Today's topic is WHO! This is where I tell you all about myself.
Mmmm! If you'd read my blog before there is really nothing new to tell. You can skip to the end of this post. But if this is your first time on my site then here goes:

 I'm married to the love of my life, my BFF and my high school sweetheart!
 I have 4 awesome children!
 I have 10 grandchildren soon to be 11.
We have two Miniature Schnauzers- Bella and Sammie.
 I love to vacation in the beautiful mountains.
Actually, I LOVE to vacation anywhere!
 I LOVE my alma mater Brigham Young University Cougars! 
 I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I was in the first grade!
 I've been teaching for 37 years and still LOVE it!

Well, there you have it, a few facts about me.

FREE Ideas for Writing Lists

The countdown is on. I'm about to begin another exciting year with my wonderful first graders!
I have 2 days of summer left not counting my weekend. I can't believe how fast it has flown by.
I'm excited to begin a new adventure!

One of the first things I like to do with my firsties in writing (after procedures have been established) is to write lists. It's a fun engaging activity. I try to find things they can connect with.
(It's a good thing I teach first grade because I draw like one. I am NOT an artist!)
 Here is a fun little picture chart that I put in my writing center to give them ideas. I like pictures because some of my littles can't read all that well yet. It even helps them springboard their own ideas from the pictures.
Very EASY prep, just print the picture chart on card stock then laminate. There are 2 different writing pages for the kiddos to write their ideas on.
I hope your students enjoy it as much as mine.

THANKS for stopping by!
