Lucky You! Blog Hop

March 13, 2015 By fancyfreein4th

      Happy Friday the 13th! To counteract all of that “bad luck” that this day is rumored to bring, I have teamed up with 20 FANTASTIC, upper elementary bloggers to shower you with some amazing St. Patrick’s Day freebies!

     My students have loved learning about Idioms this year. Let’s be honest, they practically B.E.G for them everyday.  Most of my kiddos are English Language Learners and idioms baffle them.  So instead of having them stress out over the meaning of these funny phrases, we have fully embraced them by going over an idiom a day.
   Everyday, after recess we review an idiom from my Idiom a Day pack. We draw a picture of what we think it literally sounds like, and then they guess what they think it means. I help them out by using it in context… often in funny ways- using the students as the subject in the sentence or my kids and husband in it. They EAT.IT. UP!  
So, for your fabulous freebie, I created a set of St. Patrick’s Day Idioms!

   You will get  16 Idioms that relate to St. Patrick’s day in some way- whether it be luck, or green or money!  This is an easy 5 minute addition to your St. Patrick’s week that will engage and expand your student’s language!  You can grab this freebie here, at my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Continue on this Freebie trail… You have to see what Tabitha from Flap Jack Educational Resources has in store for you!

There’s so much advice I would tell first year- There’s so much advice I would tell first year- teacher-me…. Especially after the last (almost) 2 years of teaching; barely afloat. This year is so hard. I have to stop regularly and tell my student teacher, “it’s never been like this”. But to my core, it’s always been- children first, relationships first, or nothing else matters. Though this year is tough in new ways, there’s still much hope and laughter each day. Thanks @eveleon26 for reminding me of my first, wonderful year of teaching- so I can bring that energy, excitement each day- no matter the circumstance. For all of my teacher friends out there, I see you- I know it’s hard- and I’m grateful for you. (P.S-it’s almost winter break, you got this!) #tiredteacher #cleareyesfullheartscantlose
