It's the Little Things....and a Little Freebie

I have soooo many little things that I want to share, I just don't know where to start. And when I say little, I really mean HUGE!! :)) It all started on Friday when I came to my classroom after having cafeteria duty to find this....

stuck to my computer. Awwww...she just melts my heart!! And it was a WONDERFUL day. I had a sweet student that went to the public library after school on Thursday and had the librarian copy several things about Abigail Adams so that she could bring them to share with the class. I DID NOT ask her to do this, we had just spent some time this week learning about her and doing some activities. Isn't that just precious???!! Excited about learning??--Yeah, I think so.

Then, when I got home I found this....

Remember how I said it's the little things that are SO HUGE? Well, several weeks ago I mentioned to my sweet husband that I think I would LOVE to have a teapot that whistled. (not sure why, but just seems warm and cozy) Anyway, this was sitting on the stove for me when I got home. He also melts my heart.

Well, now that I've shared the little things that feel so big in my heart, I have a small little freebie that I wanted to share. Next week we will be comparing and contrasting ourself with the girl from our reading story, so I made a little freebie to go with it. Stop by my TPT store and pick it up.

Now I've gotta get some sleep, I have a 5K in the morning. Yikes!

Good Night Sweet Friends!!

Reading Power Towers

When I should be getting ready for meet the teacher night and the first week of school I'm finishing up a fun little reading game. Ha!! It's what I do.......get sidetracked. I found this idea on Teacher Tipster , and it is so simple but a GREAT way to practice reading sight words. I absolutely LOVE games in the classroom.....and so do the kids. They don't even realize how much they're learning because they are so engrossed in the games. It's greatness!! All you need is a Pringles can and Dixie Cups. I bought Dixie cups from Costco because I wanted to make each one of my teamies this activity. Next I covered the Pringles can with a cover . (I made 5 different ones, please feel free to copy any or all if you want) Because these are the taller cans I covered them with construction paper first, then with the cover. (we got a little crazy with crafting this summer and my lil' sass got ahold of 2 of the lids and...

Famous Americans Project

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when the kids complete a project and they are SO proud to share it with the class. This was a project that was sent home and the kids were expected to do on their own time with their parents (help)........now as a parent I understand a little of the dread of an at-home project BUT that's because we are looking at it ALL wrong. What an awesome and precious time that you get to spend with your child learning new things??....talking??....asking questions?? Your are making treasured memories!!--and if you could only see your child's face when they bring their project to school!! They are beaming with pride AND CANNOT WAIT to share all their new knowledge with their classmates. The kids get to picked from a list of 50 or so people and then I sent home a list of different ways to present their information to the class. Pizza Box (Abigail Adams) Hanger (George Washington) Power Point (Jackie Robinson...

LOTS of {FREEBIES} on this FRIDAY

Hi Sweet Friends! My big baby is turning 16 this weekend, so I'm here to give little gifts to celebrate. Yay!! You know that I'm going to share a few pics of him before you get your {freebies}. Okay, it's time for {freebies} or I'm going to cry. { Freebie #1 } This is a center activity that integrates reading and math. I've included 60 of the first sight words that are introduced in Texas Journey's basal. The students will be reading these words and writing addition sentences to match. They are also on the lookout for DOUBLES, because in this game DOUBLES are worth more. You can pick this up at my TPT store. { FREEBIE #2 ) This is a math center activity to help the kids recognize the addend to create the double addition sentence. They must be the first to fill their backpack with each school supply (addend). I've also included blank game boards and supply cards. This gives the kids the oppo...
