Cootie Catcher freebie

A fun way to learn and review sight words!  See Reagan practicing her sight words.  She loves it and even slept with my "new game" after we made it.  Enjoy.  Thanks to Chalk One Up for the Teacher.   These can be used for addition/subtraction facts, reading comprehension, etc.  BE CREATIVE!

Snowmageddon at the Hightower's House

We arrived home at 8:15 Tuesday night and had a BLAST Wednesday morning!  Hope to get my car today.  It has spent the past few night at the school.  NO homework for my middle schooler.  Her book bag is in my car.  Happy Middle schooler.  LOL!  See the fun we are having on our 2 snow days.  Reagan has hers and we are studying sight words.  Check later for the post of an activity that we are playing at home.  Freebie post on Pinterest!!   

Toby's first "real" snow.  My phone added the snow to this picture.  HEEHEE.

Snow angels

 Thanks goodness my teenage made it home yesterday.  She made it to a  friends house instead of driving home.  Thanks to my big brother for going to get her yesterday around 3:00.

Reagan kept singing her favorite song "Do you want to build a snowman" from Frozen.  Her sisters helped her.  Olaf!

Snow at School.  Yahoo.

Not much snow!

WOW!  More snow.  Within 10 minutes it was accumulating on the playground

Catching snowflakes.

MORE SNOW!

WOW! This is the same playground at 4:00.  Students were still at the school along with many faculty members.  We ALL made it home at some point Tuesday night.  A first for this 20 year veteran teacher:)))  Thanks to the parents, teacher's husbands, family members and community people that helped get out students and staff to a home in some manner!!  YOU ROCK!  Thank goodness for 4 wheelers, 4 wheel drive jeeps and trucks.  

I am updating my blog due to 2 snow days.  YEAH!!  My girls are making a snowman and playing.  

100th Day Already!

We had a blast celebrating the 100th day of school on Jan 22.  Our students read 100 sight words, wrote what he/she would buy with 100 dollars, counted to 100 and ate a 100 day snack.  See below for the fun we had.

Reagan dressed for the 100th day. 
She is also sporting her new glasses.  
TOO CUTE!

The kids drew a picture of them now and at 100.  TOO CUTE!  They have wheelchairs, canes, spots on their faces, etc.  

Thanks Little Warriors for the 100 day Freebie. 

I decorated the Promethean board, Pete the Cat and our Black Lab.  The kids had a fit! 

My bday.

I celebrated my 42nd birthday on January 12.  My kiddos are so sweet!  Several made the comment that we needed to ask Mr. D. if he would open the school so that we could celebrate.  Made me tear up that my little ones would come on their day off to celebrate with me.  However, we did celebrate on Friday with cupcakes.  Love my little ones!
