student and parent questions but clearly I have my own questions!! "</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>This year I made a binder for my sub......It is a survival guide and it is chocked full of things that the sub needs for the day. There are classlists, parent phone numbers, procedures, location of materials, staff phone numbers, emergency lesson plans, etc. etc. etc in a one binder. All of this is editable so I can change the information from year to the next. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I also get bored... I love all things pretty and cute. So I made lots of different binder covers so that I switch them out each year. While I was at it I decided that maybe I would like an editable lesson planner for myself. I would be very organized then!!!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So I made a few different products to smooth the over the planning bumps~ These are the products that I offer:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Editable substitute binder</b><br />
<b>Editable substitute and Lesson planner ( featured here )</b><br />
<b>Full color substitute binder</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I also started making LIFESAVERS! NO PREP LESSON PLANS FOR THE SUBSTITUTE OR FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY" </b><b>All you need to do is to download the file, send it to your sub and your students will have worthwhile of engaging activities with minimal materials to scout out and prepare.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>You can find this product at Teachers Pay Teachers, Teacher's Notebook and my newest e-store at Teachwise. Click on the cover and you will be led to the Teacher's Notebook site where the product is on sale this week.</b><br />

Hi There!<br />
Spring has sprung! Ithink ?? In Wisconsin it'll be a frigid 40 degrees this week (really??) I didn't make a bird project like I thought I would, instead I made a ladybug project! They are really easy to do and will be so cute on a bulletin board.<br />
<br />
So here's how to make these cute little bugs:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1. Trace a paper plate on white construction paper. <br />
2. Make a little arc for the head. Put it aside.<br />
3. Add spots ... the kids can use bingo markers or I use a scrapbooker's paper punch to make circles. <br />
(I can't believe that I used to cut and trace all those little circles).<br />

4. Glue a black pipe cleaner down the middle and the spots too.<br />
5. Cut a red cellophane circle that is the same size as the white construction paper circle.<br />

Hi There,<br />
<br />
If you're like me you just can't sit still for long. I am on Spring Break (no vacation for me...boo!) and I feel the need to repurpose some old overalls.<br />
<br />
So... what could be cuter than making a classroom helper station. I wish I could give credit where it is due but I can't remember what or who inspired me!<br />
<br />
Hmmm.... It will come to me and then I'll repost this again. So here is how you make these Handy Dandy {and Oh So "CUTE as a Button" overalls}.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiir794rFTvXBSl9W4ag8mBNTZ-BhMA2wCNpgVFG7YLrQDZPIc8sV7LW1fwRwykZrBtLMzwCPlZXO_mlh0EDzzkCdh78WdWO6qWzU4LVqv9iM91YZ9MU0t14xMQB3raZvScsUkU9YvzQ-d1/s1600/1158.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiir794rFTvXBSl9W4ag8mBNTZ-BhMA2wCNpgVFG7YLrQDZPIc8sV7LW1fwRwykZrBtLMzwCPlZXO_mlh0EDzzkCdh78WdWO6qWzU4LVqv9iM91YZ9MU0t14xMQB3raZvScsUkU9YvzQ-d1/s1600/1158.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You'll need:<br />
An old pair of kids' overalls<br />
A bunch of 2"X 2" gingham squares<br />
A thin tipped permanent marker<br />
Colored permanent markers<br />
Fabric glue<br />
An old wooden hanger<br />
Clothespins (one for each student)<br />
<br />
Step 1. Iron the overalls<br />
Step 2. Write the classroom jobs on the gingham swatches with the permanent marker. You can add little stitches around the edges too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP2gy4P5DL6IDF6Olucnn02BFon-UPGf0Nc4U_RAYJ7ia-KooLXvRPAJOZe4uVq8LxZUGLiy-ZAER1cT9DSjbtq8yju3Ubnjd1c-_kUQ4EbuyQRP_Da92Y16THTBgoQPQGmB6FnDF_Vc9v/s1600/1154.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP2gy4P5DL6IDF6Olucnn02BFon-UPGf0Nc4U_RAYJ7ia-KooLXvRPAJOZe4uVq8LxZUGLiy-ZAER1cT9DSjbtq8yju3Ubnjd1c-_kUQ4EbuyQRP_Da92Y16THTBgoQPQGmB6FnDF_Vc9v/s1600/1154.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 3. Glue the swatches onto the overalls. I also put cardboard in the legs of the overalls to make them stiff and flat.<br />
<br />

Assign some jobs. The kids REALLY love to help and it will save you lots of time!.. Usually be the end of the year I have the kids doing much of the work around the classroom. I just teach and do the administrative duties.<br />
<br />
This is my SPRING BREAK SURPRISE!!! <br />
I installed this little house on the facade of my new house . It is actually designed to hold a garden hose. But look what I found today....(I love birds, they remind me of my Dad).<br />

