I've been home with a sick kiddo the last two days ... fever finally broke so I hope she's on the mend. So, of course I've been on the computer way too much through the day while she has been resting. And for me, too much time on the computer leads to online shopping ... my weakness. I did order some fabulous things, though!
How cute is this??? I saw this Giving Tree iPad decal somewhere yesterday (maybe on facebook?), so I went hunting for it today. I found it
here on Etsy. LOVE.IT.
Speaking of my iPad, I still have yet to use it in the classroom. I brought it to school on Friday, ready to go with a new solar system app I was so excited to share with my students. And just as we were about to start, the power went off at my school - and stayed off through my whole science period. Wonderful. Monday was a holiday, and I was home yesterday and today, so tomorrow's a new day. And I WILL wow them tomorrow ... I promise.
I also bought myself a new eReader (so I can give my husband's back to him) - doing my last read aloud with the eReader projected onto my screen has changed the way I will do read alouds forever. The students are so much more engaged.
Lastly, I finally found The Elf on the Shelf. I wanted this badly last year, but I couldn't find it in stock anywhere. I've been checking my online book stores for weeks now, determined to get it this year. Mission accomplished!!! I can't wait to do this with my girls this year - they'll love it! I've seen so many great ideas on Pinterest to use with this, I think I may end up even more excited than my girls.
Tomorrow I head back to school ... my little girl is all rested up, and now my bank account needs a rest.
Happy Wednesday!!!
