It has been a lonnnng time since I have posted on this little blog of mine! Ever since I started my new gig as an art teacher, I find it much easier to just post photos of my students' artwork on Instagram! Feel free to give me a follow @mrs_lynes_artists :) This past year and a half has been so much fun, and I absolutely love going to work everyday! When you work with THE best principals and staff around AND get to do something you love, it makes work not feel so much like work! I feel so lucky to get to do what I do!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are a few things I miss about being in the regular classroom, like all of the fun holiday activities we used to do. However, I love teaching art more :) That being said, I still have lots of resources in my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Lauren-Lynes" target="_blank">TPT store,</a> and they will be up to 25% off on Monday (11/27) and Tuesday (11/28) with code CYBER17. Click the image below to shop around my little shop!</div>

It has been so nice to be off for the past week! It will be a little hard to go back. I have to admit, I am getting a teeny tiny bit sad that I don't have my own classroom anymore, because Christmas was my <i>favorite</i> time of year in the classroom. Yes, the kids are a bit cray-cray, but the units and activities were just SO. MUCH. FUN. However, I am not sad enough to want to go back to the regular classroom :) Art is where I need to be, and when Mia gets bigger, I can just do some of the activities with her, right? :)<br />
<br />
If you've followed along with me for a few years, you've probably seen our fun gingerbread in disguise writing activity! It's kind of like the turkey in disguise activities I am sure you have seen, but instead students disguise a gingerbread man so Mr. Fox won't want to eat him! It is always a hit, and it's so much fun to see what the kids come up with! Then they have to write a persuasive piece and convince Mr. Fox that they are NOT a tasty cookie. Always so much fun!<br />

I feel like I blinked and October was gone! Today was the first day that it felt even a tiny bit like fall. It has been So. Dang. HOT. Hopefully those cooler temps will stay. I am ready for my boots and cardigans!<br />
<br />
I had some requests for some Thanksgiving literacy centers, so <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Thanksgiving-Literacy-Centers-2860806" target="_blank">here they are</a>! Click on the picture to pick up a copy! Hopefully they will help you get through the next two weeks or so :)<br />

We are having a ton of fun in art! There are certain things I miss about being in the regular classroom, but I honestly have no plans of going back. This is where I was meant to be! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Something I know I am going to start missing are the holiday activities I used to do with my 2nd graders. But it helps knowing there are other kiddos out there doing some of the things I used to do! Here are some photos from past years of some of our Thanksgiving fun.This is just going to be a big old photo dump with very short descriptions :) Enjoy!</div>

It's Friday!! The past few weeks have been long! We have had four day weeks due to Labor Day and some professional development. I don't know why, but these shorter weeks feel extra long!<br />
<br />
I am SO loving my new position in art. I am having a blast just focusing on art all day long. I am getting used to my sweet kinders :) And I am beginning to think I should've been a 4th grade teacher those first nine years in the regular classroom, ha!<br />
<br />
It's been over a month since I blogged. I am finally getting the hang of this whole art thing, scheduling, planning, etc. So I hope I can blog a little more frequently. I have decided to keep this blog for now. But feel free to follow me on Instagram @mrs_lynes_artists to see what we are up to in the art room on a pretty regular basis!<br />

With my new art gig, I am really going to miss doing some of my favorite back to school activities! These activities all come from my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Back-to-School-MEGA-Pack-Grades-1-3-762174" target="_blank">Back to School Mega Pack</a>! It's 28% the rest of the day (along with everything else in <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Lauren-Lynes" target="_blank">my store</a>!) with promo code BESTYEAR.<div>

I always like to start the year with bucket filling. You can read more about it <a href="http://simplysecondgrade.blogspot.com/2013/08/2nd-day-of-2nd-grade-and-200-tpt.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I am trying to figure out a way to incorporate it in the art room, because I think it is SO important and really helps build a positive classroom community. It also really helps cut down on behavior issues!</div>

