Hello bloggers!
When I was home sick two weeks ago, I was doing some research on how to make a list. I know right? Isn't it obvious? But I wanted to make a list of meals that I would make for the whole month. I mean that's 28-30 dinners, 28-30 lunches and maybe breakfast on the weekends (besides cereal and toast). I read some other blogs for some guidance and ran across some fantastic grocery lists and a calendar of meals for a whole month! I was like, I can do that! Side note: I found this quote by a Greek oral poet:
It is best to do things systematically since
we are only human, and disorder is
our worst enemy.
Interesting.... The last week I have known exactly what I'm making for dinner and I feel like I actually save time at night because I already have things out and prepared for that nights meal!
Soooooo, you will find listed below, 28 dinners and links to the recipes. AND THEN next week you will find a grocery list that has all the ingredients for each dinner all laid out for you. Let's be real, I couldn't tackle the list of the dinners AND the grocery list in one week. A lot of these I have made so you can check my previous blogs for my reviews;)

I'm going to start attending a book study with area educators on Sunday's and we are going to dive into the book Minds on Mathematics- Using Math Workshop to Develop Deep Understanding in Grades 4-8. I'm really looking forward to learning more about conceptual learning. I'll update my bloggers every Sunday evening while its fresh in my mind:)
Listed above was Carne Asada Tacos~ I def. tried this recipe last night and it was DELICIOUS. I love this pic above that shows the marinated meat cookin' in the skillet!
My kindergarten and fourth grade kiddos did a little review with their measurement skills for President's Day. The original idea of the Abraham Lincoln life size poster that I made came from Doodle Bugs Teaching, a first grade blog.
I had my kiddos stand up next to
Lincoln and we taped a top hat to the wall where they measured up.
After that we discussed converting feet and inches (higher order
thinking for my kiddos). Just because they are in Title math doesn't
mean they can't begin to understand harder concepts;) Anyway, after
we talked about the measurements we compared the tallest 4th grader
and the tallest kindergartner and then found the difference between
the two. We did the same with the shortest and then compared the
shortest and tallest to Lincoln! Until next time ~ Stephanie
