Classroom Economy

I'm thinkin' that this blog is mostly for ME at the moment!  Found this really great idea online and I don't want to lose it, so I'm posting the link to it.  It's using economy in the classroom and I hope it works!  It looks so engaging!  Yea!!!!

This is a 3rd grade classroom in Troy, Michigan.  Her name is Beth Newingham.  I'm all about finding great ideas from other teachers.  Thanks Beth!  This gal has lots of great ideas and resources.

Summer Fun!

Hello! No one could have read my posts even if they wanted to until today! I guess you kind of have to have the settings correct for that! Went camping with the kids last weekend. The boys' first camping trip and with big brother at that! Woohoo! We took them fishing. First time! Their daddy brought out the fishing poles later this week and my 2-year-old threw a fit! Fissing pole! I want fissing pole! How precious! We couldn't go fishing until that night so we made our own fishing poles and fish! They played with them all day. Thank goodness this satisfied them!


Sweet brothers