I am thrilled! {although the eggs are a little close to the front door} and am inspired to work on some sweet little bird activities. But I better hurry; there aren't too many weeks left to the school year so I did make a NEW NO-PREP Pack. I can't wait to use these activities. These printables will make the end of the year a breeze.........<br />

Hi There!<br />
<h3>
Who wants some sketti and meatballs?</h3>
<br />
Each spring I teach an assigned weather unit to my students. It is by far my favorite science unit to teach but I felt I needed to "SPICE IT UP" a little bit. So I "cooked up" a new unit introduction. On my menu were activities that included: a fun anchor chart / word bank, a yummy art and writing project, literature and and a lesson on alliteration.<br />
<br />
Whew! Time to get out of the kitchen! The kids had a <strike>meat</strike>BALL! So here is their recipe for some classroom fun!~<br />
<br />
1. We brainstormed all the words that we knew that go with eating a delicious bowl of steaming spaghetti. We heaped all the students' great ideas onto an anchor chart. Then we uses a meatball pointer to read all those juicy words.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
2. I ran home on my lunch hour and boiled us up some spaghetti to eat and to use in a sticky art project (thank goodness I work and live in the same small town!). If you try this art project in your own classroom buy the cheapest, carb-i-est pasta you can find. Don't rinse it because the starch will form a great paste! ICK!<br />
<br />
We made these cute little spaghetti loving people and the kiddos wrote about how they dig into a bowl of spaghetti using lots of signal words at the beginning of the sentences. We added a fork in the hand, a real napkin, and some real spaghetti hence using the sticky, cheap, starchy, brand. We let the mess dry over night and then we painted the pasta and forks with red paint.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
3. We also read, and sang and giggled our way through the book, <i>On Top of Spaghetti</i> by Paul Brett Johnson. We found instances of illiteration in the book and the made our own rendition of the song (full of lots examples of illiteration of course)!<br />

<br />
Next week right before SPRING BREAK (<strike>Hooray!!!</strike>) We'll relax with a movie ~ <i>Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!</i><br />
Enjoy the spring weather everybody. Carry an umbrella and watch out for meatball sized hail!<br />
<br />
Until next time.....<br />

<br />
Here's what is going on this week in my classroom. It is Math - Hop Day! I like to have a special froggie math day in between units. My kids just love doing art projects and it is so sweet when we can combine a project and some math facts together.<br />
<br />

Here's our crazy frog friend that we will make. We put the sums on his hands and then the addition facts are on his accordian folded arms and legs. We give him some googly eyes made of cotton balls that are just looking for some flies to munch on (bluch) and a tongue to catch them....<br />
<br />
There is so much more to frog day than meets to googly eyes of the critter project! The kids make a counting wand and practice skip counting by 2, 3, 5, 10's. We practice counting lilypads and on the number line. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Has anyone used Google Hangouts? I had a training from home this week... and what fun did I have!! There I was~ sitting on my couch (in recline position) with my laptop balanced on my knees all ready to learn a new skill that would launch me into techno-greatness. Then the camera switched to give all the participants a grand view of my winter legs (just use your imagination) and my feet. I couldn't switch views no matter what I did. So flipped the whole machine and in the process I shut off the microphone. Not wanting the other participants (co-workers and ADMINISTRATORS) to view my feet or my head bobbing up and down I did what I had to do...I bailed. I shut off the computer and pleaded power failure. Yikes! I don't think I'm ready to take classes in the virtual world unless I can wear cute sandals and have a fresh pedi!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On to things that I am good at {ANCHOR CHARTS}</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Who doesn't like oh- so- cute anchor charts for the classroom? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I got some handy dandy new technology for Christmas that will enable me to color graphics. So...This week I started to trace over my illustrations that I use on my own anchor charts and color them with my new software. They aren't perfected quite yet but they are sweet enough to share with my followers! The first one I made goes with Barbara Henessey's <u>Road Builders</u>. The freebie has a worksheet and both black/white and colored versions of the graphics. You can Grab your at TeachersPayTeachers.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hello Friends,</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I'm back!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I have been gone for a long time. I know. I just disappeared off the face of the blogging world. In the meantime my family moved. My husband was required to live in a certain municipality for his job. When that ruling was dismissed we moved to the community where we have done most of our living, working and schooling. In essence we moved HOME.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span> <br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We bought a simple little ranch house right in the middle of the neighborhood where I work. No more schleppin' through the snow {commuting} for me. What is best my daughter's best friend lives on the same block. ALL of her friends are nearby. That's what we want for kiddos ~ community and socialization. It has been bliss!</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span> <br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Moving is not bliss and the whole process took an entire year. Selling, shopping, inspecting, buying, packing, moving, unpacking, and some renovating {whew!} It's over and of course I never want to do it again. And now, I am back and ready to write, create and start anew!</span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></span> <br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am back with a new name and logo. I am now </span><u style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Primary Reader</u><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. I have a new facebook page with lots of FREEBIES.

<div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I am glad to be back and will blogging to you soon!</span></div>
