I Couldn't Help Myself!

Hi Peeps! Kerri here...
I have an obsession with all things "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!" I love to read this book during the first week of school and teach my class how to make their own Chicka Boom Tree out of construction paper. (Directions in a forthcoming post) They LOVE it!  I also have 2 Chicka Chicka Boom Boom trees in my classroom-one against my back wall and another that is free standing and...wait for it....lights up! I got it for $11 two years ago at Big Lots and I about died when I saw it. I hang cut out letters all over it. Check 'em out...


So, when strolling through the aisles yesterday at Target, my daughter showed me this wee baby light up Palm Tree that PLAYS MUSIC, and I really and truly tried to abstain. Even though it was on clearance. And  plays "Wipe Out' and "Jump in the Line" (my personal conga line favorite!).  And flashes little lights as it sings. I ALMOST walked away. Then my 8 year old turned it on and started busting a move in the aisle. I could feel my resolve wavering. When she started spouting Classroom Management techniques to me (Mom, you can turn it on and let your kids get out their wiggles!!), I knew it had to be mine!! 
And here it is, the little darling!

I plan on hanging foamy letters all over it and displaying it proudly in my classroom! $10.48 on clearance at Target, and worth every penny to see my little girl shake her booty down the aisle!!
Hurry, Peeps, and go grab yourself one before it's too late!!

I just about grabbed one of these the other day for my jungle themed classroom, but I just couldn't justify adding another $11.00 to my shopping cart of dollar spot finds! Maybe I can sneak back some time this week....

Kerri-- I used this theme 2 years ago and made a HUGE palm tree on my door with the saying, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Welcome to Our Classroom!" and made the nametags using the students initials. It was such a hit! Even the older kids in the hall would come by and say, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! Welcome to Our Classroom!" They loved it! :)

With the economy on the stones, automobile dealerships are significantly more mindful with regards to picking the right possibility for their items. payday loans san-diego

My best educator was my sixth grade instructor, Mrs. Harris. She roused me to turn into an educator. I am currently going into my lesser year in school and my major is instruction. Why she was my preferred instructor? All things considered, Mrs. Harris is a severe instructor. Exacting, yet our whole school cherished her. Each time we had a get together and her name got declared, everybody cheered as well as held up. I don't have a clue what it is about her. She encouraged my evaluation with a fifth grade class. So for a minute she'll be helping the fifth graders, Indian Dresses next she'll be helping the 6th graders. Now and again.

Instructors who put down understudies with sarcasm.Teachers who attempt to be one of the understudies. Educators who anticipate things of the understudies (like appearing on schedule) that they don't appear to have the option to do themselves. Instructors, budget web Dubai service who ponder themselves and put on an act, as opposed to educating. Instructors who think they must form understudy suppositions to coordinate theirs on political, strict, social or monetary issues.