It is really bittersweet leaving second grade after nine years. I am going to miss doing activities like this. But I will say, it is kind of nice not having to get ready for open house, putting names on everything, and all of the other "normal" back to school stuff. However, organizing the art supplies has been quite the task! :) But I am so, soooo excited for this new adventure, and to be able to focus on art all day! </div>

It is always fun to have a blank slate, and I cannot tell you how excited I am to just focus on ONE subject!<br />
<br />
This summer I have really spent a lot of time finding great art lessons and units. I really have no curriculum map to follow, I just need to hit the required skills. So really I have a TON of freedom! Talk about exciting and overwhelming all at once! There are soooo many amazing ideas out there, that I almost don't even know where to begin. I am looking forward to getting in touch with some of the art teachers in our district to see how their year looks at a glance.<br />
<br />
Besides all of my Pinteresting, I have made a couple of things for the classroom that I am just loving. You will probably be able to tell that the second grade teacher in me had a lot of influence! I hope the regular ed teachers appreciate it :)<br />
<br />

I just love the way my art alphabet turned out! It will give my kids some extra exposure to some art vocabulary, and I hope it will help the littles if we are doing some writing about our artwork.</div>

Aren't these little artists by <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Great-Artists-Clip-Art-Bundle-1401698" target="_blank">Educlips</a> just the CUTEST?! They were perfect for these posters! I can't decide if I will have these guys hanging up all year, or use them as we study different artists. I am leaning toward having an artist board that is displayed all year because they are just too dang cute not to!<br />

And here are some clock hands. I figured it would be an easy way to reinforce some telling time with our kiddos. And the second grade teacher in me made me do it :)<br />
<br />
Well I had Mia help me choose a winner for their pick of my new literacy centers! I scrolled the screen up and down and she picked a winner by touching the screen! Super scientific, I know :) Congrats to Michele B.! I will be emailing your <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Apple-Literacy-Centers-2633968" target="_blank">Apple Literacy Centers</a> to you :) Good luck on your first year in second grade! You will love it!Mrs. Lyneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08337429111019592741noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313234833199005424.post-42012899752587475522016-07-15T18:33:00.003-05:002016-07-15T18:33:27.545-05:00News to Share + a GIVEAWAY :)Hey sweet friends! Are you there? If so, thank you for still following along, even though I haven't blogged in a REALLY long time! That little girl of mine keeps me super busy! And I will be real honest.. I just didn't feel very motivated to blog. Amy and I had the sweetest class this year. THE sweetest. We were so lucky! But long story short, micromanagement sucks, and I didn't think posting about our basal and our report card assessments was much fun :) <div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, some big changes are happening for this school year. At the end of April, I accepted a job in our district to be an elementary art teacher! I am beyond excited for this position! I had actually thought of going to school for art education because I have always been pretty passionate about it, but the realistic, worried side of me knew that it would be much harder to find a job where I wanted to be, since there is only one art teacher per school! So I majored in elementary ed instead (and later got some extra certifications), and ended up in second grade, which I ended up LOVING. It is such a fun grade! But in the back of my mind, I always said if an art position came about, I would try for it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I found out in the spring that there was a need for two art teachers in our district, and I was offered both positions! I ultimately chose the new school in our district, and I am THRILLED to be a part of it! I know a lot of the staff there, and I can already tell it is just SUCH a positive place, which is just what I need. And did I mention it's a new school, only going into its third year? So everything is still so nice and pretty and new :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After nine years in second grade at the same school, this is going to be a HUGE change for me! I've only ever taught 2nd (unless you count my semester student teaching in 3rd). I am <strike>a little</strike> really nervous about those kinders.... they are so leeeeettle! But I am ohhhh-so excited to do teach and do art all day long, and not have to worry about all of the other "stuff" that comes with being a regular classroom teacher. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am not sure what the future of this blog will be. I can't decide if I should make it all about art, start a new art blog, post past ideas I would do in 2nd.... I am not sure! What I DO know is that I am still creating resources for <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Lauren-Lynes" target="_blank">TPT</a> because I just really, really enjoy making things for kids, and things I know I would use in my own classroom! In fact, I wanted to show some of my newest ones to you!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had a request to do some monthly literacy centers, and I have really enjoyed making these over the summer! I am excited to know that even though I won't be able to use them, that other teachers and students will get to! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am going to give one follower their choice of centers! Please leave a comment with your pick along with your email address, and I will choose a winner soon! Click on each picture to see the previews in my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Lauren-Lynes" target="_blank">TPT store</a>! I hope you will love them :)</div>

April Fools Day is a little over a week away! Do you like to play pranks on people? Or do you just try to go about your day like normal?

