Recently, I stopped by Target and did some damage.  I plan on giving my teacher's desk at school a makeover and I must get healthy!  Green juice here I come!!!!    Check out my latest You Tube video: A Target Teaching Haul!

One of my favorite end of the year writing prompts is, 'If you could send Ms. Chako anywhere on vacation where would you send her?'  This writing prompt is loads of fun kinder-5th grade!  I have traveled to Egypt, Mars, Fiji, and this year WATCH OUT!  I am going to MinnesO-da.  Oh boy.  Seriously, you must try this out with your students.  I bind all the pages and turn them in to a nice end of the year keepsake.  On the last day of school I come home, pour a glass of wine, and Mr. Winemaker and I read each of my adventures.  We laugh and reminisce about my fabulous students.  (P.S. Have you read Mr. Winemakers post 'What is it like to date a teacher?'  If not check it out! Let me know what you think!)

This magical land sounds intriguing....

MEAT!  WINGS?!?!? Lots and LOTS of meat will be devoured in Minnesota.  Throw me a bib and a wet wipe it's about to get crazy up in here!  

Mr. Winemaker was even included in some of the pics.  He visits school at least once a year.  He loves getting to know my kiddos since I talk about them so much!  

Thank you for stopping by my blog it means so much!
