Power Pix Wall Kit Owl Theme and Fun Bursts!!

As promised here is the Power Pix Owl Theme Wall Kit!  Click on the picture for your freebie copy!  Be sure to download your Super Improvers Owl Theme Wall Kit to match!!

Also, I have meaning to talk about a cutting edge WBT technology called the Fun Burst!!!  I just heard about this from Chris Biffle himself a free Tuesday Webcast and thought I would share!  Fun Bursts are multi-functional - they help divide up lessons, increase fun, and help to practice rules and engagement!

In the beginning, I would definitely practice having a more serious and controlled Fun Burst - as the year progressed I would graduate to the more exciting and energizing Fun Burst.  Lay those safety guidelines at the beginning of the year and the rest will be tons of fun!!  Happy teaching blog friends!

Sneak-a-Peek Linky Party

What am I doing at 1:00 a.m. you ask?  Oh - just linking up with Blog Hoppin' cause its fun and its summer!!  Got to share all the fun stuff I bought during the TpT sale!!!  Click on the pictures to check them out yourself!!

So my first purchase was the Desk Fairy by Rachelle at What the Teacher Wants - this last year was the first time my kiddos had desks.  We always had tables at my school for Grade 1  Enter the Desk Fairy!!  Can't wait to try this out!!

Next, I have been eyeing this one for a WHILE - just dying to know the recipe for the lemon body scrub.  Oh momma, the mothers in my classroom are gonna be in HEAVEN!!  Thanks Reagan Tunstall!

And who can resist Pop Rocks!!  Thanks Babbling Abby for this awesome little packet to help enhance descriptive writing.  I believe I will use this when teaching Word Choice!!  Maybe even earlier in the year when I introduce adjectives!!

Yet another one I have been eyeing - every year I say I am going to do a Christmas Around the World unit in December and this year I'm going to do it!!  December 2012 is a winner.  Thanks Amanda!!  

This I could not resist - I was thinking about having a classroom pet and this kind of pet is right up my alley!  The kids will be begging to write about their adventures with our newest class member!!  Yay Reagan!!

I got this last one at the LAST minute - it might have even been 11:59 p.m. and I'm so glad I did!!  I'm going to use this the first week of school for some snacking fun1!!  All first graders love a nice treat to get us through that long afternoon and what better way to cover some math too!!! Thanks Tara!!

My Laminator...Wallis AND a Conference Near ME!! Mattawa, WA here I come!

Meet my new Scotch Laminator Wallis!!!!   I heart Wallis - he is a smiler, fast, heats up like a darn and plasticizes to my hearts delight!!  Love that guy!  $30 at Walmart in Canada - cannot go wrong!!!  

I went to work laminating right away and I can already tell you I made a few of my teacher pals envious:D  But of course they are welcome to use it anytime!  Yes!!  I love visitors!!!

I just thought I would show a few picts and gush a little about how easy and efficient Wallis is!!  Definitely better then paying a wack load of money to get laminating done at a store or waiting months for laminating to return from the district office!!  Not me!  I have Wallis now!!

Now for some even more exciting news!!  I am off to Mattawa, Washington Wednesday, August 22nd, a mere 5 hours from my house for a FREE Whole Brain Teaching day conference with Chris Biffle himself!!  I e-mailed Chris right away and he replied with the following message!

Get ready to do some demo lessons!!!  On the fly.  No warning.  Of course.  Also, please work on your back handsprings, full pike, double twist, with the dipsy doo landing.

So I am off to do some light stretching and to look at myself in the mirror as I practice my animated expressions;)!!!  Wish me luck!  I am so pumped!  If any of you Canadian WBT teachers are reading , come and join me!!!  The more the merrier!!  It isn't that far!!
