Sunday Scoop time!

It's been awhile since I've done a Sunday Scoop with Teaching Trio so here we go! 

Have to do...
It's Golden Archer Award time in Wisconsin! I begin my six week unit on it this Friday with the first group so I have to decide which of the five nominated titles I am going to read first and then what activity I am going to do. This is probably my most favorite time of the year in the library! 
WEMTA is our state library and technology association and registration just opened for the annual Spring conference. The sooner you register the cheaper it is! You should check it out - it is definitely worth attending!! 

Hope to do...
I recently created a research organizer for second grade space research and I hope to get it posted to TPT ASAP! 
Also, the littlest is changing sizes yet again so I need to get the too small out and the next size in! 

Happy to do...
I'm trying to read a bunch of the historical fiction that is on our 4th grade list as the unit is fast approaching. Our Only May Amelia by Jennifer L. Holm is my current read and I am almost done. It's pretty good but I feel that the fourth graders will miss a bunch of things in the text. However, because they are more the character's age, I also believe that they will really enjoy it and hopefully it gets them a bit emotional as it is a very emotionally charged book! 

I hope you have a great week! 

Sunday Scoop 11/9

Happy Sunday! It's time for another Sunday Scoop, hosted by Teaching Trio!

I am a busy gal at work these days! There are so many exciting things about to happen! We have a technology in-service morning coming up that I am planning. We will have sessions presented by our own staff on topics like Google Classroom, Moodle, ePortfolios, QR codes, and so much more. I love these mornings!

I am on to Book Fair #2 of the year and the kids will be so excited in the morning! I do 2 Book Fairs in fall and 2 in the spring, for a total of one fair at each of our four elementary buildings.

It snowed up north this weekend and we are supposed to get a good storm tomorrow! I love snow! Woohoo!

If you have ideas to share on a techie science project for second graders about space, I'd love to hear it!

I hope you have a fantastic week!!

Sunday Scoop!

I just love quick things like this! I love to read them on other people's blogs because... well... let's face it, I'm a little bit nosy! I love doing them for my own blog because they are fast and they help you get to know me! 

Teaching Trio hosts the Sunday Scoop each week and I am new to it but happy to link up! You should too! 

I just recently began as Daisy troop leader for my daughter and I need to find a co-leader to do it with me. 
Who doesn't have laundry to do on a Sunday?!
Tomorrow I give another Monday Tech Tidbit training after school. We are focusing on SMARTboards for the first couple of weeks because we were fortunate to add SMARTboards for all of our classroom teachers who didn't have one yet! 

I have thank you notes to write from my little man's baptism. 
I just started reading This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper for the Cardigans and Caffeine book club! If you are a teacher, you should join us too! 

I love cookies. I mean is there more to say?? Ha! We have Oreos in the house right now!
