Freshly Baked Friday



So it is already July....yep that is what I said, JULY. For teachers this is the time of year when we just start getting our deep tans and summer groove goin' on, only to be wrenched back into reality by the dreaded...BACK TO SCHOOL ads!!! Hiss..Hiss.. AHHHH!

But, what can we do but embrace our fate and join right in? I confess I have already started laminating and cutting out new classroom decor. So for this weeks Freshly Baked Friday I present my freshly written

I really cannot wait to use this in my own classroom. It probably will be within the first few days. I think that the poem will show students what they can expect from my classroom, a loving and sweet environment!
I also think that working together to come up with ideas about what ingredients should and should not go into it using the included anchor chart will be a great team-building experience for my class.  I really do love hearing what students think and it is a great step in getting to know them first thing. I also think this activity sets the tone for the year. It will help my kiddos know what works and what doesn't and that we are all responsible for the "mix" in our classroom!
So if you need a sweet little icebreaker for your back to school routine, check this out!
P.S. To make it extra tasty it is only $1!! 



Sweet tea wishes and Cowboy dreams!!
