MLK Drawings
Martin Luther King Jr.,
Social Studies
Tuesday, January 24, 2012
My students made MLK drawings last week and I couldn't help but post a few photos. They make them all so different and cute! I combined a few ideas from a few bloggers. I used the drawing directions from kindergartenmonkeybusiness.blogspot.com and then I used a freebie for the speech bubble but I can't remember who it was from. Instead of a black and white photo that was suggested I just used their class picture.
Lots of cute ideas!

In my district we do not get off for Martin Luther King Jr Day. My husband does however! I guess he gets a day of peace! I need this day to recuperate from all the cooking I did this weekend! I've been following some blogs that have freezer cooking on them so I thought I'd give it a try. I have a family of 7 so it cost us over $30 just to go to McDonald's! So I'm hoping this will help me when I am dog tired from teaching and still be able to provide a good meal!
This is what I made:
Sorry this post doesn't have to do with teaching but I'm off to Pinterest to check out the MLK ideas. I know I saw a lot out there! Some of the recipes I did are on there too!

Seven Things About Me!
1. I have 5 kids who are extremely active and loud right now. I'm trying to absorb myself into my blog! :)
2. I would love to be an Extreme Couponer! I was so excited to get my cough drops for free this week!
3. I have taken "baby" steps to get healthy! I joined a gym but only went once this week. My girlfriend wants me to go to spin but I think she's crazy! I want to try Zumba.
4. My husband and I are high school sweethearts! Hard to believe we've been together for 25 years!
5. I still have 2 baby teeth! Yep - I'm 41. Crazy heh?
6. I have 3 adorable cats. Ellie, Copper and Dexter. Every night, Copper sleeps above my head and Dexter lays his head on my pillow and puts his arm on my shoulder.
7. Even though this has been a tough year with my class I can't think of anything else I would do. I am researching more info on Whole Brain Teaching. Anyone able to help me out?
