<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This poor post is so long overdue. Four months late, but here are costumes from our Spring Middle School musical. Let's pretend it's March. In that case, next week is Spring Break! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hyenas- these grey vests started out as lost boys outfits from Peter Pan then were adapted into Seussical costumes, and now came out for their third and final time. I really roughed them up, added swatches of fur and black paint. I also bought the 'fur' at the thrift store. I really felt like I had to explain my recent purchases. I've actually gotten to know some of the people there and they love to see my after photos. </span></div>

It was on a rope first but the kids struggled to get it off and on as needed during the show. I made a necklace with the strongest magnets from the classroom as the closure. It worked beautifully. </span></div>

There's a theme running here. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I did a round of 21-day eating- which is through Beach Body and is basically low carb, low dairy, sugar-free. So it's over and all I could think about was chocolate cake. And it was delicious. </span><br />

But this is yummy, and that generally takes precedent. A friend of mine said finding the best chocolate chip cookie recipe was on their family's summer bucket list. They'd tried 7 different recipes but still felt like there was something else out there.<br />
<br />
Then I stumbled on a recipe that might just be it. I was really trying to eat healthy this week. Instead, I've consumed a lot of cookies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Get your butter (so much butter) and your chocolate chips- we're making summer bucket chocolate chip cookies! This is adapted from a recipe in a new book called So Much to Celebrate by Katie Jacobs.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Summer Bucket Chocolate Chip Cookies</b></u><br />
1 1/4 C (2 1/2 sticks) butter- softened (Unsalted? Salted? Whatever... I always err towards salted!)<br />
1 c white sugar<br />
1 1/4 C brown sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
2 t vanilla (Mexican if you can)<br />
1 1/2 t salt<br />
1 1/4 t baking soda<br />
1 1/2 baking powder<br />
3 1/2 C flour<br />
3/4 bag or about 8 oz chocolate chips- semi-sweet, please<br />
<br />
Get out that electric mixer and using the paddle, cream butter and both sugars. Mix on a middle setting for about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, then mix them up too. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients. Add those to the wet mix all at once. Mix up until it's looking like cookie dough. Add the chips and mix just until they're incorporated. Cover up the bowl (after you have a good taste- let's assume we all used quality eggs) and stick it in the fridge until the next day. Then scoop out round balls of dough and bake @12-14 minutes at 350. I am a baking stone girl, but you do as you please. Don't over bake. They will still look soft. Let them cool a bit, like 10 minutes still on the tray and then move to a wire cooling rack or right to your plate. Whatever floats your boat. It's nice having the dough in the fridge because you can make up a few at a time (like when the kids go to bed and you need to sit in quiet and eat fresh cookies without sharing- I mean for portion control). This makes up about 4 dozen cookies (but really, it's hard to keep track since they don't still on the cooling rack for long at my house).<br />

I've always found that boys really hang on the bullying and teasing theme in the story and are happy to read past the reason that the girls tease poor Wanda. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I say it like a dozen times during the year, but this is my favorite thing we do all year. I love reading <u>Charlotte's Web</u> with my third graders. I love it because even though they've seen the movie, most haven't read the book. Even those that have still enjoy another read. There are some sweet and funny parts and I love Templeton's lines- he's the best. For the past several years we've been using random pieces from various sources and piecemealed our study together. I decided to create my own resource that contains everything I wanted to use for our novel study. It's ready and I've been using it and I'm ready to share it in my shop. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I'm super excited that it's done, happy to have a complete (and tidy and rigorous) resource for my kiddos and for my team. I'm also really excited because next year when it's time for this, I'll be giving this to my student teacher! I can't say how excited I am to have a student teacher. We met this week and she is fan-tas-tic! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm breaking this big novel study up into chunks to also list small pieces. Right now, I have listed the whole inclusive novel study.</span><br />

Staff Christmas Party. I gave the best white elephant gift this year. I saved up all the gift cards I had gotten in the past year (some with a bit of money, most with none) and gave them away as a bunch. The family that got them said they spent a happy afternoon calling the number on each card and found a total of $8.50 on the cards! </div>

Our favorite December activity- the food drop at our church. We take the Thanksgiving week's offering and use it all to buy wholesale food. It arrives via semi trucks. <br />