Can you believe February is just about over? I feel like it was just Christmas break, and I blinked and now it's almost March!<br />
<br />
We've been having fun in 2nd grade! We learned all about penguins and celebrated Valentine's Day and the 100th Day! Take a peek at what we've been up to :)<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">We started our <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Penguins-Printables-Centers-Actvities-to-Enhance-Any-Penguin-Unit-451124" target="_blank">penguin unit</a> by having our students infer what "regurgitate" means. A few knew what it meant, but most were shocked and disgusted by what it meant :)</span><br />

Then throughout the week we read lots and lots of books, especially nonfiction text, about PENGUINS! We kept track of some new vocabulary words as we learned their meanings. </div>

And of course we had to write all we learned about penguins! Sometimes you have limited copy counts, so you can't use cutesy paper :) We did a quick directed drawing to go with our writing instead! They turned out pretty stinking cute!</div>

We also celebrated Valentine's Day! We had our very first Valentine's breakfast, and then we made our giant heart sacks to store our valentines. While kids handed out their valentines, they worked on <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/All-You-Need-is-LOVE-Valentines-Day-Printables-1643816" target="_blank">several pages from my valentine printables</a>. Then in the afternoon, we opened up valentines and did some <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Valentines-Candy-Heart-Fun-470148" target="_blank">candy heart fun</a>!</div>

We like for our kids to come in that morning to a banner, and butcher paper does the trick! Quick and easy, and the kids think it's the coolest thing ever! Here are a couple versions we have done.<br />

One activity we always like to do is 100 Ways to Make 100! All you need to do is hang up a big piece of butcher paper and let the kids write 100 ways to make 100! You can do this a couple of ways... let them come up throughout the day and write their ways to make 100, or give them each a couple of sticky notes to stick up. I personally like giving them sticky notes, that way they aren't having to wait on each other and it's done a lot quicker :)</div>

And of course, we have to make ourselves when we are 100 and then write about it! I know there are old age "photobooth" apps you can use now, but here are some easy peasy craftivities if you don't have time to print photos of your kiddos! Or you could always do both :) You just need some construction paper and cotton balls to make these cuties!</div>

My bloggy buddies from I Teach Second and I are linking up today to share the ideas that we love most! I decided to share about our fun with a mean, grouchy, green guy who we see at Christmastime :) This is one of my <i>favorite</i> units that we do all year! We are starting ours next week!<br />
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>**In case you were unaware, it is against copyright to use the "G" word in any products on TpT! So if you search, you may want to search words like "mean, green" or "you're a mean one," etc.**</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
We always read the book, and make a chart about our mean, green guy's character traits. Then we write adjectives to compare his heart at the beginning of the story to his heart at the end of the story. I believe this idea originally came from Cara Carroll a few years ago?!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

We then have our kids write about our mean, green friend at the beginning and the end of the story. They add adjectives to his heart, too!</div>

We also work on antonyms. We use a lot of the character traits and words that described his heart and do a whole group matching game. The kids always love this!</div>

Our mean, green friend stole gifts from everyone in the town, and he always drops the gifts off to our classroom so that we can measure them. He wants to be sure that they will fit into his sack! The kids always get a kick out of this :)</div>

I hope you've been able to get some great deals today! I am sitting at home, enjoying another day off! We had an ice storm this weekend... The roads were totally fine, but the ice caused a lot of tree limbs and power lines to come down. We only lost power for a few hours on Saturday, but there are businesses, schools, and families who have been without power since Friday and are still without. <br />
<br />

