I am obsessed with how amazingly well my kiddos do with Busy Bins! Have you heard about them yet? WELL, they are the bees knees! I was so bogged down with silly morning work worksheets. I was over the fact some students would finish in 2 minutes while others would literally be rolling around on the floor because one they didn't want to do a worksheet or two because the material was too hard for them. So, over the summer I came up with a genius (in my humble opinion) idea to create something that would be: hands-on, follow the standards, incorporate science (which is always a task), and allow for students to stay engaged at their level of learning. What I came up with was "Busy Bins". These aren't your typical STEM or STEAM learning boxes, these are SO much more. Busy Bins incorporate it all! BONUS they are free to be changed up as you see fit for <u>your</u> kiddos!!<br />
<br />
Please, I am begging you to PLEASE try to spice up your morning routine. Students are bored with worksheets and I know as a teacher I was bored of them too!! As my gift to you, I am giving you a free look into Busy Bins as well as a FREE Busy Bin starter of your own. All you have to do is sign up for my email list and your freebie will immediately be sent to you. As a subscriber you will also get my free Busy Bin starter kit within the next few weeks. What do you say? Are you ready to make a change!?<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are a few photos of Busy Bins:<br />

It felt like I was working in a nursing home haha! My kiddos dressed up as old 100 year olds! They brought in walkers and canes and played the part all day. I dressed up as a crazy old cat lady and matched one of my students.<br />
Here's what the day included:<br />
*Dressing up as 100 year olds (almost all students participated)<br />
*Writing 100 words<br />
*Writing 100 reasons why we love first grade<br />
*100 item mystery bags with clues (we tried to figure out what was in the bags)<br />
*Building a structure using 100 blocks<br />
*Counting to 100 several different ways using Bingo dabbers and creating gum ball machines<br />
*Counting and sorting snacks to make 100 day snack mix<br />
*100 day crowns- adding 100 stickers<br />
*100 chart number puzzles<br />
<br />
The kiddos were split up into partners and they visited each station. SO much fun! It was one of my favorite days yet! <3<br />

EEEP! I am obsessed with these adorable funtivities! The kiddos have LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the Three Little Pigs portion of our Fairy Tales unit! Today, we retold the story using our retelling puppets. Then we wrote a letter to the Big Bad Wolf. To finish up, students wrote a summary of the story and then completed the the piggy craft. We've had a lot of fun! I can't wait to introduce our new fairy tale tomorrow! Check back to see what fairy we will cover next!<br />

So today I started brainstorming some ways as to how I could gain some more followers on my TpT store. I just feel like I've hit a wall or something. I've been feeling really defeated by the fact that I put in so much time, energy, and love into my products and I am not seeing the turnaround that I would have thought would be happening. So, I decided to do a fun giveaway for the month of February!! Below is the advertisement I created to help promote my giveaway for February. Basically, all one has to do is follow me on Teachers Pay Teachers and at the end of February all my TpT followers will be sent a link via TpT messages. The link will allow my followers to enter the contest. One must be following me on TpT to receive the special link =)! Then, I will announce the winners through my social media platforms. I am excited to get some more followers and traffic to my store! I am hoping some of my fellow TpT friends will support me in this effort by sharing the advertisement I created!! (*wink, wink*) <br />

I've also been SUPER busy creating a fun fairy tales unit! We are learning about fairy tales in first grade, and what better way to teach fairy tales than to teach them with craftivities?!? YAY!! I can't wait to post photos of the kiddos completing these adorable little crafts and learning activities that go along with some of my favorite fairy tales! Check out the unit here:</div>

Also, in the middle of what *might* seem like crazy times in our world, remember our kiddos are looking to US everyday as their role models. - please remember to be kind, calm, and composed. I know it's easy to be depressed, angry, grouchy, etc. STOP. We are teachers. We are everything and more to a lot of our students. Our kiddos have enough stuff to worry about, don't let them see you off your game. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OK.</div>

<span class="s1">I've also liked coming up with new materials for first grade. Today we played a new game called Gather the Apples. The students took turns spinning the spinner and gathering apples, if they landed on a worm they had to put their apples back into the pile. At the end of the game, the kiddo with the most apples won! I loved how much laughter and counting was taking place! It was a success! Once a new game is taught and learned it will go into a station basket. I also do that with any hands on activities we do in class. Stations are such a great way to reinforce learning, and the students love them. You can purchase Gather the Apples, it's part of my Apple Themed Math Center packet. </span></div>

