This and That

Yesterday Miss Kindergarten posted about some sweet number practice pages she has on her TPT site. I really like them and her entire TPT store in 20% off today! Hope on over there and check it out!



Last year my team purchased some teen number pages similar to these and I really liked working through the pages as we learned the teen numbers. What I particularly like about Miss Kindergarten's pages are how they "make it" and "build it" parts. I usually have my kiddos use stampy markers to make the number and I plan to have them use unifix cubes to build and then color the number too. Then I'll probably have them photograph their unifix stick with their iPads and record something about the number we're working on. I love how these sheets provide opportunities for hands on practice in addition to paper/pencil because kids love to have busy  hands. Her pack includes 58 pages that I plan to incorporate into math practice and morning work for number practice/review. 

Thanks Miss Kindergarten! 

Yesterday I was out shopping at JCrew with the Sneaker family and I met a fellow blogger that I've been following for years. I was at the register providing my info because Mr. Sneaker wanted to order a shirt that is available online only. If you place the order in the store the shipping is free. {sidenote: I scored a super cute outfit that was on sale with an additional 50% off, AND they honored the 15% off teacher discount. The pants were $15 and the shirt was $21. Super good deals for spendy JCrew!} 


Anyway, at the register, after I said my name, Roxanne from Books that Heal Kids, who was browsing through some jewelry near the register turned to me and said, "Do you have a blog? Are you Sneaker Teacher?" Ahhhhh! Never in a million years did I think I would have that moment! Roxanne is a school counselor has a great blog with terrific book reviews and recommendations for teachers. How fun to meet her in person! If you haven't seen her blog check it out!

Oh, and this...


Have you ever met a fellow blogger in person? 
What blogger would you love to meet?

That's awesome!

I did have that experience one time when I was watching Caroline do a race and someone yelled out "hey, She Wears a Red Sox Cap!" haha. It wasn't someone I knew but she read my blog- so cool!