It was part of my reading specialist certificate (a title they shortly later got rid of). I worked harder than I had in any other class and really learned a lot (and I still mess up more than I should!). I don't think I earned higher than a B in there, but it was well earned. I made pretty good grades in college, but I think I was more proud of that B than other better grades. Isn't that funny about hard work, how rewarding it is? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe it started in that linguistic class, but I really love working with prefixes with my kiddos. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was making up some prefix stuff for my kiddos this year and thought I'd stick them in the shop. Apparently, other teachers are working on the same skills because they're doing pretty well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lou won best costume! Finally! I've been handmaking Lou and Bee's costumes for years and we finally brought home some hardware! Lou is wearing a pair of his own shorts, a women's striped shirt (don't tell him it's a ladies shirt!), hat, and black shoes from the thrift store. We borrowed suspenders from a Miley Cirus costume from a friend (again, shh...) and black soccer socks from his sister. </span><br />

I'm trying to make sure we still get to do my favorite classroom activities- although there never seems like enough time in the day. Here we are doing my favorite 'Growing Up Where Jesus Lived' cumulative activity. It's a taste testing event and who doesn't love that></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We took our annual fall break trip with friends (<a href="http://mamabeefromthehive.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-camping-trip.html" target="_blank">2016</a>, <a href="http://mamabeefromthehive.blogspot.com/2015/11/so-its-been-awhile.html" target="_blank">2015</a>, 2104). We traveled about 5 hours this year, instead of our normal 45 minute trip. It required a parking lot picnic, which embarrassed Bee to no ends! I had hoped to find a little park or rest stop or something... but it didn't work out. What if she saw someone she knew? At a Walmart parking lot in the middle of rural Kentucky!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This boat tour was a little too scary for him though, unfortunately we were committed for the whole hour before we realized it. There something about the tour guides on cave tours... Every one we've ever had has acted as though he's at open mic night- but not funny enough to go beyond that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bee and I tried some tomatoes this year at the new house. Nothing like the old house! To find a spot away from the woods (and deer) and with enough sunlight, we planted them down at the end of our long drive. She had to get creative with watering. We did not do well. I have now gathered that the former owner used a large amount of weed killer in the beds. Maybe a small raised bed next year?</span></div>

It was fun, what kid doesn't love to get mail? It was spread out over 6 weeks, so we got to work on it for awhile. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I like to take advantage of every professional development opportunity I can, especially ones my building will pay for. I love learning new things. I feel like it's a perk of the job! Here I am with Lou's math teacher from last year and his math teacher from this year. They met at our house at 6:30 am to leave. He was a little embarrassed to see teachers at his house while he was in his jammies. It might have embarrassed him even more when I called them jammies. </span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This started for me last summer. With the goal in mind of increasing the time my students (3rd graders) spent actually reading and writing, I knew I wanted to incorporate reading responses into my classroom routine. After reading Donalyn Miller’s books (if you haven't read them and you are a teacher- go straight to the library!),<u> Book Whisperer</u> and <u>Reading in the Wild</u>, I became passionate about finding an age-appropriate but rigorous method to train my kiddos to write about their reading. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

There are 4 forms. </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 16px; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">I use one form per quarter during the school year, but you could use them to differentiate giving kids the form they are ready for. You could skip right to form 3 for 4th graders, or stay on form 1 and 2 for 2nd graders. By third quarter, or form 3, I have the students use the form as a guide, but don’t require they write directly on it. I have them write their responses in a spiral notebook. If they can use the form to write a strong paragraph, mission accomplished. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-indent: 48px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The students use the guided forms to help them write a reading response. This became weekly homework for my class, but it could be in-class work as well. They write about whatever book they are already reading, at whatever spot they are already at, fiction or nonfiction. They write one well-developed paragraph using a hook, topic sentence, and supporting sentences. Each quarter has a slightly more advanced form guiding them in paragraph creation. You can have your students simply fill out the form, or take what they’ve written on the form and write it in an actual paragraph (I recommend moving towards this). I have my kiddos write this in a notebook. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I collect their notebooks and respond with a sentence or two about their reading response, book choice, paragraph development, word choice, etc. I write something specific like "This book sounds like something several other boys in class would like, you'll want to tell Matt and Kevin about it," or "I'm excited to hear what Jack decides to do when he solves this riddle, please let me know," or "I like the way you described Grandpa, but I think you might be surprised when you get to chapter 6!" We have a little on-going book conversation. I grade mostly for completion and following format; I don’t typically nit-pick over conventions- grading is never tedious. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 16px; text-indent: 48px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I feel like reading responses help me (and the parents, if you’re using it for homework) keep track of what the kids are reading, the progress they are making, the rate of book completion vs. abandoning books. The students get an increased amount of practice in paragraph construction, summarizing, and applying skills from class (using ‘exciting’ words, varying sentence length, adding description, etc). Students have to focus on their own comprehension, knowing they are going to write about what they are reading. It also excited many to read their book and then write, knowing that their audience would respond (my reading and responding to their entries and then the oral book commercials with their classmates responding). It sets a purpose for their reading (“I haven't written about setting in awhile, I should pay attention to information about the setting today and write about that.”). It helps me check their level of understanding as they are reading... “Are they totally missing the main themes of the book? Are they only picking up on surface level information? Is setting all they ever what to write about?” It increases opportunities for reading and writing and builds the connection between the two- my original goal. </span></span></div>

