Check back for pictures of the Weather Unit in action...

Last week we did our Animals in Winter unit...I didn't take pictures of this because my head was spinning trying to get back into the swing of things but you can find last year's post HERE & HERE.

Say Hey...It's the 100th Day!

We celebrated the 100th day today!  Yay!  Wow...it kinda snuck up on me seein's that I was out the past 3 1/2 months and all...but hey...we had FUN!  Here's some of what we did today.  But first, MY little sweetie...

We made 100th Day Crowns...you can find this pattern for FREE HERE.

 Kids being Kids....LOVE It!

We are learning about how animals survive during the winter months so our 100 murals this year are

100 Butterflies Migrating...we did interactive writing

and 100 Bears Hibernating

You can find what we did last year HERE and my 100th day Unit you can find HERE.

If you live near a Target, which most of you probably do, unlike me...I have to travel 50 minutes, but I found these cute little dry erase paddles there for, you guessed it, $1.00.  Great for small group fun!

And, these cute little mini clipboards.

Last, I'm not sure where I found the idea of Smelly Stickers, but OH MY WORD...my kids are head over heels with this!  I've been "passin' em out" like crazy this week.  I found a huge set of JUMBO smelly chapstick at TJ Maxx for like 5 bucks.  Jackpot!  

I'll be back with the winners of the Weather giveaway winners this weekend!  :)

Please head over and follow me on Facebook if you haven't already...pretty please.  

1st day back...

 So, today was my first day back...away from my little sweetie, but I got to see my other 19 sweeties.  It really was a great day.  The kids were great!  It was kinda like I never left.  Everything was smooth running...we were even DIBELED today and that was great too!  I still need a few days to get back into the swing of the routine.  However, I jumped right in and began making my newest unit on Weather.  I'm so excited to teach this next week.  I haven't taught a full week of weather in a few years.  I've got some fun ideas.  Here's the preview of the weather unit.  Thursday is our 100th day of school!  Have you had yours yet?  Check back this weekend for pictures.  Click the pictures to visit the unit.

Surprise!  I'll give this unit to 2 people... Just tell me what the weather is like where you live.  :)

New Christmas Unit and Black Friday Shopping Hours and

Okay girls, (and maybe the occasional guy)...no one guessed the number of hours I spent shopping on Black Friday corectly.  So, I'm going to give my Polar Express Unit to the first guess that was the closest...which was 15...and Crystal (K5Rocks)  is the winner!  I'll be e-mailing you soon!

I actually spent a total of 22 hours shopping!!  Yes...insane, but SO MUCH FUN!  This is a family tradition that we've been doing since I was in middle school I guess.  Both of my parents go, my sister, sister-n-law, aunt, and bestie always go.  Now, my dad is the bag holder and car loader for us.  He likes to "people watch", but gets stuck holding a bunch of bags and makes tons trip after trip to the car.  This year, we started at 11 pm and got home the next night at 9 pm.  My wonderful husband took care of the baby...he's awesome by the way!  A PRO at baby stuff and my girls spent the weekend with cousins from out of town.  I got tons of shopping done...Yay! 

If you are a first or second grade teacher PLEASE check out my sister's store and blog and follow her if you will.  She's been on tpt for a few months now but I would love it if you would follow her.  She has some great little packets and "stuff" available...and it's cheap! 

Check out her new Christmas Literacy Pack.  It has some cute little pages that are ready to print and use...little or no prep time.  Thanks friends!  You're the BEST!

Last, click the picture below to visit my newest creation...Holly Jolly Christmas with DJ Inkers clipart (By request)!  So Cute! 

TPT Sale Cyber Monday and Polar Express Unit

Hello all!  Long time no blog huh?  I am keeping busy with my new little one at home and he is doing great!  Thanks for all who have checked in on us!  :)  Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We did.  God has blessed my family SO!  

I am joining in on the Cyber Monday plus Bonus Tuesday sale at TPT!  Hope you all get some serious shopping done for the upcoming months!  :)  There are so many great things out there that I could def. put into good use in my classroom once I return.  Click the picture above to go straight to my store.

I have just completed my new Polar Express Unit.  If you are interested in it CLICK HERE.  There are some fun things in it that align perfectly with Common Core.  I literally study what my daughter brings home in her folder since I'm not at work right now and am making games she could benefit from.  I'm working on a new Christmas math and literacy too...hopefully it will be up soon!  

Oh, and thanks to everyone who played in my Halloween Giveaway!  I def. did e-mail the winner, but never got it posted that I chose someone...but I did.  :)  It's so hard to post when you don't have your laptop on hand.  

Here are my December Unts already available in my store.  Click the pic to go to the unit.

First person to guess how many straight hours of Black Friday shopping I did this past weekend will get my Polar Express unit for FREE.  :)  Don't forget your e-mail!    

New Stuff...

,  

Hi all!  Well, since I'm out on maternity leave my computer is at school with my sub...I've been using my husband's iPad to make posts.  I'm not really sure how to get pictures on my posts from this thing...so they are a little boring.  (Wait, I think I figured it out...do you see the pics at the top?).
Anywho...I wanted to tell you about my new tpt stuff.  I have added a new Search and Find Sight Words pack set 1 and Turkey Time Common Core Math Centers.  Since I'm not working at the moment I've been studying what my daughter brings home in her folder to see what they are doing in class.  These centers will be perfect for my classroom next year for common core and I hope you find them helpful too.  I'm working on the literacy set too.  Hope to be done with those tomorrow.  If you are interested check them out HERE and HERE.
Happy Wednesday!
