"Read Across America" Dr. Seuss Camera App

Crazy Cute!! Have you seen this app? With "Read Across America" and our district's celebration of "Nevada Reading Week" all coming on Monday, I couldn't have discovered this app at a better time!

  Isn't this super cute? 

Create fun Dr. Seuss photos with your students next week! There are about 15 different designs to choose from and you can even change the background color and add a frame!! 

The app is super easy to use! You can drag and adjust your image to fit perfectly. Then, email the photos to yourself and print! 

The app only works on the iPhone, not the iPad, and is $1.99, but well worth it!  

Click on the app icon to be taken to it in the itunes store.

I'm excited to send these home next week with each student as a keepsake for "Read Across America 2015."

My school kicked off reading week today with a pep rally assembly and all the teachers dressed as superheroes!! Here's my outfit!

Here's my girls being all silly today and one of my students holding my red cape up behind me! While I hate this picture of me (long day, last hour, bad hair day, belly-LOL), I just love all of their goofiness! They got such a kick outta my outfit and called me Super Woman all day!!! Such a fun day! :)

What do you have planned for Read Across America next week??

SEUSS MASKS, CURRENTLY, GIVEAWAY, & TOKEN BOARD FREEBIE

First off.....I am sooooo excited and proud to announce that I was chosen as the featured post on TBA's Friday Freebie yesterday! Yes, that's right! My blog......how sweet is that! Thrilled and honored. Go{HERE} to check out my featured post and grab some freebies! 
                
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. SEUSS! What did your class do for Seuss' birthday? I was out of my class Mon.-Thurs. this week for an Autism training, so I didn't have time to put much together for my kiddos, but we did make these adorable Seuss masks!

They turned out so cute! This idea came from Amanda at Crafts and Things for Children. Thanks Amanda! She has some fabulous Seuss ideas. 

  What is your favorite Dr. Seuss quote???
Now for Farley's Currently at "Oh Boy Fourth Grade." 

Listening watching to the movie "Taken." Trying not to get involved in it, so I can finish this post. Have you seen "Taken 2?" I saw it a couple of weeks ago and it is really good too. I'm betting from the ending that there's going to be a part 3!
Loving that TBA picked MY post to feature on "FRIDAY FREEBIE" yesterday. What an honor! :)
Thinking about all the fabulous things I learned at my 4-day Autism training this week! So much to take in- in four days, and so many things I want to implement and change in my classroom now. Excited, but have alot of work ahead of me! Just wish my room was bigger.....and I had more space to work with! 
Wanting some warmer weather. Hello......it's March now, where's the warm weather at???? 
Needing a permanent aide in my classroom. I have one aide who has been with me since I've been in my classroom, but my other aide position is being filled with a sub because we can't find any candidates to fill it.....and now the district has frozen hiring for this school year! Uggghhh! So hard in a classroom with disabilities like mine to have substitutes that don't understand the disabilities in my room, nor have the passion or patience for working with my kids! Frustrating!
And the LIKE, LOVE, HATE......well I think that speaks for itself and I'm sure the testing is something we can all relate to!!
And now for a giveaway from "Flying High in First Grade." She's giving away one item from her TPT store on Monday and it's so easy to enter.......just leave her a comment about your best b-day memory! It's her birthday!!! How easy it that?? I like easy giveaways!!
Stay tuned tomorrow for my weekly "Bloomin' Blogger Sundays" post! Tomorrow I'll be showing you how to add the Facebook "like" pop up window that appears when a new visitor visits your page. I went from 4 likes to 20 likes in just two days after adding this to my blog!! 
And to close with a Freebie for the special educators out there.....a "Clean/Dirty Face" token board. I have a Downs Syndrome student that has not learned how to clean her face after eating, and not to mention she is a MESSY eater! She will come in from breakfast every morning with half of her face covered in food and cinnamon roll icing! To work on this goal, I made a "Clean/Dirty Face" token board that I will use with her daily. Laminate and use velcro to attach the tokens to the board. 

 Go {here} to get this token board. If you would like more information on how I will use this token board with this student, just  let me know!
Oh, and one last thing..........I'm only 12 away from 100 followers!!! Let me know if you'd be interested in contributing to my giveaway! I only have 3 volunteers so far!
