Show Me Some Bloglovin Giveaway!

You have probably heard by now that Google Reader is going away on July 1st.  Well, Google Reader may be going away, but I don't want YOU to go away, so I hope that you will consider following my blog through bloglovin! I know that change is hard...so we thought I might sweeten it up for you a little bit!
 
I am doing a giveaway (along with a bunch of fabulous bloggy friends) for all of my fabulous followers that take the leap and switch over to bloglovin.  You may have already switched over!  In that case, this will be an easy entry!

If you have not yet switched or are not following my blog through bloglovin, then there are a few easy steps to follow.  You can go to our sidebar (that's the column on the right over there that shows our followers) and you can click the button that says Follow this Blog with bloglovin.  Or, you can go into the Rafflecopter below and click the link in the first entry, and that will take you to our blog on bloglovin.

You will need to set up an account with bloglovin so that you can follow me.  Please be sure to leave your bloglovin username in the Rafflecopter entry.

If you want to go ahead and move all of the blogs you follow from Google over, you can go to this link and it will take you through the super easy steps.  BUT, please go to me bloglovin link and make sure that you are following me through bloglovin.  To be sure, make sure that the blue button at the top of our bloglovin page has been clicked (it should be gray with the word following- if it's blue, please click it to follow!)
 

So, if you follow me by bloglovin, please enter my giveaway!!  I will be picking 2 WINNERS and each winner will get their choice of 2 ITEMS FROM MY TpT STORE!  :O)

Pacing Guide and Giveaway!

It's another rainy day here, which means no pool day :( Instead I worked with another teacher on the ELA Common Core pacing guide...ugh not fun work at all! Has anyone else had to do this? The pacing guide for math seemed to be MUCH easier than the ELA one. It was hard to match up our reading series with the standards and then figure out a timeline, but I think we got the hard part done-matching standards to the themes in our reading series. Now, all I need to do is rearrange all of the information into a timeline!
 
I also wanted to remind you of my giveaway that is going on now through tomorrow! If you haven't checked it out yet, click on the picture below to head there!
 
 
One hour until the Bachelorette is on....woot woot!!

Monday Made It: Human Body

 
It's Monday which means it is time to link up with 4th Grade Frolic's Monday Made It!
 
 
This week I want to share something that I meant to share a while back.....the last science unit I did with my students was the human body. We did a lot of fun activities and this might be my new favorite unit to teach. We started off with the digestive unit. We read about it and watched a cool Magic School House movie. We discussed the lengths of the small and large intestine and measured them out. Then I had the students work in groups to draw diagrams of the digestive system. They used yarn to show the actual length of the small and large intestine. The posters turned out great! Here are a few examples!
 
My coworker also did a really cool activity with the digestive system. She made a larger model and used panty hose and newspapers to show the large and small intestine. Here is a picture!
 
 
 
 
A big thank you goes out to all of those who signed up to donate to Jeanette and I's 200 follower giveaway! Today will be the last day to sign up. If you still want to sign up you can click here. Thanks :)
