Matthew 19:14 (NIV)14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
My precious students give me gifts for every holiday. Most of their gifts are handmade and have been made with so much thought and love. This little girl gave me a butterfly love note in a Goody hairband box she found in the trash at home. It is precious. She had it wrapped up for me with several sweet notes inside.

It would take me forever to copy all the links to the amazing products I plan to use for my December and January stations. I have made a slide show below of some of my favorites. Please take a moment to view each one and follow that sellers page on Teacher Pay Teacher. Many of these products are free downloads. Merry Christmas! My wonderful principal and one of our fabulous 5th grade teachers helped earn money for the U Can Share Food Drive. The final day students who donated 2 cans of food were allowed to vote for which staff member would be duct taped to the wall. My principal and this awesome teacher each had a team of 5th grade students who competed against the clock and each other as they taped them to the wall. Our entire school was invited to cheer each team on. It was loud, it was fun and many hungry children had food because of these two amazing ladies and our school. Have I mentioned I love my school! My students fill my days with laughter.
Ms. Rogers: When is your birthday? 6 yr old student : Well, when I was growing up it was in June. I don't have any idea when it is now. (records show his birthday is in July). One child had tied her own shoelaces together for no reason. I told her she owed our sweet Texas Tech student a hug for spending 15 min getting the knots out of her shoelaces. Another child raised her hand and said I will give the hug. I look up at that moment another boy has put on sunglasses 45 min before recess. He looks at me and says I am ready to go outside. I could no longer hold it in. I busted out laughing and so did my class. I have had a GoNoodle account for several years. I didn't realize until today that I can add my own You Tube videos to my account. I'm loving that feature. If you go to Channels then click on You Tube it will take you to all the You Tube channels available on GoNoodle. If you have a teacher account you are able to add any You Tube video to your account. This is a very safe way to use You Tube in the classroom. There are no inappropriate ads or other video links on the side panel. There are some silent small ads that pop up at the bottom, but you can click to have them disappear. I have added some fun Halloween songs and even some read aloud books for the end of the day. Student accounts do not have this feature. I have added all my math and reading songs too. What a great feature.
Many of you have taught long enough to remember the days when we had cassette tapes we had to rewind or C.D.s that would get scratched? A colleague introduced me to all the wonderful QR code freebies on Teacher Pay Teacher. I wanted to learn to create my own QR codes for other you tube stories. Today I researched and taught myself how to do just that. So tonight I'm sharing how easy it is to create your own listening station you tube QR codes. 1. Go to the website YouScan.me and create an account. I linked mine with my facebook. 2. You will see a page that says Choose your code type with many options below. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click on You Tube. You will then see a blank line for you to paste any You Tube link you choose. 3. Open You Tube in a new tab choose any appropriate video and right click on the address bar as the video plays. Click copy. 4. Go back to the tab with YouScan.Me. Type the name of the video in the first two lines of the page (Code Title and Page Title) You will also need to click on campaign and language. 5. Then scroll to the bottom of that page again make sure you have clicked on the You Tube logo on the left hand side then simply right click on the blank space provided on the middle of the page and click paste. 6. Click Add your You Tube video should appear on the right hand side of the screen. 7. Click generate at the bottom of the page. 8. You will be taken to a page that allows you to download your QR code. 9. After downloading your QR code simply right mouse click on the picture and click save as. You can save your QR code to any folder you choose. 10. Fine Print This website only allows 3 free QR codes.The cheapest plan is $4.99 a month to create 10 QR codes a month. I am going to try that plan. The QR code I have at the top of this blog post is David Gets in Trouble. You are free to copy and paste it and use it as a listening center. I hope you have fun making your own fun listening centers for your students I can't believe it's already October. This is always such an exciting time for my students. I love planning fall themed lessons and seeing how excited my students are to learn using these fun activities. I have a huge planning bug. It really can be a sickness. I get very anxious if I do not have a plan. However I am never without copies when the copier breaks down and I have a plethora of ideas at any given moment. So as my fall gift to you here are the many free teacher pay teacher downloads I have found and copied for my classroom.
