The Krafty Teacher: Just say NO to nonsense words!
http://www.thekraftyteacher.com/2015/08/just-say-no-to-nonsense-words.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Just say NO to nonsense words! If you love nonsense words this is NOT the blog post for you, just walk away now and agree to disagree. Feel free to email me you thoughts on their worth, because as far as I am concerned teachers should not bother using nonsense words and if you have to test with them for MClass or whatever your district uses - don't stress! I'm here to give you my thoughts on why you should quit using nonsense words in any classroom! We teach students yes even ...

Friday, August 14, 2015. 5 for Friday August 14, 2015. I haven't linked up with 5 for Friday since the beginning of July! Thinking my summer got a little cray cray! But it's been fun! I'm going to share 5 things from since I last did a 5 for Friday - so pretty much a recap of the last 5 weeks! July 17-18 We took a family trip to Kansas City. We stayed at Great Wolf Lodge and went to our second Sporting Kansas City game. The kids all got ears, Kaden's were birthday ears. Blake was mad about something.

http://www.thekraftyteacher.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 17, 2013. I have been cooking much more since school is out and have been trying a few new recipes to boot. My family appreciates this! First up I *tried* to make these yummy Salted Caramel Pretzel Brownies that a co-worker said she actually made and shared the pin - should be easy right since someone else I know actually successfully made them? WRONG I attempted them twice! The second time might have worked if my boys hadn't eaten them before I added the topping! 1/2 jar spaghetti sauce.
