Hello from Kentucky! Yes, I’m in Kentucky right now for the Route 127 sale! I just LOVE the southern accents out here :o) BUT, I don’t think they like mine :o( I have been repeating myself for 2 days now….seriously! I think us Chicagoans talk too fast…lol. I have found many treasures today including 4 lava lamps for my peace themed classroom….S..C..O..R..E! I got a Candy Land board game…I use just the game board & figurines but use sight word cards & addition/subtraction games with it. I think I have 7 boards already. I found the game “upwords” & plan on using the letters for “word work”. I also found two mini chairs which I posted on my FB page that I plan on redoing with some Dr. Seuss magic. I might even jazz one up with some peace signs & tie dye. I promise I will post pictures when I get done…which might not be until Christmas break since I will be spending every waking moment in my classroom starting on Monday! Now onto my latest peace creation….
IF THERE IS A PARTICULAR WORD WALL THEME THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JUST LEAVE ME A COMMENT & I WILL WORK ON IT! I AM STARTING TO TAKE REQUESTS FOR THINGS SO PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT OR EMAIL ME (ON SIDEBAR).
Now for some info for all you first grade bloggers out there. There is an opportunity that I surely am not passing up & I wanted to let you know about it as well!
Click on Primary Connections to get in on all the fun.
Here is some info directly from their site.
A first grade collaboration of bloggers?
- Would you be interested in joining this type of blog? (If this is an idea that others would jump on board and participate in, I will ask for more specific information at a later time)
- I think a blog can have 100 authors so I imagine it would be a first come first serve option so that it is fair to all?
- I will try to create some kind of poll on Sunday so we can vote from the suggested names list.
Please blog about this so we can get more 1st grade bloggers on board and involved
Suggested Names so far: Thank you for participating!!
- “First Grade Connections” **
- “Frills and Thrills in First” or “Frills and Thrills in First Grade”
- “Fairly First” (not sure what that name would imply, but I like alliteration)
- “Floss Flowers in First” or “Little Floss Flowers of First” (it’s a flower…and it starts with an “f”, lol)

- “Flavors of First” or “Flavors of First Grade”

Love your peace word wall!! Have you seen the adorable little flower children at Thistle Girl? So cute!! I am also doing a peace theme in my room, but no tie-dye. I'm old enough to remember tie dye!!
I would love to see a "bug" themed word wall! 🙂
Thanks.

I just found your blog and purchased some of your Peace items. I have done this theme for 2 years now and didn't really know this was all out there. To get my kids' attention and quiet, I say "Groovy first graders!" and they say "PEACE!" with their 2 fingers up and they have to be looking at me and stop what they are doing. I love it!!! I look forward to seeing more of your neat Peace ideas!
Thanks for sharing the Useful information !
