Yummy Snack!

        I am one of those very fortunate people who live close enough to both my family and my husband's family that we don't really have to choose between the families when it comes to holidays.  Yesterday we spent the day with my family and today we spent the day with Bill's family. 
        Since it was Mother's Day we couldn't ask my mom to cook, that's just not right so my sister and I put the menu and all of the food together.  I say all of this to say I found a very yummy snack to serve.  They are called "Nacho Pinwheels" and are a Pillsbury recipe.  They were more delicious that I even thought that they might be plus they take less than 30 minutes from start to finish.  Check it out, you won't be sorry.

To Making it Count

       In my district Every day Counts Math became optional last year; however this is something that I enjoy because there are so many great skills that can be practiced quickly before they come up during our "real" math time.  One of the elements that I update each day is the number of days we've been in school.  Today was our 160th day of school (holy cow-where did the year go?!?)  Anyway . . . I saw the above picture on pinterest this evening and had to post it as a reminder to myself as much as anyone else.  It is my goal to make sure that with my little bit of time left with my precious class that I make each day count!!! 

***BTW:  the answer to Sunday's posted question was if you take the first letter in each of the seven words listed and move it to the end of the word and then read the new word from right to left they read as the words from the original list-cool, huh?

Happy Wednesday : )

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

        Happy Teacher Appreciation week to all of you terrifical teachers out there!  Yes, that was totally a Ramona Quimby shout out, thank you if you noticed before I mentioned it.
        I would like to prepare you for the upcoming week by getting your brain ready with a (possible) brain teaser.  Are you ready for me to test your knowledge?!?  See if you can figure out what these seven words all have in common:

1.  banana
2.  dresser
3.  grammar
4.  potato
5.  revive
6.  uneven
7.  assess

Leave me a comment with your guess : )
