Testing Time!

All over NC, children in 3rd through 8th grade (plus 10th grade) will be taking their End of Grade tests during the month of May.  Here are some ideas to encourage children to just try their best and not stress about these tests!  The teachers I worked with not administering tests to students would adopt a class and each morning the children in their class would provide a positive message to the children taking tests.  Maybe your classroom could do this as well!!  Oh... by the way parents...if your child is taking these tests, you too could send one of these items with them each day or before they leave for school!!

On this blog are various treat ideas for each test being administered.
Tags to make with the treat indicated below the tag.





This site has several tags to make.  Oh by the way...Dollar Tree has tons of glow sticks!!

Where In NC.....

I'm needing a little help....as you know Harley Man and I belong to a H.O.G. Chapter in NC.  We love to visit new places across the state and we are always looking for ideas.  So why do I need help? 

Well, I'd love to hear about some out of the way places you've visited in NC...small towns, restaurants, exhibits or festivals.  Over the years we've found so many places by word of mouth, no way we would have found them on our own!!!  So...if you've found some also, I'd love for you to share your suggestions!! 
No rides this weekend for us...Harley Man is doing a Monster Truck Show...but next weekend I head to Discovery Place to view Mummies of the World!!!  Should be lots of fun!!!

What To Do In NC This Month???

Do you wish there were some great places to visit in NC during September??  I know I love to find events happening on the weekends, especially this time of the year.  There are several I know about coming up soon and some I just found out about when doing a little investigation.  So grab your family, your camera and head out one weekend to a nearby festival for something fun and different to do!
