  • What I’m Teaching This Week #3

    This week begins my STEM rotations with my older grades (3-5). I’ve got all my iPads ready to control my robots and things. Monday was a little shaky, but I added some additional stations so I would have smaller groups. Tuesday and Wednesday have went well. Here are the stations: Classkick assignment on close reading…

    Has it really been a year?

    I can’t believe it, but we have finished our school year. Last Thursday was my last day with students and last Friday was my last teacher workday. I’ve been vacationing at my parents’ house, but will be going back to my house tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn. I need to pay bills and…

    I’ve finished a lot of small things lately, so it couldn’t wait for a Finished Object (FO) Friday. I’ve been on a crochet kick, so I’ve done some quick crochet hats.  I’ve knit up quite a few small things as well, like a dishrag and a squirrel bib.  I finished the blanket I was knitting…

  • KnitPicks Radiant Needles Review

    KnitPicks Radiant Needles Review

    I wanted to get up a quick review of these needles since I’m so excited to have received my package today. I am in love with the color of these needles.  I have the Harmony (Rainbow) needles, Majestic Needles, Nickel Plated needles, and a set of Lykke Driftwood needles (which I blogged about here). Needless…
