Sunday Scoop - 12/7/14


Happy Sunday! Here is my Sunday Scoop!
This week I am linking up with the gals from 


 Three things I have to do:
1.   I have to put my house together. We just got carpet in 6 areas of our house five bedrooms and the living room. So needless to say, I have a lot of furniture and stuff in the garage and patio that needs to go 
back in its place.


 2.   I have to write a practice test for my students on fractions. I am using NY engage math to do common core math, but I like to have a practice test so the students are prepared for the test. We are still learning how to do math with common core. My students still struggle sometimes with what they are being asked to do.

3.  Laundry not only my weekly clothes but linens and blankets. I have cleaned out rooms that stored some linens and blankets and I want to clean them before I put them back.

Two things I hope to do:
1.   Finish my TpT product I am working on right now. 
I am making a visual presentation for the book By the Great Horn Spoon. When I have read the book in the past, it helped students to have a slide show of vocabulary of words they didn’t really know. For example, I would put up pictures of paddle boats or pantaloons. Now I am going back and adding questions to the PowerPoint.

2.  I am hoping to have some extra time to read some books I bought. They are in Spanish. I am continuing to improve my Spanish so I become bilingual. The book sitting next to my bed is El Libro de la Vida (The book of Life). It is about a 3rd grade level just my speed. I know most of the words, but as I tell my students, reading improves vocabulary. So, that is what I am doing in Spanish.



One thing I am happy to do:
1.   This Wednesday for our staff’s professional development we are all going bowling. My principal is having us do team building by bowling and having pizza together. I am looking forward to having a good time with my colleagues. We are always talking and working together to help students. This will be a 
fun change.

Thanks for visiting! I hope you have a good week and Happy Holidays!

  3. Good luck getting everything back together. We need to replace carpet too, but not until our little one gets older! Thanks for linking up!
