Today was SO much better than my last post about smashing dreams. (don’t get me wrong- I still smashed most dreams today including going out to Friday extra recess ) However, today was full, fun, and even with inside recess and a lurking ipad principal, we did ART!!!! (of course tied to reading, writing, and all things learning!)
On cyber Monday I bought this unit by Pollard titled: The Wild Christmas Reindeer (Jan Brett)
I LOVE the unit and it went perfectly with my REINDEER CRAFT! Here’s a few pics of the fun!

Your smashing dreams post struck a chord with me. I can't tell you how many times I've squashed a little bug in my classroom and then felt sort of bad about it (but gosh, I can't listen to everything you have to say…or let you do this that or the other…).
I've never heard of anybody else who has taught Bridges outside of my district…what do you think? How long have you been using it?
I wonder why you can't print the doc?

I love this craft, it came out so cute! The reindeer look awesome on the bulletin board!

You totally hit the nail on the head with Bridges. We say the same exact things you said. The thing is, when you are just getting used to the program (this is my second year) you don't know where to supplement. The parents have valid concerns with the lack of paper pencil they really don't know where their kids stand. We'll have to "chat" more via email – would love to pick your brain! (We do Number Corner too!!!!!!)

Too too too cute!!! 🙂
I squashed a dream the other day (can't remember which dream or which dreamer now) but as soon as I did it, I turned to my partner and said, "I'm a dream squasher."

These reindeer are too cute! I like how you said your "lurking ipad principal". I feel like this all the time now with their iobservations. It stresses me out!

I made your reindeer with my class and they look so cute! We've received lots of compliments. The students are singing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" in our Christmas program, so it fits in perfectly for the parents to see at the concert.
You do neat work! Thanks!

Those are just adorable!! Now, how to find time in the next 7 days to fit them in… 🙂 Thanks!!
