Spring Freebie!!

Eight days  until spring is officially here, we can't wait! The weather here has been in the 60's and this week it is going to hit the high 70's.  We are off on Friday, this was a snow makeup day. We had no snow days this year, I was pretty bummed, but now I am glad. Spring Break is 2 weeks and 3 days away, but who is counting!!!

We have been working on open and closed syllables. I made this activity as a review. I hope you can use it!!

Teachers Taking Care of Teachers

Everytime we turn on the news and learn about the updates about those who have been affected by this terrible tradegy it saddnes our hearts. It really hits home because this was what our weather reporters were predicting for our area. Somehow by the grace of God, it missed us!

What can we do to help? We will be dontating our items in our TPT store to those teachers in need.
Krystal at Kreative in Kinder is having is having a Link Up for teachers that want to help the teachers that  lost everything from the tordadoes that hit thier area. Please link up to help those teachers.

Come back tomorrow for a Spring Freebie.

Teachers Notebook Store Now Open!

We have just opened our Teachers Notebook Store. There are only a few items right now, we are in the process of uploading everything into the store. I add a Teachers Notebook button, somehow I got two!!! The first one is the correct one, the second one won't come off- when I click on it, it tells me "The Webpage cannot be found" PLEASE HELP!! Thanks so much

Hump Day Freebie!

Why do four day weeks seem longer than five day weeks? Kids did not come to school on Monday because it was a PLC day for teachers in the district. It never fails, the week seems to go by so much slower when the kids don't come everyday!! Here is  a little something that Mary put together to help her students with prefixes. Hope some of you can use it!

Weather Unit On TPT

We finally posted our weather unit last night on TPT along with a word game for vowel digraphs (au, aw, ew, ui). I had put together a collage to advertise the weather unit- but can't seem to find where it saved on the computer. If you are interested and want to check it out there is a preview on TPT. I hope everyone had  a great start to the week. No kids today, its a PLC (Professional Learning Club) day here in our district.

Prayers For The Storm Victims

Yesterday was a very stressful day and evening here in Central Kentucky! Fortunately our area was not hit. The storm went right above and below us, based on the weather patterns we were suppose to get hit pretty hard!  Unfortunately, as I am sure you all know, several areas were hit very hard, even completely destroyed! Our hearts go out to those who were affected by this terrible sequence of tornado's. Prayers are being sent your way.

 Here is a writing prompt that I am going to use with my kiddos during St. Patricks Day week. Click the picture to download.

Better Late Then Never!!

I guess time has just got away from me this week! Ever had one of  those weeks? My husband is out of town on business, so I am a single mom until Sunday night!

Anyway, today is TPT's Leap Year Sale. I went and put our items on sale but then never got back to advertising the sale! I realized this,this morning when someone purchased something and it showed up with the sale price. So I am advertising now!! Everything in our store (not alot of items :) is an additional 20% off. Click the picture to go to our store.

I am headed over now to buy my wish list!!

Short Vowel Freebie

It's been a wonderful start to the week! My students have been in such a good mood and the weather had been great! I actually had enough energy this evening to whip up this activity on short vowels. I am going to use this next week as a review center. I hope it is useful for you as well. Click on the picture to download the document.

St. Patricks Day Unit is Now on TPT

We finally got our Adobe Acrobat installed so we were able to get our St. Patrick's Day Unit posted! Watch for our latest freebies coming sometime this week. Most teachers in Kentucky have given up on snow days, this is the first year in a very long time we haven't had one! Now we are anxiously awaiting spring. We are working on some spring units and games and will hopefully have those up sometime this month! Enjoy your week! Click the picture to check our St. Patricks Day Unit.
