Keeping Up With Kirbys

Ohhhh....I'm so excited to share my newest LOVE with you.  FONTS!!  I love fonts...and I've made some to share.   You can stop by my TPT store to pick them up.  I've linked up with TBA so stop by for more freebies. Have a SWEET day!!

The kids came in the first day with a Play-doh activity waiting for them.  Second graders LOVE play-doh too.  It was a great way to keep them busy while I gathered supplies and greeted parents.  You can pick it up { here }.