So last year I tried the new "hype" of flexible seating, actually I'd call it more "Flexible Seating with Options". It's not quite flexible seating where I've gotten rid of all the desks and tables. I haven't totally gotten rid of desks for the children because research shows that many children thrive from having their own "personal space", so to totally get rid of that option for children could in my opinion, be counterproductive. However, all children learn in different ways and in different environments, therefore, I <u>truly</u> believe in my "Flexible Seating with Options".<br />
<br />
Here's the scoop:<br />
<br />
Each child is assigned their own desk- they get to choose their own desk on the first day of school, maybe they like the front, maybe the back...I obviously don't know them yet and we're all a little uncomfortable on the first day, so I do whatever I can to make them more comfortable and I've noticed by giving them freedom before school even starts shows them I respect and value their wants and needs. With that being said, <i>they have the option of being at their desk as much or as little as they please. </i><br />
<br />
During whole group lessons, I teach on the floor with the children surrounding me. I have blankets, pillows, yoga mats, butterfly chairs, and beanbag chairs for them to sit on or with(if they want to). I never force anything upon them, but instead give them a lot of freedom and choices.<br />
<br />
During independent work time, children have the option at working at their assigned desk areas, on the couch, on the floor with clipboards, on yoga balls, in beanbag chairs, with a yoga mat, on a blanket, or on one of the many fun rugs I have placed around the room. Even with all of the seating options, many children will still find it most comfortable to work at their desks, therefore I am totally against getting rid of desks altogether.<br />
<br />
I have enough clipboards and seating options to accommodate all students in the classroom, just in case all students would like the option to work away from their desks and on the floor.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the year we establish firm procedures and routines for flexible seating (I will go over those in a later post). Please feel free to ask any questions!!<br />

Today was a fun day in second grade. I decided to give my kiddos a new experience and let them try sushi and wasabi! Most of the class tried it, some refused, I even had one run away! It was the first time all but one of my students had even tried sushi, and most had never even seen it. I love giving them life experiences.<br />

This week was exciting and somewhat stressful...<br />
<br />
Here's my little Jonah at preschool. He is so stinking adorable! I can hardly handle all of his cuteness. I am so proud of how much he has grown up being in preschool this year. He is so much more independent now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And here is Dominic. He had quite a spill playing at recess this week... chipped his permanent tooth. UGH! It kinda reminded us of LLoyd from Dumb & Dumber... if we don't find light in these situations we will just cry!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Anthony's phone broke, we found out the lot we bought for our new house is on top of a natural spring (sigh), Dom chipped his tooth, and on top of all of that we are in the busiest time of the year at school. With all of that being said, I am thankful for my beautiful family and wonderful job. I love that I get to work with my hubby everyday and that my kiddos are at the school, too. Life is hard, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Annnnd the hubs and I decided to plan a getaway to sunny Vegas for the week for Spring Break... Can't wait!!<br />

I am literally sitting on couch trying to figure out the best way to get as many followers as possible! I am in the process of a blog redesign and I've paid a pretty penny to get an amazing blog design and I do not want it to go to waste! I've done linky parties, started an Instagram for Sparkle in Second, I am going to do a Currently every month, and I am going to start following more blogs myself. If anyone is reading this and has some advice, please let me know! I would be super happy! THANK YOU!<br />
<br />
BTW, I just went completely overboard at Target and the Dollar Tree today. It was like Christmas morning!!!! The stuff completely adorable!! I died and went to heaven! Thanks to my super awesome hubs who spoils me rotten especially when it comes to my classroom...<br />

My student's love all of the different templates, they have also been doing great on their tests! I think the coloring helps ease the stress kiddos sometimes have when taking tests!</span></div>

It's a packet of word study foldables! I am in love with foldables and so are my kiddos. We do at least one a week and also use them a ton in our interactive math and reading notebooks. They are a fun and easy way to get students engaged. I also love them because they are an easy formative assessment. Check out this amazing product!</span><div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am going to try something... I was inspired by another TpT seller that sold their new products at 20% off- I thought that was a great idea considering new products often have a hard time selling because there isn't feedback!! Hopefully it works! (leave feedback hint hint)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am going to be posting a fun freebie today! I know this is a stressful time of the year for a lot of teachers because of the testing that is happening. Hopefully the freebie will brighten up you and your kiddos week. Have a great week!</span></div>