The story is about a little girl who has a wonderful idea. She has a dog that is her assistant. According to the book the little girl knows exactly what she wants to make. She knows exactly what it should look like and how it should work. She does not know how she will make it and she has tried many times and has failed. She is now mad and explodes in anger. The book said it’s not her finest moment! After she calms down, she gets a vision how to make it using all of the other parts that she made and failed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used this strategy with my students all last year and got some amazing results, not just what I saw in class, but with the growth they made in our benchmark testing. If you teach reading grades 2-4, I hope you'll come take a look. This is my first paid item, but I priced it nice and low because I genuinely do want teachers to be able to use it. If you like it as much as I do, please let me know! </span><br />

It's been a few years since I'd seen it, but it brought back happy memories of my grandpa. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This past weekend we road-tripped to visit family. 950 miles in 4 days. Hubby is pretty busy at work and couldn't take off, but they kids and I are used to road trips with just the three of us, so it was cool. First stop was my sister's house. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My mom at the photo-booth with the #Kellynailedit sign. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">My sister in law requested a photo-booth. No problem, I love a good photo-booth. Then she said she wanted a reformation themed photo booth. After a little bit of googling, I was caught up and my sister and I were ready to pull something together (basically this year is the 500 year anniversary of Martin Luther declaring the separation of the new church from the Catholic Church and he nailed this document to the door of the church). Thank goodness teachers are hoarders- we were able to piece it together. Don't look too closely, that's the bill of rights stuck on the door. </span></div>

We've used it for years, and I really do like the series. I hear lots of negative stuff about using a basal, but I like the stories, the kids seem to enjoy most of them and the majority of the accompanying resources are really strong. In Indiana, the Pearson company also makes our end of year state test, so the curriculum is lined up really nicely to prepare the kiddos for that. It doesn't matter how much you like or dislike using a basal, state testing, or following a more strict schedule for teaching, they are facts of life for many of us. We do throw in 4 novels through the year, but that's another post. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I created a series of worksheets to accompany each of our stories with the assigned grammar lesson for the week. Even if you don't use Pearson Reading Street, these are appropriate grammar skills for 3rd graders and you could use them supplementary to any series or novel studies you might use. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">My kids have recently joined me in getting into bible journaling! Here are our three bibles. Here are several other evenings worth of my art. I do get lots of ideas online and unfortunately sometimes on Pinterest you can't track them back to give credit to the original source of the design. So, I'm not claiming many of these as my original idea- but I do try to change them up and make them my own as a make them. </span></span></div>

I tell stories to the young teachers at school about what teaching was like before the internet made anything assessable. They just don't understand. It's an amazing time to be a teacher! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's going to be slow going for me to get things made and loaded, but I wanted to put it out there. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I named it after this blog </span><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/From-The-Hive" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">From the Hive</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. Gotta keep it simple, right. The shop is a work in progress- looks like they want a quote from me. Yikes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have two <u>free</u> resources up and ready to go. Both go with our new science curriculum, Foss. We've used Foss for years but these next generation investigations are new! I'm teaching Motion and Matter this year and as I've gone through the kit in detail already- I love it! It meets our third grade Indiana standards really nicely and it completely hands on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here they are if you're interested:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">number 4 will not happen, I won't be teaching that investigation- doesn't meet our Indiana standards. </span><br />
