Earth Day Freebie!

Hey there!  Happy Monday!  Another week down and not many more to go.  I don’t know about you, but I am feeling the crunch to get everything in.  Ahhh!  Anyway, while I was lesson planning on Sunday night, I went through some of my Earth Day books and came across this one.

Book.grover10

I believe I picked it up a while back in the dollar section at Target?  I even think it may have been last year?  Anyhow, I know you can get it other places as well.  It is a fun book and my firsties do enjoy it, even though they are “too old'” for Sesame Street (wink,wink).

I decided at the last minute to create a little comprehension/writing/interactive packet for my kiddos.  So I started at o’late thirty and came up with this.

Let’s Get Aquainted|Linky Party

Hey there!  I saw this little linky party post and thought I would spice up the blog a bit. 

linky party2

TOPIC -Skittles Game

Here is the code:

Red- Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

Orange- Favorite Memory from College

Yellow- Favorite Sports Team

Green- Favorite Fast Food Place

Purple- Wild Card(Tell anything about yourself)

 

RED: hmm…let’s see.  I love me some ice cream.  Although, these days I favor frozen yogurt.  So I’ll go with that.  I would say it’s a tie between these two.

birthday-cupcakenew-york-cheesecake

Birthday Cake and Cheesecake.  Notice the pattern?  I love them both.

Orange: Since I went to college close to home and commuted, I would have to say my favorite memories were of visiting my BFF at UCSB.  It was always such a good time.  Almost as good as going to college there, although I am not sure I would have gotten too much work done there.:)

Yellow: Favorite Sports Team(s). Easy.

I had to choose two.

Green:Fast food.  Well if we go with all time, I would say…

Oh geez.  Soooooo good.  Animal style all the way.

Purple: Wild Card

I used to work for many scrapbooking companies and created many layouts and projects for them.  I LOVE to scrap!

Okay, that’s all!  Have a great day!  Thanks for visiting.

Open House

Hey teacher friends!

   I can't believe that it has been months since I last posted.  Hopefully that is about to change!  I will finally be able to get some things off of my to do list after this week!  We have a school visit this week, Open House, and then finally, Spring Break!  Ahhhhhhh...can't wait!

  As I was getting my class portfolios together, I thought I would spiffy them up a bit.  Well, one thing led to another and I put together a set to sell on TPT!  yay me!  Here is what it looks like.

It is a portfolio put together that represents the entire school year.  Now, we are not done with the year, so I either keep it for them and let them take it home at the end, or just send it home and let the parents “fill” it.

As I was putting this together, I thought it would be good to add grades k-3.  They look like the cover, only with the corresponding grade written.  Also, there are boy and girl superheros.

My kiddos will be getting these done tomorrow.  Nothing like last minute, right?

Have a great Monday!

This little girl is my heart.  I am lucky that she calls me momma.  I love her to pieces.  Still can’t believe that she is 8.

Good times with my girl.  Our evenings are busy.  I am always correcting, creating, or trying to get organized for the next school day as well as trying to create fun times with Alyson.  This photo captures one day this week when she insisted on a game of headbands.  What a great choice.

My little photography business.  It has blessed me in so many ways.  Capturing memories for families, is completely awesome. (Click the photo to take a look).

My blog.  I have blogged over here for over 5 years.  (Not all posts are there).  And I love that I can glance back to see what we were doing at any given time of year.

And of course, ALL the teacher blogs out there.  They have inspired me in many ways.  Thank YOU! 

Thanks for stopping in!

The Three Pigs

  Hey there!  I am glad to see I have some new followers and so many have enjoyed my freebie.  I finally finished my Three Pigs Unit.  Every year we use this story along with our unit on Homes and Family.  I have struggled for years trying to find some meaningful activities to do with the kiddos.  So, I created some!  Eventually, I hope to add to this unit, so make sure to follow my store so I can send you updates.