Last week, I had someone give me negative feedback on my best selling product that has a 4.0 rating with 45 ratings and it made me sick to my stomach. I am upset because she was complaining about how the product wasn't what she wanted and it didn't cover the standards she was teaching. However, the product was created with specific standards in mind (which are CLEARLY posted on the item description). It was her mistake she bought my product in the first and it <u>wasn't my mistake at all.</u> She needed to have purchased a product that was geared towards K-1 and not 2nd grade... </span><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It hurt my feelings. It literally ruined my entire DAY! I am/was upset because it wasn't anything that I should have been penalized for-instead it was her fault for not reading my product description- yet I have to pay for her mistake. </span><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I need advice on how to handle these circumstances because this did not go over well with me at ALL! Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do? How did you handle it? Can anyone give me some advice?</span></div></div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br></span></div>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09563046816222921193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564135604890030741.post-46875072632879816482015-02-04T13:58:00.003-06:002015-02-04T13:58:35.880-06:00Currently February <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I found out this week that I am going to be going to a Fleetwood Mac concert on Valentine's Day! I AM SO EXCITED! If you know anything about me, you know that I am a music junkie- especially classic rock and Fleetwood Mac will always hold a special place in my <3. Also, the tickets are on the floor which is going to make this experience EVEN better! I can't wait!! </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here's a picture of the hubby and I going out in the blizzard on Sunday! IT WAS so scary! But, he's the best driver- and we have a Jeep which makes matters better...not PERFECT but better. I want everyone to know that just because we have a Jeep doesn't make us invincible! It's still very terrifying for me to travel in the snow. </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm definitely the Queen of Comfort because as soon as I get home from teaching, before I do ANYTHING, I change into yoga pants and big hooded sweatshirts. My hubby says that I am a "yoga pants ninja". I take pride in that! Also, I am all about massages, facials, long baths, fluffy pillows, etc. Basically anything that is comfy you can find me taking part in it! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've been working hard on some fun products that will hopefully be helpful for you all! I want to encourage all of you to take some time in February and talk to your kiddos about dental health. As a mommy and a teacher I can't stress the value of healthy teeth enough. In my teaching days, I've seen so many kiddos with cavities and dental health problems and it scares me to think about the days to come for some of them! I'd like to think the unit I've come up with will save some of your students sweet little little teeth! I can't wait to teach this unit to my kiddos. I think they will love it! I am going to add it in at the end of the day 2-3x a week in February. Each lesson should only take about 10-15 minutes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Also, I've started to playing around with creating my own clipart. The clipart that I've come up with isn't that "great"...but it's cute and it's mine so I am proud. I've made it a *FREEBIE* just in time for Valentine's Day for all of my sweet TpT followers and fellow teachers. I am using it to make cute coupons for my kiddos. I hope you enjoy it! </span><br />

I've also spent some time helping colleagues learn the basics on how to earn some extra money on TpT! It's exciting for me to see some of my coworkers blossom into TpT sellers!<div><br></div><div>My latest project has me all excited! I'm almost done working on it and I'll be posting it to my store later this evening... </div><div><br></div><div>I've also been thinking about how to get more of a following on here... And I think offering some freebies might be a way to get some more followers! So, my next 10 followers will get to choose any product 5.00 and under from my store for *FREE*!! I will need you to also recommend or make a post about my blog and store on your blog to make it official! I'm really excited about this! So good luck and when you become a follower please leave a comment with product you would like! Thanks!!</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Jamie-Paino">http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Jamie-Paino</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RD-FXhyvqrs/VLKfz5ouvhI/AAAAAAAABeM/YSMR04tuGXg/s640/blogger-image-1483189420.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-RD-FXhyvqrs/VLKfz5ouvhI/AAAAAAAABeM/YSMR04tuGXg/s640/blogger-image-1483189420.jpg"></a></div>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09563046816222921193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564135604890030741.post-87205690124572417022014-08-01T07:57:00.001-05:002014-08-01T07:57:55.598-05:00Back to School..Back to School....<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, I am always trying NEW and fun things to get hyped up about my classroom and teaching. So I decided to completely redecorate my classroom. I went to a fun little cupcake place this summer with my husband and when we walked in it was decorated with chevron, teals, polkadots, ribbons, pinks, black & whites, & CUPCAKES! It was simply adorable and I FELL IN LOVE and I knew right then and there I needed to do something like this in my classroom. For the next 3 weeks, I became obsessed with making and finding things that would fit my motif. I painted, glued, created, and purchased until I was satisfied. (Honestly, I think this may be a work in progress because I am literally dreaming at night about what else I could be making or buying...it's a sickness ;)!!) I am ever so grateful for a husband who has put up with these shenanigans for the last few weeks. He's been great and so patient. I can't wait to show you all the finished product. I am going in later today to continue the madness that is my classroom. For now though, I wanted you to know that you too can have a classroom theme like mine! I am selling some of the products I made for my room in my store. I am also throwing a 20% off sale August 4th-6th! </span><br />

A lot has happened this school year in my personal life and I'd decided to take a break from the blogging world. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">To fill you all in, I got married to the man of my dreams, Anthony. He is an answer to prayer and my life has been nothing but extraordinary! I am so proud to be married to such a wonderful man. He has the most tender heart and loving personality. He loves my son Jonah as his own and would do anything for our little family. Along with Anthony comes Dominic his 5 year old son. I just adore these boys very much and couldn't be happier.</span></span><br />
