CELLiS Health....who knew?!!

I really love my job teaching and have been in some direct sales companies over the years, but never got in at the ground level.  I did some searches on Google a few months back just trying to find something that I had never heard of that was interesting to me......well..... nothing popped up with flying colors.  Like I said, I love my job, but sometimes it is nice to have a little extra income coming in!  I just decided to move on and knew that the Lord would open a door when the time was right and I would know.

Well, a few weeks ago I saw a post on FB about a new company. I knew the lady that had posted it because she is related to my sister-in-law, but also very well known in the direct sales business.  She told me about a new company that was getting ready to launch and how exciting it was going to be to get in at the ground level.  Well, the company launched Tuesday, June 26th and in 5 days I have signed up 7 people on my team! I'm so excited for this momentum to continue and I know that many more people would love to get in at the ground level!

If you are interested, like CELLiS Now on FB and message me for more information.  I would love to personally invite you to my team.  Getting in at the ground level will be HUGE!!!

Here is a little information about the process, videos to watch and what products we will be selling!!

Email me at krisrichardson20@gmail.com for more information!!

THIS WILL BE HUGE and you will want to get in!! 

YouTube Videos as Mini Lessons

I absolutely love to use YouTube videos in my lessons each week.  I normally try and find a few each week to go with the lessons that I am working on and use them as a mini lesson.  My goal is to get a few more completed and posted to my TPT site, but finding the time these days seems HARD!  I'm at home now with my sick son, so I'm trying to get a few things done! Check out a few of my products below that I have put on TPT that have big hits in my classroom this year! As always, please follow me on my TPT store and on my FB page!  Thanks so much for reading!

ISTEP Treats

ISTEP (Indiana's state test for students) is here for my 4th graders this week.  Each day they have walked in to a special treat on their desk to eat before or after the test.  Thankfully I have some great parents that sent in some requested goodies for me to use this week.  My teacher partner and I used https://www.volunteerspot.com to have parents sign up to send in items for our class party!  It was WONDERFUL and was a quick and easy website to navigate!  Our list of needs was filled within a few hours of sending out the first email!

Kentucky Derby Fun!

I know it is only March, but blink and it will be MAY!  I'm trying to plan ahead because that is how I roll (NOT).  I like to think I plan ahead, but for some reason that never happens!  Below you will find a Kentucky Derby Unit that I created for my class last year and it was a hit!

The Kentucky Derby is a local event that is known world wide, so I thought I would plan some activities for my students to complete on Oaks Day (the day before the Derby).  Many of my students don't know much about the Derby and we are only 45 minutes away from Louisville, Kentucky where the Derby is held each May.  

I created these fun card to use on Oaks Day. You will find QR codes that have videos where students (or the class) can watch about the History of the Kentucky Derby, Listen to the Call to the Post, Listen to the song “My Old Kentucky Home,” and listen many horse related picture books read aloud on YouTube.  All QR codes will work on student devices since they are linked to Dropbox or Google Drive.

We also printed off a current list of horses running in the Kentucky Derby and students wrote narratives from the point of view of the horses, and told facts they had learned about throughout the day.  We then used the template from Eva Robinson at https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-Kentucky-Derby-A-Writing-and-Craft-Freebie-656923 and made horses to hang in the hallway.  

Here are the horses we made with the template from Eva Robinson.

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Last year my teaching partner and I decided to do the 12 days of Christmas with our classes and give them a small treat each day.  We had no idea how much our students would love this.  We figured after eating the small treat they would throw out the tags, but we were wrong!  Our students started hanging the tags off of their desks and then had to move them to their cubbies to show them off.  I hope you and your students enjoy these as much as we did!

Fruit Rainbow....to our pot of GOLD! :)

My teaching partner at Wooten's Fourth Grade Wonders found a Pinterest activity that was in the shape of a rainbow and ended with a pot of gold.  Our students LOVED it and actually most ALL of them ate ALL of the fruit!  It amazes me each year when my students don't know what some fruit tastes like.  We had fun making our rainbow and then sharing with with our kids!  Thanks to all the parents who sent in fruit for this activity!