GIVEAWAY!Hey friends! I can't believe Thanksgiving has come and gone! I hope you were able to spend the day with your loved ones and were able to eat lots of delicious food :) I am so excited that Christmas is just around the corner!<br />
<br />
If you are anything like me, you LOVE to read lots and lots of Christmas books to your students! There are SO many cute ones out there! I wanted to have some meaningful activities to go along with some of the books, so I created a <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Christmas-Read-Aloud-Pack-2228441" target="_blank">pack of activities</a> to go along with 7 of my favorite books!<br />
<br />

I can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving! I am looking so forward to spending time with my sweet Mia Nicole and to eat lots of delicious food :)<br />
<br />
Last week we read <u>A Turkey for Thanksgiving</u> in our basal reader, and worked on retelling the beginning, middle, and end of the story. The kids loved this book! We also made these cute little turkeys and wrote what we were thankful for and why. I don't know who made these turkeys originally, but I have seen them all over Pinterest and Facebook, but ohemgee, are their eyes not the cutest?!<br />

We have been learning about the different Native American regions this week. After each region, we do some kind of craft or edible activity :) <br />
<br />
We made Totem poles that represented people or pets that were important to us!<br />

And yesterday we learned all about the Pilgrims and their voyage on the Mayflower. Instead of a feast, we had a Mayflower snack, which consisted of things similar to what the Pilgrims ate on the Mayflower... cheese, jerky, and crackers! Then we made these little suitcases! {I whipped these up last minute, so not the cutest, but the kids loved them!}<br />

Today I wanted to share with you some <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/No-Prep-Fluency-Phrase-Games-Frys-First-300-Words-2179840" target="_blank">games I created</a> to help our kiddos with their reading fluency. These games use Fry's Phrases for the First 100, Second 100, and Third 100 words. We started using them last week and our kids are LOVING them! We use them for a couple of minutes at the beginning of our intervention to get our kiddos prepared and focused on their fluency.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The games are sorted by level, so it makes for super quick and easy differentiation! I decided to copy each level on a different color of paper. {Here you can see that I copied the games for the First 100 Words on yellow paper, the Second 100 Words on green paper, and the Third 100 Words on blue paper}.</div>

It was a VERY tiring week! Thank goodness for Starbucks and lots of GoNoodle! <div>

We managed to fit in some <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fun-with-Pumpkins-Printables-Craftivities-874622" target="_blank">pumpkin fun</a>! We started off with some nonfiction books about pumpkins, including <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had our kids work on <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fun-with-Pumpkins-Printables-Craftivities-874622" target="_blank">main idea and details</a>, and also <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fun-with-Pumpkins-Printables-Craftivities-874622" target="_blank">illustrating the life cycle of a pumpkin</a>. {Of course I failed to take pictures of their work!!

We compared and contrasted apples and pumpkins together, then our kiddos filled out their own <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fun-with-Pumpkins-Printables-Craftivities-874622" target="_blank">venn diagrams</a>. <div>

Our kiddos still need some extra practice with adjectives. It seems to be a tough concept for some of them. I saw this idea a few times in Instagram and Pinterest and just <i>knew</i> we had to do it! We gave each table a pumpkin and a sharpie. First, they brainstormed adjectives that described their pumpkin. Then, they took turns writing the adjectives right on the pumpkin! This was a big hit! We still had some friends who wanted to write things like, "They grow on vines," or, "They have a stem," so it is something we need to keep working on. However, I do feel like we had some a-ha moments. And we had a cute little adjective pumpkin patch outside of our room when it was said and done!</div>

We did some <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fun-with-Pumpkins-Printables-Craftivities-874622" target="_blank">pumpkin estimating and investigating</a>! Students worked in groups of three and had to estimate how much their pumpkin weighed, how tall it was, the circumference of it, and how many lines it had. Then they had to find out the answers. They had a lot of fun with this!</div>

Last but not least, we did one of my favorite craftivities! Again, we worked on adjectives and had our kiddos describe the outside of a pumpkin. Then we cut a couple of pumpkins open and had them describe the inside. Then we made our inside/outside craftivities! The kids thought these were the coolest things around :) </div>
